The "Why" Rather Than the "How" of LOGOS
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Last fall, we decided that God was calling us to start a children’s ministry at our church, Laramie First United Methodist Church (UMC). The need for something to strengthen our youth’s connection with Christ, foster relationships between the congregation and youth, and instill a greater sense of purpose in our church led us to LOGOS. A few of us had previous experience with LOGOS ministries and knew firsthand how transformational this would be for UMC.
