RHL K.I.D.S. MINISTRY

Red Hill Lutheran Church offers a K.I.D.S. Ministry Program for all children, Kindergarten through 5th Grade, during our DiscipleU Educational Hour, 9:00am-10:15am in the K.I.D.S. Zone.


Using a combination of large group and small group conversations and activities, we intentionally strive to create an engaging environment where children come to Know Jesus, Impact the world around them, become Disciples of Jesus, and Serve others - K.I.D.S.! All kids are invited to join us, regardless of church affiliation.

WHAT WE ARE TEACHING IN JULY

"TURN IT UP": A TEACHING SERIES FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT ON DAVID

What do you do when you hear your favorite song? Turn it up, of course! While we might love blasting our favorite music, we can also learn how to turn up God’s voice in our lives. In this teaching series, kids will follow some key moments in the life of David, the famous musician, poet, and king, and they’ll learn about some of the ways David trusted God during some difficult times in his life. Through each story, we’ll learn God is with us when we feel weak, God helps us overcome big things, God comforts us when we’re afraid, and God helps us live in harmony.


We look forward to all of the kids joining us this summer during our Sunday morning DiscpleU Educational Hour, 9:15am-10:00am. (Check-In Begins at 9:00am)

  • VBS Mission project and SUMMER PHILANTHROPY:

    wycliffe bible translators and THE TERHUNE FAMILY

    (RED HILL LUTHERAN CHURCH MISSIONARIES)

    For over 75 years, Wycliffe has helped people around the world translate the Bible into their own languages. Wycliffe also helps with language development, literacy, and other spiritual and physical needs. Due to the high demand in Papua New Guinea for audio Bible players, Red Hill Lutheran Church and School’s Vacation Bible School (VBS) is partnering with Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Terhune family (Red Hill Lutheran Church's missionaries) to raise money for these much needed $30 solar-powered units, which also include a flashlight. This initiative will carry on throughout the summer. Contact Beth Stoffregen if you would like more information on this Summer Mission Project.

  • FAMILY RESOURCE: "GOD MADE ME FOR WORSHIP"

    We love seeing our famiies worshipping together! In an effort to encourage, support and partner with our families, we are providing a book called, "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.
