October 2013 Promiseland Chatter
Hello, from Promiseland. I hope your Fall is going well and that you are not too busy to take time as a family to be in God’s Word together. I’m reading a book called Shepherding a Child’s Heart and the author talks about how Scripture teaches that the heart is the control center for life. A person’s life is a reflection of his heart. Proverbs 4:23 states it like this: “Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life.” The picture here is of the heart as a well from which all the issues of life gush forth. The behavior a person exhibits is an expression of the overflow of the heart. Because of this truth, I believe it is imperative for those who are parents to be in the Word of God with their children because it is the Word that will change your child’s heart so they can be who God made them to be, like Him.
2014 Pictorial Directory
Don’t be left out of the pictorial directory! It’s time for an update to the Pictorial Directory. Our 2014 pictorial directory will help us all get to know one another better. The directory will also be a wonderful gift for those new to Riverside, helping them to get to know their new church family quickly.
We are looking for updated photos and contact information for all who call Riverside home. For those who would like to have a photo taken, there will be two opportunities offered on Sunday, October 13 and October 20 between services and after the second service. A “studio” will be temporarily set up downstairs in the classroom at the end of the hallway on both Sundays or if weather permits pictures may be taken outside. Riverside member and photographer, Eric Smoldt has graciously offered his talents in taking photos for our directory. Before you get your picture taken, there will be folks available to give you the information we have in our records so youcan review it and make any changes or additions.
