Children's Sunday - June 1st


Periodically the church where we are attending (Faith Baptist Church in Riverside) has the Junior Church classes present what they have learned to the congregation. All three of our kids were in the youngest class and enjoyed singing songs and saying a Bible verse with their friends.

Sophie is part of the team of teachers for the second class of children, up to age 9. Their class attendance varies greatly, but the children are usually attentive and quick to learn the Biblical truths taught. This past Sunday, we had a problem with our class. We ran out of chairs! A good problem to have. We had 42 children in our class! Currently we are working on memorizing the books of the New Testament, not just to recite them for the parents, but so the kids can use the Bible better to share it with their friends and to read it for themselves. Joshua recently moved up to this class. Caleb will also, though he still enjoys being with his younger friends.
