We ❤️ Mrs. Lynch! ☺️

On Sunday, we honored 𝗠𝗿𝘀. 𝗝𝗼𝗮𝗻 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵 for her 𝟱𝟬+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 at RBC.

During that time, the world has changed from…
8-track tapes to Spotify.
Rotary phones to FaceTime.
Encyclopedias to Google.
VHS tapes to Netflix.
Handwritten letters to texting with emojis.
Maps in the glove compartment to GPS in your pocket.
Saturday morning cartoons to YouTube.
Pay phones to phones that can do practically everything except stay charged.
Waiting for film to be developed to taking 47 pictures before choosing one.
Dial-up internet to Wi-Fi everywhere.
“Be home before dark” to parents tracking their kids on their phones.
The original Star Wars to an entire Star Wars universe.

But through it all, one thing has never changed: 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.

𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗱𝗲𝘀, Mrs. Lynch has welcomed generations of little ones with a smile, a Bible story, a craft, and of course, a healthy snack, week in and week out.

She has taught children who became parents… and then taught their children. ❤️

She has celebrated birthdays, comforted tears, answered a million kindergarten questions, and somehow made sitting still for a Bible lesson seem almost possible.

But her greatest legacy isn't measured in years.
𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀.

Generation after generation has heard about Jesus because one faithful woman kept showing up—Sunday after Sunday, year after year—to plant seeds of faith in little hearts.

𝟱𝟬+ 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀. 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻. 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗕𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀. 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗳𝘂𝗹 “𝘆𝗲𝘀” 𝘁𝗼 𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘂𝘀.

We are so grateful for you, 𝗠𝗿𝘀. 𝗟𝘆𝗻𝗰𝗵! Thank you for loving our children, serving our church, and reminding us that no matter how much the world changes, Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Hey Families! Sunday is a BIG DAY for RidgeKids!

Level Up Sunday aka Promotion Sunday!

Sunday, August 9, is a big day for all of our kids from nursery to youth. Some will move to a different room and have new Bible Study teachers, and some may stay where they are, but “new friends” will join their class.

Level Up Sunday most directly affects children who are:

Promoting Out of the Nursery—Children who are/will be 4 years old by September 1, 2026, will literally MOVE UP (as in upstairs) from the Nursery to the RidgeKids area. They will have fabulous Bible study teachers during the 9:15 hour, and then join us for KidsWorship at 10:30. This is a time of age-appropriate instruction for our Pre-K through 2nd grade students. We sing, hear Bible teaching, and engage with Scripture using games, crafts, and hands-on learning. Parents will still “check-in” using the iPads either downstairs, or upstairs. Bible Study teachers and Kids’ Worship Leaders transition the children, so parents need not worry about picking them up and dropping them off in between Sunday school and Worship.

Another component of the Pre-K transition from the nursery to the Children’s area is Family Sunday. The last Sunday of each month is an opportunity for the entire family to worship together at the 10:30 hour, so your Pre-K child will begin joining you in the worship service. Don’t panic! We provide a children’s bulletin with crayons and activities designed to help your child during the service. We believe strongly that Family Worship gives parents an opportunity to model for their children what it looks like to be a Christ follower engaging in corporate worship.

Promoting to a New Sunday School Class— Kids going into Kindergarten, 1st Grade, 3rd Grade, and 5th Grade will all “level up” to a new Sunday School class. If your family isn’t currently participating in our 9:15 Bible study hour, now is a great time to get plugged in! Our curriculum takes us through the Bible in chronological order and corresponds to the adult Bible study.

Promoting Out of Kids’ Worship—The next group experiencing big changes on Promotion Day will be our new 3rd graders, who will “graduate” from KidsWorship and begin joining their parents/family weekly during the service. Don’t panic! We provide Pre-Teen Sermon Notes pages to help direct the children’s attention and focus on what the Lord is saying.

Promoting Out of the Children’s Ministry—New 7th graders will be taking a BIG STEP from the RidgeKids’ Ministry to The Ridge Student Ministry. Many have been looking forward to this for a long time! Parents, be sure to follow The Ridge’s social pages so you can keep up with what’s happening… because you know your teen isn’t going to tell you until the night before!

We are excited to kick off this new year of growing, serving and going together!s

Shout out to Mr. Dustin, “Today’s Starting Sponsor”. He was nominated by one of our students who said, “Mr. Dustin helped me with my doubts at Bible study. He said, ‘No one left behind!’ Mr. Dustin took me to the restroom every time I needed to go (which is a lot!) He is the best sponsor ever!!”
Way to go, Mr. Dustin! 👏👏👏
