60 Years of Nurturing Intergenerational Relationships in Churches
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
From two pastors who "grew up" in LOGOS midweek ministry: “The power of intergenerational connection through LOGOS has been central to my approach to ministry. While the trend among many churches is to have separate events (and even worship) for children and youth, my own experience of these multigenerational connections later revealed to me how formational that was to my own journey of faith. But if there is one foundational understanding that has stuck with me throughout the years, it is the one on the buttons we used to make and wear: ‘I am a Child of God.’” Rev. Mark...

Keeping LOGOS Intergenerational Ministry Going in the Pandemic
Posted by Liz Perraud at
How is your church doing LOGOS or other intergenerational ministry in a pandemic? Here are brief descriptions from three churches, all illustrating how much the staff and volunteers love LOGOS and each other. State College Presbyterian Church State College, Pennsylvania Two Tuesdays a month, on an RSVP basis, dinners are available for curbside pick-up at the church and come with a packet of games, surprises, and conversation starters. These meals are then shared virtually with household groups to eat together, play games, discuss Bible stories, and connect with one another. The other two Tuesdays, there are Bible stories and worship...
