THERE’S A NEW KIDS’ CLUB LOGO A WORD FROM MS. HEATHER This new logo suite, designed by our talented Communications Director, Candice Young, reflects what our Second-Ponce Kids’ Club is all about: An adventurous journey of exploring faith in Jesus alongside friends and family. With the new logo, our bi-weekly e-newsletter is also getting a new name! Introducing Trail Mix where you will find "food for thought along our faith exploration adventure," including great information about our programs, events and activities, as well as recommended resources for families. In the next several editions of Trail Mix, we will explore what each piece of our new logo represents. Let’s start by looking at the beautiful big tent in our new logo!
WELCOME TO SECOND-PONCE
Second-Ponce is a “big tent” church where there is room for all to belong. No matter who we are or where we come from, we all belong here, and the same is true at our Kids' Club. We pray that all children feel welcomed, loved and encouraged as we explore faith together. With every blessing, Ms. Heather
