GenOn Youth Summit 2022 Is On!

Posted by Liz Perraud at

Kelly BurnettGenOn Youth Summit Coordinator             Youth Summit 2022July 10-16, 2022 @ Johnson University in Knoxville, TN For students completing grades 8-12, college-aged young adults, and the adults who love and support them. Two years ago, we gathered in Colorado and West Virginia for GenOn Summit 2019.  It was, as usual, a wonderful experience of living together in Christian Community.  With a pandemic sweeping the globe, the leadership was forced to make the difficult decision to postpone the Summit until the summer of 2022.  This forced hiatus has given rise to the creation of one...

By Rev. Thom Lamb, Grace Presbyterian Church, Temple, TX I will never forget when Robert came and asked if I would accompany him for the talent show at what was then known as LOGOS Conference East.

I really tried to convince him to sing something a little more in his range, but Robert was insistent, and I was fearful that he would embarrass himself....

Is LOGOS with Youth Different than LOGOS with Children?

Posted by Liz Perraud at

By Liz Perraud, Executive Director, GenOn Ministries LOGOS with middle schoolers and high schoolers is different than with children. And yet it's not. The WHY of LOGOS is the same for any age-because we believe that an abundant life-giving relationship with God through Jesus Christ is more important than anything else. The WHAT that results from LOGOS is also the same--a relationship with God and Christ-centered relationships with others. It's the HOW that varies depending on the age level.

Visiting Churches Encourages Conversations

Posted by Liz Perraud at

By Liz Perraud, Executive Director, GenOn Ministries I spent a great deal of 2016 on the road visiting LOGOS churches.

It was a blessing to have so many in-person conversations with pastors, educators, LOGOS directors, and lots of church volunteers. The best conversations were on long walks and airport drives.
