December 21, by Emma Gunther, Will Walker and Jack Raynor

Scripture
Matthew 1:18a
"Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way....."

Jack Raynor, 3 years old
"Jesus was born on a farm."

Thats how it happened! Our Children reflected Sunday on What Christmas means......

Will Walker, 5 years old
"Christmas means Jesus.
Thats his birthday.
He is a very special man.
Jesus helps us and made the world."

When Emma Gunther, 3 years old, was asked.....she broke into song:
Jesus had a birthday
just like you and me
He had a lot of presents
and a party too!
For a birthday candle, God gave him a star
Singing..........Happy birthday Jesus!

Maybe it is all that simple!

Jack Raynor loves to play with his friends at RPDS and loves his teacher Ms. McNeil. Jack loved his recent vacation with his mom- Erin, Dad- Jeremy and his little brother Evan.

Will Walker has been a member of Riverside since he was born! He and his friend Shep Tise love to play hard at everything including soccer. Will and his brother Ryan, enjoy hanging out with their parents Vance and Allison Walker.

Emma Gunther loves ballet. She loves coming to logos on Wednesdays, especially since it is in the same place where she goes to school during the day and when she comes to church on sunday. Emma still lives with her parents, Nydia and Erik Gunther.
