The VBS Craft room needs your help supplying the children with arts and crafts! There is a poster on the VBS sign-up table with numerous tags of various colors. Each tag has a number and the description of the items needed for different crafts during VBS. Please take a tag or two, and put your name on the attached sheet next to the items you are purchasing. Return the items with the tag attached to the church by Monday, June 21. If you have any questions, please contact Stephanie Brennan (532-5682) or [email protected].

Congratulations to Our Bible Memory Challenge Winners
This week in the service we recognized those Promiseland kids who successfully completed the Promiseland Bible Challenge. The K-3rd grades shared the song they used to help them memorize all 66 books of the Bible. While eight kids we able to memorize all 66 books, almost all of the kids were able to memorize the entire New Testament and most of the Old. Those Minor Prophets can be tricky!
The eight winners of a free pass to Tropicanoe Cove are:
- Nathan Brennan
- Aiden Burkholder
- Elias Burkholder
- Chloe Madrid
- Maddie Rush
- Alex Stout
- Jesse Stout
- Owen Tayler
If you see these kids around, tell them what a great job they did!!
Riverside Life
One of the greatest things about being a pastor is that I get to witness God at work in the lives of various people every day. I realize that many of you never get to hear about the amazing things that happen within Riverside every week . . . so, I thought I would fill you in on a few. Through Riverside, you are a part of the movement of God!
Summer With Women’s Ministry
I just signed my kids up for the summer reading club at the library and now I have the pleasure of letting the women of Riverside – and their friends – know about their own summer reading opportunities. So, pick up your book(s) at the table by the sound booth, find a cozy place to read and curl up with a few good reads!
1) If you missed the first week of our summer Bible study, it’s not too late to join. Our summer session is a laid-back opportunity to study God’s word and read a good book while you’re at it. On Wednesday nights, we’ll meet to discuss Work in Progress: An Unfinished Woman’s Guide to Grace by Kristin Armstrong. The location rotates so contact Megan Mills or Gretchen Shook with any questions. June 9th Anne Custer is hosting the discussion at 6 p.m. but the rest of the summer, Bible study will begin at 7 p.m. This group will NOT meet June 23, 30 or July 28.
The “Design a Shirt” T-shirts Are In!
The t-shirts are here and ready to be picked up. Also, we have LOTS of extras for kids and smaller adult sizes. If you didn’t pre-order, you are more than welcome to purchase one on Sunday. T-Shirts are $15 each and the proceeds support our Youth Group mission project this summer.
Please either contact Becky Wellner ([email protected]) or talk to a member of the Youth Group for pickups or new purchases.
