Summer Plans And More

Dear River Families, 
As we move into the final month of school year, I would like to thank you, your family, and our volunteers for your continued partnership and support in cultivating a caring and resilient community. Despite the ever changing COVID policy and various uncertainties, we had a great year at RiverKids/Youth: reconnecting with old friends, making new connections, while interacting and exploring the stories of God together. So, to celebrate what your children/youth have done since the fall, let me share with you some of the highlights from our classrooms (see pictures below).

Whether you are staying in the city for the entire summer or traveling for part of the season, we hope to stay connected with you and your families. Here are a few of our upcoming activities: 
  • Child Dedication & Senior Graduation (Sunday, June 26) -- Join our worship service as we celebrate dedication of 4 children and the graduation of 2 high school seniors. We will pray and offer our blessings as we unite to be a supporting community for everyone. 

  • Picnic is a long time favorite activity of the summer -- We hope to gather adults and children after the service every other Sunday and walk over to nearby parks/playgrounds. Feel free to bring a picnic blanket, water bottles, some toys, or packed lunch. (Starting Sunday, July 3)

  • Parents' Discussion will be happening on the alternating Sundays after the service. Our hope is to create a space where parents can share their experience and support each other. Extended childcare provided during this event. (Starting Sunday, July 10)

  • River One-Day Retreat - we are gauging interest and availability to hold a one-day event to depend relationships, connect with God, and have fun together as a community, please complete this survey, if you have not done so. 

Please be on the lookout for our emails and further announcements. You can also follow us on Instagram and Facebook for more current updates on our community using the links at the bottom of this page. As always, I am up for connecting with you, so if you want to chat 1-on-1, or have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I would love to hear from you! 
Amelia Cunard | RiverKids Director

JULY-AUGUST CHILDCARE: We need your help
 
Every summer our regular RiverKids program takes a break to give our volunteers well-deserved time off and our leaders a chance to plan for another year of fun. Please sign up here to help with childcare. It's easy! All will be prepared for you—just come ready to engage and have fun with the kids!

We'll be offering a combined childcare for Preschool & Elementary during our worship service. Nursery room will be open for parents of babies and toddlers (Live streaming available). 

We will continue our RiverYouth programming throughout the summer and reserved 2 Sundays for Youth outings: July 3, Aug 7. Please be on the lookout for our emails and  further announcements.
