Childrens Ministry Curriculum

What we are learning:

Join us on Wednesday
nights for Faith Adventures as we: 

- Learn to hear God through His word and by listening
to His voice
- Energize our faith through God's love and by walking in love
- Turn on our faith by speaking God's word.

Sunday Morning:
Our Amazing God

In October, we will begin new curriculum  called "Our Amazing God." It is written by Becky Fischer, the founder and director of Kids in Ministry International. This series contains some of the most foundational material needed for children growing up in our churches today. These lessons cover the most basic biblical concepts of God, who He is, what He has done, is doing, and will do. It includes the study of the three persons of the Trinity in great detail, the part each of them played in creation, our salvation, and how they interact with each of us in our everyday lives. They also discuss the basic Bible experiences of salvation, water baptism, and the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The series end with four in depth lessons on how we are created in God's image--spirit, soul, and body.

Dear Parents,
We love to see our children being compassionate and generous! The KIDS 4 KIDS mission project has helped to grow those two God virtues in our River Kids’ hearts.


During this quarter (April-June), our KIDS 4 KIDS mission’s offering will be given to Marissa’s House Projects. This organization provides for orphaned children in Ethiopia and Uganda, Africa.  Marissa’s House began as a God-given dream in the heart of Marissa McGill.  Marissa's House Projects was established by Ken & Leslie McGill to memorialize their daughter, Marissa, who went to be with the Lord in 2008.For more information, please go to www.marissashouse.com

The children’s offering proclamation states this:
As I obey God with my offering, I speak His blessing over me. I believe God is blessing me. The devil is being told to go away. God is taking care of me and helping me to be smart. 
I know that what I give comes back to me.
I believe God is growing me up to be a blessing to people.
Thank You, Jesus!
 
Thank you for encouraging and partnering with our River Kids as they become a blessing to others!
