After the Children’s Sermon during Worship, children may go to Sunday school in the church library with Anna E. Rosas, Youth Education & Outreach Assistant, and Josephine Gurri, Nursery Care Giver. Riviera is utilizing the Sunday school curriculum: Come Follow Me: Biblical Practices for Faithful Living from PC(USA).  This curriculum is based on practices Jesus did and taught us to do as faithful followers and the module used is for children and youth.

Each Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. Pastor Melanie Marsh and Anna Rosas read to the children who attend the Child Care Center adjacent to the church.  During reasonable weather, the group gathers in a shady spot outdoors to hear a new story.

A recent book read is: Black and White by Debora Vogrig. “Black and White are so different—how can they ever get along? White wants to explore the world, but Black would rather stay under the bed. Black is playful and creative; White wants everything neat and tidy. But when Black and White work together, they can go on the most amazing adventures.” Perfect for teaching colors and opposites, Black and White is an imaginative exploration of the joys of diversity. www.goodreads.com
