Exciting things Happening with the River kids!

So I thought I would tell you guys about an exciting thing that is happening through out the River kids ministries! The River Trippers have started a reward system where if they bring their bible, bring a friend, bring tithe, and/or memorize there memory verse for the week they get a sticker for each one they do each week! Each time a child gets 10 stickers they get to pick an area of the church they would like to serve in. One of the areas is children's ministry which would mean the younger kids! Last week we had Grace Kline come and help in The Spring as well as in The Brook she loved it and the kids loved her! We are looking forward to seeing more of our older river kids coming and serving in our younger classes as well as other areas of the church! The River Trippers are working hard to earn their stickers and really do enjoy serving so when you see a river kid serving in our church make sure to give them a high five and tell them what an amazing job they are doing! It is so awesome to watch our kids serve Jesus and our church family!

Meet Your River Guide!

Hi my name is Jinny MacDonald and I am the River Guide for The Spring and The Brook. I have worked in children's ministry at this church for over 10 years and love every minute of it! I have had a huge heart for kids ever since I was a little girl! I have always wanted a big family of my own and pray one day I will. I know that God has big callings on each of your kids lives and I am so honored that I get to be a part of the amazing plans God has for them. It is such a joy to see each cute little face come into The Spring and The Brook classes ready for another day at church! I was raised in a christian home by two amazing parents who taught me the love of Jesus Christ. My goal for all these classes is to be able to show your kids what the love of Jesus Christ looks like. Not just through me but through every teacher who has the privilege to teach each of your children! I am so excited to have the privilege to teach and work with each parent, teacher, and child who walks through the doors of The Spring and The Brook! I am a preschool teacher here in Durango and if you can't tell I love surrounding myself with kids! I am so excited to see what God has in store for the river kids ministries here at the river church! I love this age group because they are all so cute and snuggle. I over see the workers and schedule for this class if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me!
