Our church’s RiverKidStuf got a great write-up in the Baton Rouge-area newspaper this past weekend, The Advocate. You can read it online at http://www.2theadvocate.com/features/29822044.html.

It’s exciting to see something that we’ve worked on get some good press! I especially love the line that describes RiverKidStuf, simply, as “innovative programming that also gets parents involved [and] children bring their parents” to learn. The show works on two levels so that both the children and the adults appreciate and understand the message.

The whole idea is that parents should be the primary spiritual influence in their kids’ lives, and the church can – and should – support that. Our church, River Community, and the many others that do a KidStuf production, do so to provide a shared experience for the whole family, to get kids and their parents on the same page, better able to talk about the same stuff. This is a great way to help parents, who may not be comfortable talking about spiritual things themselves, talk to their kids about God.

The Advocate’s write-up is definitely worth a read, if anyone’s interested in more info.
