SCRIPTURE OR QUOTE
… Christ is formed in us—for the glory of God, for the abundance of our own lives, and for the sake of others. -Ruth Haley Barton
IN THE KIDS CLUB
Here, children (birth-5th grade) grow in faith while exploring God’s love through Bible study, prayer, worship and service. The Kids Club at Second-Ponce is intentionally:
Curious | A place to learn about God’s love
Compassionate | A place to care for God’s creation
Cozy | A place to feel safe in God’s arms
If you want to talk more about our children’s ministry, email Rev. Allie Osborne, Minister of Missions and Children’s Discipleship. She welcomes conversations with kids of all ages (and adults, too!)
WEDNESDAYS
The Kids Club is one floor up from the Sanctuary, and our greeters will be happy to show you the way. Sunday School is from 9:45-10:45 a.m. after which we have two optIons for kids who are not ready to participate in a full hour of worship: Children can stay in The Kids Club for the entirety of the worship service or, if you prefer, they can sit with you in the Sanctuary and leave with ministry leaders after Story on the Steps.

KIDS CLUB EVENTS
Circle Up is a comprehensive ministry event for families with age-appropriate programming for children and youth, and a dedicated parent group. Circle Up meets on the 2nd Sunday of the month from 12-2:30 p.m. and lunch is free!
Formerly called Parents Night Out, FriYAYs are fun Friday night gatherings with games, crafts and dinner. These quarterly events—where youth can volunter—are great for parents and caregivers to enjoy a night away.
Annual events like the Community Egg Hunt, Vacation Bible School and Fall Fest are family favorites. Kids also participate in special Sundays like Back-to-School Sunday, Children’s Sunday and VBS Family Day.
IN SPdL YOUTH
SPdL Youth are believers who embrace God, our community and each other by celebrating God’s call for our lives. Through authentic relationships and relevant Biblical study, we are becoming young disciples of Christ learning to live out our faith. Our youth and families prioritize community by creating a safe place to ask hard questions and pray for each other.
If you want to talk more about faith and student life, Rev. Jonathan Hall, our Minister of Community and Student Discipleship, would love to chat.
