 Dear River Families,
I hope you are as excited as I am about celebrating Lent: 40 Days of Faith! The 40 Days of Faith has always been a hallmark in our family life. It gives me and my husband a reason and room in our hectic life to be more intentional in growing our faith and deepening our connections with our children. From my experience with Riverkids, storytelling has always been the children’s favorite time. It is a special way for them to meet and interact with God. With this Family Guide, I would like to share this experience with you, our River parents. I invite you and your children to explore the stories in the book of Mark with wonder, curiosity and openness. In this guide I am sharing some tips, some “wondering questions”, and prayers that are designed to help us enter deeper into the story. My hope in this season is that your family will be “Surprised by Jesus”. Jesus - who might be different from our expectations and assumptions, who speaks and shows us new ways to look at and approach our life situations, and shows us how to engage God, others, and the world around us. Warmly, Amelia Cunard | Riverkids Director WEEK 1 FAMILY GUIDE | WEEK 2 FAMILY GUIDE | WEEK 3 FAMILY GUIDE WEEK 4 FAMILY GUIDE | WEEK 5 FAMILY GUIDE | WEEK 6 FAMILY GUIDE also available from the RiverNYC App. |
