You'll find plenty of action at Riverside.  Each day your children will be a part of fun Bible learning they can see, hear, touch and even taste!  Bible Point crafts, team-building games, lively bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the Scuba activities that help kids catch on about God's love.  As they learn about Elijah, Jonah, and stories about Jesus and his followers, children will also enjoy hands-on bible adventures.  Your kids will even participate in a hands-on mission project.

This super cool Undersea Bible adventure is great fun for children of all ages; even teenagers will enjoy signing on as Scuba Crew Leaders who help younger children.  And parents, grandparents, and friends are invited to join us each day at: 12:00PM (noon) because that's when we will be having Undersea Scuba Finale-a daily celebration of God's love you won't want to miss.  The cost is only $5.00 for the whole week.  What an awesome price for one week of fun and excitement for your children.

So mark these dates on your calendar: August 18-22.  The scuba adventures  starts at 9AM and will end at 12noon.  Call 283-9752 to register your children for this awesome Bible-learning adventure!
