KidMission:
Nursery Through 5th Grade
The conference isn't only for adults! This year, kids will learn from the very first missionary, Paul, and the book of Romans that ALL Christ followers are called to take the good news of the gospel “into the darkness.” We’ll hear from missionaries from our very own congregation who are preparing to deploy to the mission field and will immerse ourselves, with them, in the cultures they’re moving to. Get ready for an immersive time of games, crafts, snacks, and exploring what the book of Romans teaches us about sharing our faith!
Evening of Worship
Led by Laura Story and Jordan Kauflin
Finally, don’t miss the closing of the conference at evening worship on Sunday, March 1, led by guest artists Laura Story and Jordan Kauflin. For decades, they have gifted the Church with beloved songs like All I Have Is Christ, Indescribable, Blessings, and Come Unto Jesus, and we’re thrilled to welcome them to Second for this special night of worship. The duo will be joined by special musical guest Kirk Whalum. This concert is free to attend.
Sing with the choir! We invite you to join the worship choir for Laura Story and Jordan Kauflin on Sunday, March 1, at 6:00pm. Whether you’re an experienced singer or just love to lift your voice,—all ages, 7th grade and up, are welcome to participate.
