Overview
The LOGOS Program enables parents to fulfill a portion of the basic responsibilities set by God for them in the raising of their children. Parents are to take an active role in LOGOS and are to assist their children with assignments, encourage their regular participation, and nurture their faith and growth in the Christian life.

Active participation by at least one parent or sponsor of every child in LOGOS is required. Since the staff is volunteer, part time service by a large number of people is essential to keep the many activities going. At least as important, however, is the “moral boosting” effect of the parent’s physical presence and visible support of the program from time to time. This is a vital element in the successful operation of the LOGOS program.

At the time of registration, either one or both parents or sponsors will be given the opportunity to fill out a Volunteer Sign-Up Sheet indicating how they would like to be involved.

Dinner Hour
Parents and sponsors are invited and encouraged to attend the dinner hour as often as possible. They will sit at special tables for adults and participate in all dinner time activities. Please call the church office to make a reservation for dinner by Monday of the week you would like to attend. Cost for the meal is $3 per person.

How to Help Your Child in LOGOS

1. Insist upon regular attendance in the program on LOGOS day and in the choir/hand bell performance dates on Sunday morning and for special choir programs.

2. Assist your child in preparation of his/her weekly LOGOS Bible lesson. We do not want you to prepare this, but ask that you see to it that your child does so. An unprepared child soon loses interest because he/she cannot follow the class. If your young person is absent from LOGOS, he/she should prepare their assignment for the next week as they would if they had been present.

3. See that your son or daughter brings his/her workbook each week. There is nothing for a student to do in class if the book is at home. Should a book be lost, it must be replaced. Another may be purchased through the LOGOS director for $15. Lost and found LOGOS books will be taken to the church office. LOGOS bags may be purchased to assist your child in keeping LOGOS materials together and to aid in transporting them from home to LOGOS.

4. See that your child brings his/her Bible each week. Since the study is Bible centered, it is important to have personal Bibles in class.

5. Fulfill your commitment in your assigned areas of LOGOS service. Volunteers in LOGOS are not paid, but are working for their Lord in committing this time for the development of young people, and you, by giving of your time, render a vital service to our youth. Arrange for your own substitute when necessary.

6. Arrange for prompt payment of LOGOS program fees.

7. Encourage and participate in daily Bible reading and prayer. Regular Bible reading and prayer are encouraged in the home. It is not easy to establish such a habit, but a regular time set aside each day will help. At meal time or just before bed often prove to be the times most easily kept. Some of the LOGOS assignments can be used at this time.

8. When your child is scheduled to sing or play hand bells, it is important that you help your child fulfill his choir commitment by getting him to the church on time. Participation in periodic worship is part of the LOGOS commitment.

9. Stress the importance of courtesy and good behavior at LOGOS. Emphasis on these matters at home will greatly ease the work of our staff.
