Stewards of Children Training

Here is an opportunity to receive training from Greater Richmond SCAN.  

It is for this Sunday! Details Below:

Stewards of Children Training: City Church will host Stewards of Children Training, a nationally recognized sexual abuse prevention training that educates adults to prevent, recognize, and react responsibly to child sexual abuse. Typically, our mentality toward the idea of sexual abuse is, "it won't happen to my child, or anyone I know." We hope and pray that this is true, but, based on the statistic that 1 in 10 children will be sexually abused before they are 18, the reality is you will most likely know someone who was sexually abused at some point in their life, if you don't already. 

• Sunday, April 19th from 1:00pm-3:30pm in room 311 at Grace Covenant
• Conducted byGreater Richmond SCAN (Stop Child Abuse Now)
• All are welcome to attend--feel free to invite others outside of City Church.
• April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month
•  Greater Richmond SCAN is offering this training free of charge
• RSVP to Jennifer Murphy (jennifer@citychurchrva.com) by April 15th.

Easter/Spring Break

 The following video is DEFINITELY worth 5 minutes of your time to share with your children: Showing Kids how the Bible points to Jesus

Holy Week Box - I hope your family has been able to have discussion regarding Holy Week with the use of the box handed out on Sunday.  

The idea is from this blog: http://jmrockhill.blogspot.com/2014/04/holy-week.html

Kindergarten & 1st Grade Children's Worship Class! Love the PERSONALITIES!

 All Children's Worship classes (Preschool - 3rd Grade) will be making a Flowering Cross this Sunday during Children's Worship.  The Flowering Cross is a reminder to us that Jesus offers us new life, eternal life, because He died on the cross
