When dating we looked for a church home together and 11 years ago we found Riverbend. One thing that drew us to this church was the children's department. Knowing we wanted to raise a family with a strong faith this was an important quality in a church. We did not know at the time that it would be 9 years down the road before we had a child attending the programs, but it has been well worth the wait.
At the end of the summer our church opened a brand new children's building, we have amazing children's ministers, and a big ministry of our church is children. Last night was a night of fun, fellowship, and family! As parents the Hallelujah Hoedown was incredible and we are thankful for the staff and volunteers that work endlessly planning, setting up, and working, to give our little family a night to remember!
Our little lion on his way to the petting zoo. We started here to warm up;David loves animals just like his Daddy! Our first stop was really to say hi to Dr. Haney, our senior pastor, David buried his head... he was not ready to ROAR like a Loin as we have been practicing.
Then David found a castle... hiding from Mommy and Daddy
some fancy moves on our way to more fun
next stop play scape

We Love our church! There was so much more, but it was bedtime for the King of our Jungle!
The cutest of David picture is the dancing video! Such rhythm and an ear for music. Oh, we noticed a stick in his hand - was he weed eating before the music and camera rolling?
