One Great Idea: Lego Night
Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Deb Marshall
Children’s Education Director, The United Church, Canandaigua, New York
A GenOn Partner Church
One theme that the kids in our LOGOS program ask for again and again is Lego Night. On our Lego Night, during recreation time, we set up different stations. At one station, the kids make a Lego bridge over a large gap. The challenge is to make the bridge strong enough that it will hold at least one plastic jar of peanut butter. The goal is to make the bridge strong enough to hold the most jars.

Posted by Tracey Daniels at
Rev. Melissa Cooper
Associate, Vibrant Faith
In each edition of GenOn Connect, we will ask one member of the GenOn Ministries Advisory Council the same two questions about intergenerational ministry: “What keeps you up at night?” and “What gets you up in the morning?”

We have seen the impact of cross-generational sharing of faith journeys and life-experienced wisdom when the art of Christian relationships is learned, experienced, and practiced together. The deep relationships formed through these experiences play an invaluable role in the development of lifelong disciples, and in the renewal of energy and vitality in whole congregations.

No one would have been surprised with a restless, noisy congregation as this was the end of a LOGOS evening. And it was a worship service with lots of readings and unfamiliar songs. But it wasn't restless or noisy.
