Promiseland Chatter-November 2010
Parents, for over a year, I’ve been trying to think of ways for our older PL children to serve others. Becky does a great job providing ways for our older kids to serve and I feel the younger kids need to be given the opportunity to do the same. The PL Ministry Team came up with some suggestions, such as, making cookies for the Jubilee Christmas, helping sort food at a food pantry, doing some type of activity with the kids at the Women’s Shelter, and helping in some manner with the elderly in our church or in the community. We would welcome other ideas and volunteers to coordinate some of the activities. Our thought is to do something monthly or at least several times a year. As of now, we will start with making cookies for the Jubilee Christmas. We will have sign up sheets at the check-in table in Promiseland soon.
FAQ Operation Christmas Child
So maybe you are new to Riverside and you have never heard of Operation Christmas Child. Or maybe you have slept a few hours since last year and you just can’t remember. Here are a few tips to help you pack your box.
Adult Discovery Hour
Now that Riverside has moved into the routine of two Sunday morning worship services, regular Adult Discovery Hour is coming back. Adult Discovery Hour is an opportunity for you to discover God more fully through biblical discussion with other adults. John Umbeck and others will facilitate the discussions.
This upcoming Sunday John will lead a meeting between the two services at 10:15AM in the sanctuary to discuss the plan for the class and any topic ideas you may have. We encourage you to attend this meeting and to plan to make Adult Discovery Hour a part of your Sunday morning routine.
