Welcome to the new school year 4th-6th grade parents and families! On the 3rd Wednesday of each month we invite all of our 4th-6th graders to come together and spend an evening full of games, bible stories, and connection with others their age. Friends are always welcome and attendance is never mandatory. Just come when you can throughout the year, no RSVP ever needed.

To welcome everyone to a new school year, we wanted to hold more of a low key connection time after the first week of school. We will meet by the POP Kids preschool entrance before beginning games and ending with Smores. In the event of rain, we will meet in the PLC Gym.

We hope to see you there and if you are unable to make it, mark your calendars for our next meeting on September 17th!

Email Ginger Tomes with any questions.

Adult Volunteers Needed!

Each month, we are asking for one adult to stay and help Sheryl Melvin and Ginger Tomes with our meeting. Meetings are preplanned and led by Ginger and Sheryl, however, we are looking for an extra volunteer to help with activities and with group discussions we may have. Please sign up for one or two meetings at the link below.

POP456 Help

Kids and youth are invited to support the Resurrection Project this year in a special way. Each family or child can decorate a Noisy Offering bottle in the Gathering Space to fill with spare change and dollars this Easter season. We'll invite all to be a part of our Pentecost Procession on June 7-8 where these donations will be added to the Resurrection Project gifts benefiting children in Haiti and the launch of the campus ministry: Jacob's Porch Cincy. 

Come serve with us! Every donation of time, talent or finances is equally important and every donation makes an incredible difference in the lives of the poorest of the poor and disaster victims. All are invited to come to Matthew 25 for an afternoon of volunteering. Sign up at this link.
