LOGOS is a Wednesday evening youth ministry of Christian nurture for children and youth. It is an international program offered in churches around the world. The LOGOS program at the Sun Prairie United Methodist Church is a fun-filled program where children meet with others for fellowship and learn about the Christian faith. Dozens of volunteer and professional staff adult leaders from our church gather each week to play, teach, nurture, and care for the children who come to LOGOS. LOGOS celebrates nurturing relationships through the model of Jesus Christ.

"LOGOS"
In our Jewish and Christian heritage there is no word quite like "LOGOS." The term has been used to describe "WORD"…the way God has been shown to us specifically as JESUS CHRIST. It also means "only one of its kind." We are each made individually in the image of God!
Who can be involved with LOGOS?
Anyone! Children, youth, and adults can participate in LOGOS on Wednesday evenings. You do not need to be a member of our church to be a part of LOGOS.
LOGOS is for children and youth in grades 1-12. However, there are many ministry positions available for adults who would like to be a part of LOGOS.
One of the requirements of LOGOS is that a parent needs to volunteer in some capacity. Various opportunities exist with differing time requirements, ranging from helping in the kitchen to teaching Bible Study, helping with Recreation, Worship Skills, being a Table Parent and many more. The parental involvement reinforces to the youth that LOGOS is important – and it also allows the parents a chance to experience the fun and fellowship as well as to grow in their own faith.
Needed: LOGOS volunteers who love GOD and love youth! We have over 150 dedicated Adult Volunteers to be able to provide LOGOS at SPUMC. We need volunteers in many areas. Some positions are weekly, others are monthly. Contact Deb at 837-5554 ext. 107 and find out where you would best be able to fit in!
* With the church's Safe Sanctuaries Policy, all volunteers working with infants, children or youth are required to have a background check, fill out a volunteer application form and attend a Safe Sanctuaries training.
The LOGOS Registration Deadline is September 20th
If you had children in LOGOS last year:
- You may register and attend the Parent Meeting at the Christian Education Picnic on Sunday, August 30th at Wetmore Park across from the church. Come after church, lunch at 11:30. Bring a salad or dessert. See other LOGOS families you may not have seen over the summer! This is the best opportunity for you to learn about LOGOS for each age group (your children are growing!) and some changes we have made this year. We will also have information on all opportunities at SPUMC for children and youth in grades 1-12 this fall.
- You may also register online. Print up the registration form and mail it or drop it off at the church with payment by the September 20th deadline. You will then need to pick up a parent handbook.
If you have NOT had children in the LOGOS program before, a parent meeting is mandatory:
- There will be a Parent Meeting at the Christian Education Picnic on Sunday, August 30th and you may register then. Come after church, lunch at 11:30 at Wetmore Park, across from the church parking lot. Bring a salad or dessert. This is the best opportunity for you to learn about LOGOS as well as all Chrisian Education Opportunitities open to children and youth in grades 1-12 this fall at SPUMC.
- If you can not make the Christian Education Picnic, we will have another LOGOS Parent Meeting for parents new to LOGOS on Wednesday, September 9th at 6:30 p.m. at church.
- If you are not able to make it to either of the parent meetings, please call 837-5554 ext. 107 or email rdmulhern@charter.net so we can set up a time for an individual parent meeting.
