WHAT WE ARE TEACHING IN JULY

"Imagine That"

A Teaching Series from 2 Kings on Elisha

In this teaching series, kids will hear about some of the amazing things God did through Elisha to make a difference in the lives of His people. They'll see that God cares about all our needs, that God uses His servants to be a mediator of blessing, that God helps us solve big problems, and that God chooses particular situations to demonstrate His power. By the end, kids will see that through God’s amazing power, He provides blessings for His people through those that love and serve Him.

    fishing kits through world vision

    This summer we are partnering with World Vision to raise money for family fishing kits. Fish are a wonderful source of nutrition for hungry kids — but families don’t always have the resources to catch them. A $50 family fishing kit provides tools like nets, lines, hooks, poles, and a basket to help hungry families eat well. By catching extra fish to sell, they can pay for other expenses like clothing, school fees, and medicine. During Red Hill’s VBS, kids learned all about the "miracle of fish" in Luke 5. Through the generosity of these kids, their families, and our June 12th Wahoo’s fundraiser, we collected more than $2,600, which will provide 52 fishing kits to assist families in need. Red Hill Lutheran Church and School will continue to collect funds for these fishing kits all summer long. Our Red Hill community is invited to join us in this effort to provide for as many families as we can through the purchase of these fishing kits. For more information, contact Beth Stoffregen.

  • GOD MADE ME FOR WORSHIP

    Understanding the different parts of a worship service can be confusing. One minute everyone is singing loudly, the next everyone is sitting and listening quietly. Sometimes the adults know something that should be said out loud like, “Thanks be to God!” How did they know what to say? What is communion all about? Why does the pastor raise his hands and pray at the end of the service?


    This bright and colorful children’s book celebrates how God reveals Himself to His people in the movements of worship. All the parts of worship tell the story of the gospel, and since Jesus is the object of our worship, His story of redemption gives shape to our worship. The author of this book guides parents to help their kids understand why we’re intentional about worship, encouraging them to engage—not just to manage behavior during a worship gathering, and invites children to respond to God along with the whole church body.
