SCRIPTURE Psalm 95:1–5 Bill Gabbard O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise! For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are His also. The sea is His, for He made it, and the dry land, which His hands have formed. ANTHEM

Sunday, November 21, 2021, at 11 a.m. WE'RE GLAD YOU'RE HERE
Welcome to Second-Ponce! You belong here, and we hope you'll come back. We meet for worship Sundays at 11 a.m. in our beautiful Sanctuary and host a contemporary online worship service at 2 p.m. called All Together. You can stream them both on our Facebook page or at www.livestream.com/spdl. During the week, we have virtual small groups and Bible studies and each Wednesday, we hold a churchwide prayer call, an adult discipleship study we call SPdLU (Second-Ponce de Leon University) and age-appropriate activities for children and teens. We truly have something for everyone here at Second-Ponce. Help us get to know you better by completing a Connect card located in the pew rack. Simply hand it to a minister or drop it in the offering plate as you leave.
HOW TO JOIN LEADING OUR OFFERTORY PRAYER Gayle Suggs, chair of the new Discipleship Council, teaches in several Sunday School classes and serves as our Church Clerk. She is a past leader of the Inviting Team, a member of the Sanctuary Choir and has served as a deacon. She is employed as an Executive Assistant & Office Manager at Navigation Capital Partners, a private equity firm, and enjoys music, crocheting and reading in her spare time. Gayle and husband, Rob, are the parents of two adult children (Sally and Robert) and live in Brookhaven.

WORSHIP OF GOD
The flowers on the Communion Table are given in honor of Lucy Willard. They are given by Betty & Terry DePhillips.
Second-Ponce enthusiastically welcomes you to make a commitment to Christ and our community of faith. At any time during the Hymn of Response, simply walk to the front of the Sanctuary where our Senior Pastor or a Second-Ponce minister will greet you with warmth and joy.
HOW CAN WE PRAY FOR YOU? At Second-Ponce, you have a church family who welcomes the opportunity to join you in prayer. In fact, we consider this act an honor. Let us know how we can pray for you by filling out a prayer card located in the pew rack. You can drop it in the offering plate located in the Narthex or give it to a member of the Second-Ponce ministerial staff after worship.
GIVING TO SECOND-PONCE Your financial support of Second-Ponce allows us to carry out the mission God has for our church. We're grateful for your faithfulness to give as you are able. There are giving cards in the pew racks that utilize a QR code for making gifts online. You may also drop your offering in the offering plate located in the Narthex after the service.
