11/10/2017

 
This Sunday, November 12, the River will be joined by a video team that will be helping us capture some footage for the church's upcoming digital marketing/social media campaign. One great way for you to support this effort is to be there on Sunday as part of our community!

We wanted to give you a heads up that the video team may be shooting some footage during the RiverKids/Youth programs. If we end up wanting to use this material as part of the campaign, we will reach out to you to get your consent before posting the footage anywhere.

Feel free to reach out to caroline@rivernyc.org with any questions/concerns.

Let’s try a simple exercise. Take a few minutes to think about what you want for your child. How would you fill in the blanks: “When my child is 25, I want her/him to be ________, ________, and ________.”

The words you fill in the blanks with are your vision for your children and family. They can help guide us through the confusing mazes of decisions that parents seem to face constantly. They can help us find our way back when we get lost in the daily grind.  

RiverKids and Youth also have a vision. We take what we do seriously and think not only about teaching and nurturing kids here and now, but also about preparing and equipping them for the future we want them to have. And that vision is to "raise up Connected People."
