December Memory Verse


For December, our memory verse is Luke 1:32 ESV "He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, "




Practice this at home and when you have it memorize, be sure to tell Mrs. Camille!!

RBC Kids T-Shirts

We are getting new RBC Kids T-shirts for our RBC Kids Team Members and they are available to purchase for you and your kids!! We have not had children's ministry specific t-shirts in the three years I have served at RBC, so now is the time!


Pictured to the right is the mock-up of the shirt color and logo position.


T-shirts are $7 each and sizes range from 2T to Adult 3x. This is a pre-shrunk fabric, and typically runs true to size, though it does shrink just a little after washing. This is only available for a limited time, orders will close This Friday, December 5th at Noon. Order HERE.


Christmas Photo Spot


We have a fun Christmas backdrop just waiting for your family to take a picture! Be sure to stop be the welcome area in the kids' wing and get a group photo before Christmas!!

Clothing/Coat/Shoe Drive

Go ahead and make space in your closets for all the new clothing/shoes you and your children will receive this Christmas and help us give them to those in need. This is a great way to help get your child involved in serving others: have them help select the clothing items they have grown out of or do not like to wear as much.

Living Nativity

The 2025 Living Nativity is just under two weeks away!  This is a longstanding tradition of RBC and is one of the great ways we get to celebrate Jesus and share the message of the gospel with our community.


This event requires many hands to make it happen, most importantly the actors and actresses.


I’m asking you to go ahead and make sure that this event is on your calendar and begin talking to your kids about which roles they may like to play. We have roles from angels and shepherds to Mary and Joseph, from the inn keeper to Herod and the Wise Men.


This also means that we need some of you to be our actors.

None of these parts are speaking parts.


We will have a rehearsal/walk through prior to the actual production. After rehearsal we will feed the kids and then get them dressed in their costumes. 


If acting isn’t your thing there are plenty of other ways to help as well. Our Property Committee will be getting the stable set up, our a/v crew will need help pulling cords and cables, and we will need help with the animals. 


Please email Chase or Camille if you have any questions and how you would like to help in this community outreach and celebration of Christmas.


CentriKid Camp 2026

Camp is right around the corner! To reserve your child's spot for CentriKid 2026, scan the QR Code or click HERE. Spots are limited and once we are out of spots, we will not be getting more. You don't want to miss this amazing week of bonding, fellowship, worship, silliness, and more! Registration and Deposit deadline is January 25th.

RBC Kids Goals

Click the corresponding button below to download a copy of your child's grade specific goals or select all goals to see if there are any for them to catch up on!

RBC Kids Goals: a way to partner with us in discipling your children. As we move into this new year, I want to share with you some of the goals we have for your children.These goals correspond to their age/grade and list the things we hope your kids learn, know, and can do before they move into the youth group in 6th grade. This list is by no means exhaustive, and you can find these items and more listed in the Bible Skills for Kids booklet that everyone received at the end of year celebration or child dedication. If you do not have your copy, or would like a new one, please email me or stop by my office.


An exciting part of these goals: Backpack Charms! Each child will receive a corresponding backpack charm for each goal completed and verse memorized. They can add these to their backpack tags!
