WHAT WE ARE TEACHING IN NOVEMBER

"Unsung Heroes"

A Teaching Series from the Old Testament on Ruth

Superheroes aren't heroic only when they feel like it — they're brave each and every day. The best heroes can even inspire the people around them to be brave, faithful, and hopeful in their own lives, too. In this teaching series, kids will learn more about what it looks like to see God as the hero of our story as they hear the story of Ruth and Naomi. They'll see how God gives them companions, opportunities, boldness, and hope!

  • NovemBER PHILANTHROPY:

    operation christmas child

    Samaritan’s Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan’s Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God’s love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.


    The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to demonstrate God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world. Through this project, Samaritan’s Purse partners with the local church worldwide to share the Good News of Jesus Christ and make disciples of the nations.


    Our RHL Community is partnering with Samaritan's Purse by building and collecting shoeboxes.  Each box packed full of quality toys, school supplies, and personal care items becomes a tangible expression of God's immense love for the child. For many, it is their first gift ever! These shoebox gifts provide an opportunity to present the Gospel to boys and girls in a clear, child-friendly way. All chapel offerings this month will also go to Operation Christmas Child.

  • 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.
