5 Stand Up Class for Children at the Ford At Madison at the Ford, we celebrate Stand Up Sundays, where people of all ages are able to publically profess their faith. These Sundays are a culmination of a process of teaching and disciplining with mentors in the church, where those who are looking to make this step are poured into and challenged to think through their calling and relationship with God. A four week Stand Up class for children who wish to make this step will be offered this spring. This class will be held on Sundays after the morning service and will use Scripture and the Heidelberg catechism to study our identity in Christ as well as Spiritual disciplines. During the final class, children will be given the opportunity to meet with elders from the church to have conversations about faith and to learn from the wisdom the elders have from years of walking out their own faith journeys. If you are a parent of a child who is ready to make this step or if you have questions about this class, please contact Joanna DeMoor-Tannor at jdemoor@madisonsquarechurch.org. Sunday Morning Children's Ministries at the Ford Children PreK through 5th grade will be released for Children's church classes part way through the service. Nursery is available for babies and toddlers under PreK age throughout the service, and is located next to the Welcome desk/children's Ministry check in area. Parents, please make sure that your children birth through 5th grade have been checked in on the computers at the Welcome desk before they attend children's ministries.
