After recently attending a Children’s Ministry Conference, a suspicion of mine was confirmed, that Riverside Covenant Church is not normal, (our E-Newsletter Editor will have a heyday with this Statement) in a good way. We don’t fit into any of the percentages that all the experts talk about. We don’t have the problems smaller churches have. And lastly we have a Children’s Director that feels supported, encouraged, and appreciated by parents and church leadership alike. It was a blessing to attend a great children’s conference and come home with new ideas and affirmation about the things we are doing right. Thank you Riverside for allowing me this opportunity!
Promiseland Chatter-October 2011
Fall is definitely here and is it ever beautiful outside! God is so good to give us beautiful turning leaves to marvel at as we go about our busy days. It won’t be long until some of you will be carving out those pumpkins with the kids. I can’t carve one anymore with out thinking of Liz Curtis Higgs’ children’s book The Pumpkin Patch Parable. The story talks about scooping out all that yucky stuff in the pumpkin just like God can take all the yucky stuff out of our hearts when we give our lives to Him. He then puts His light in us to shine for others to see just like we put lights in our pumpkins to light up the nights. If you are not familiar with this book, I highly recommend it. That way, you might take this opportunity to have a conversation with your children about sin and God’s plan concerning it.
This month our 3-5 yr. olds will hear true stories of Old Testament kids: Miriam, David, the Little Girl who helped Naaman, and Josiah. During the first lesson, they will hear the basic truth that God is with us. Through the rest of the unit, they will discover that God wants us to help others and that we can obey Him.
Promiseland Chatter-September 2011
After what seems like a much too short summer, we are stepping into our fall schedule this Sunday in Promiseland. Your children will move into their new classes, so please let us know if we have anyone in the wrong room. A reminder to all of the new 4th graders: your class only meets the first service because of small numbers.
Promiseland Chatter-June 2011
Summer is here and we are off and running with Vacation Bible School plans. If you haven’t already, please take time to register your children now.

Our theme this year is Big Apple Adventure and begins June 20 thru 24 at 6:00 to 8:30 for 3yrs – going into 6th grade. The kids will learn that they can have faith in Jesus, love Jesus, trust Jesus as their Savior, Tell others about Jesus, and Live for Jesus.
This Sunday June 5th will be the last day to shop at the Promisemart store until fall.
