🌸 Happy Mother’s Day from RiverKids! 🌸

To every mom who pours out love, patience, and faith into her children, thank you!

Kids, today is the perfect day to tell your mom how much you love her and how grateful you are that God chose her to be your mommy! 💛

Moms, we see you, we celebrate you, and we’re covering you in prayer. May the Lord refresh your heart and fill you with His strength today and every day.

✨ Sunday School Recap: Blueprints Series ✨
This week in our Blueprints series with our Elementary class, we talked about how to biblically manage our emotions - especially those moments when we feel like we have to be perfect.

Need to Know:
When I feel I need to be perfect, Jesus only wants my best. 💛

We explored how God doesn’t expect flawless performance from us. He knows our hearts, sees our efforts, and meets us right where we are with grace. Instead of chasing perfection, we’re learning to bring our honest emotions to Jesus, the One who understands them completely and offers real peace and freedom.

What a beautiful reminder that His yoke is easy and His burden is light!

Parents, we’d love to hear:
How are you helping your kids understand that Jesus wants their best, not their perfect? Drop your thoughts below 👇

Happy Easter from the RiverKids at River of Life Church!

We joyfully completed our “Journey to the Resurrection” with our amazing youth group by our side! The kids had a blast learning about Jesus’ incredible love, His sacrifice, and the power of His resurrection.

From palm branches to empty tombs, their faces lit up as they discovered the greatest story ever told — He is risen!

Thank you to our incredible youth helpers for pouring into our little ones with such joy and energy. What a beautiful way to celebrate the hope we have in Christ!

He is risen indeed! ✝️

✨ Road to the Resurrection ✨

Hi families! Join us for a special, hands-on experience as our preschool and elementary RiverKids walk the very path Jesus walked leading up to His resurrection!

Through interactive stations, songs, and storytelling, the kids will journey with Jesus from the Triumphal Entry all the way to the empty tomb — a meaningful and fun way to prepare their hearts for Easter!

Part one begins tomorrow during the 11am service!

🍎 Snacks will be provided as we experience the Last Supper together! Please let us know in advance if your child has any allergies or food preferences so we can make sure everyone stays safe and included.

Let’s help our kids understand the greatest story ever told! ❤️

Your child learned about the return of Jesus this Sunday - what a powerful truth!

Take a few minutes this week to talk with them about it. These conversations don’t have to be complicated, just intentional.

💛 Ask questions
💛 Share your faith
💛 Pray together

When we reinforce these truths at home, they take root in their hearts.

“Therefore encourage one another with these words.”
1 Thessalonians 4:18

For years he’s loved our kids, cheered at VBS, shared Jesus with big smiles and hugs, and shown us what a shepherd’s heart looks like.

Pastor Craig, thank you for pointing us to Jesus, loving the next generation, and serving so faithfully.

We’re cheering you on for this new adventure - family time, rest, and more ways God will use you! 🎉🙌

“Well done, good and faithful servant!”

Here’s what we learned today:

“My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Ask your kids:
-How will Jesus return?
-Why does Jesus have to return?
-When will He return?
