Butt deliver vs from evyll

Posted by Liz Perraud at

Bible study for the middle schoolers at LOGOS was on The Lord's Prayer. We began by reading it together as written in 1525—"Lett thy kyngdo come" and "Butt deliver vs from evyll." Yes, Butt, with a capital "B" even. You can imagine the (normal!) reaction. And then we read a more recent version from Matthew and from Luke and compared the two Gospels. Luke wrote with fewer words summarizing the main points, the youth observed.  We looked at who wrote—or spoke—the prayer (Jesus) and who requested it (the disciples).  Teach us to pray, they asked.  What are we praying for...

Why InterGenerate?

Posted by Liz Perraud at

One of my first experiences in church was singing in the choir. I was about nine years old, not much of a singer but I liked to sing and I loved church.

The Force Was With Us

Posted by Liz Perraud at

We invited the force to be with us at LOGOS at Christ Memorial Presbyterian Church. The Police Force. The force was with us for a shared meal which always means more than eating. Over chicken nuggets and orange slices each LOGOS table hosted a police officer. The conversations were lively and as I circulated through the room serving salad I saw the officers not only as guests but also as "all in." They helped make sure the children had enough food and they delighted in their questions. They played the after-dinner game of Community Drawing where each table drew a...
