Moving Up and Growing in Faith!
As the summer winds down, it’s time to move on up! Starting Aug. 13, children are invited to promote to the next grade level during Sunday school and ROCK. (Please click here for a map of the new rooms.) Grade level divisions are:
- Sunday School—Pre-K, potty-trained 3-5 year olds (Von Bora room)
- Sunday School—Kindergarten to Second Grade (Spurgeon room)
- Sunday School—Third to Fifth Grade (Perpetua room)
- ROCK—Pre-K, potty-trained 3-5 year olds (Von Bora room)
- ROCK—Kindergarten to Third Grade (Spurgeon room)
The Children’s ministry team—Jane O’Dowd and Betty Ballough—will be in the hallway between both services on Sunday to make sure all kids get into the correct classroom.
New Communicants Class!
Does your child profess faith? If so, they may be ready to take the step towards becoming full communing members at River Oaks.
River Oaks will be offering a Communicants Class during the Sunday school time (10:15-10:45 am) on August 6,13, 20 and 27 in Pastor Camera’s office. For more info, please visit the web post here.
The Gospel Project: Unit 14
This month, we’ll continue unit 14 from The Gospel Project to answer the question: What is repentance? This unit explores how, “Repentance is turning away from sin and turning to Jesus.” (Gospel Project, Unit 14)
Lessons this month include:
- August 6, 2023: Zephaniah warned God’s people to repent. (Zephaniah) – FAMILY SUNDAY (All families are encouraged to worship together at the 11 am service.)
- August 13, 2023: We are to repent of sin. (Matthew 3)
- August 20, 2023: Jonah Warned of God’s Judgment (Jonah)
- August 27, 2023: Nahum Warned of God’s Judgment (Nahum)
Memory verse for August: This unit’s verse is Acts 3:19, “Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out.”
All families are encouraged to pick up a Unit Overview on the table in the children’s ministry hallway!
