…helping people know God better and love him more!

Children's Ministries

At Blue Ridge we truly believe that children are a blessing! Our family friendly emphasis is one of the reasons that we have so many children who love calling Blue Ridge home.

Your kids will love our age oriented Bible classes on Sunday morning, our AWANA program on Sunday Night, participating in one of our many activities, or being part of our Children's Choir.

Come and be a part of something that is not only changing lives, it is changing the future!

AWANA 2010-2011

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2010 | By Rich Shipe | Posted in AWANA, Announcements, Calendar, Children, Get Involved, Youth | No Comments »

The 2010/2011 year begins on Sunday, September 12th! Registration begins at 5:30 pm. Our registration costs have not changed in several years. Dues are $25 per clubber with additional costs for supplies. This cost covers the ENTIRE year! We meet for a total of 29 weeks so it is less than a dollar per week to train your child to know God better and love Him more.

Our leader training will take place on Sunday, August 29th from 7 to 9 pm for Sparks/Cubbie Leaders and Friday, September 10th from 7 to 9 pm for T&T/Trek Leaders. If you are feeling the Lord tugging at your heart to participate in this dynamic ministry which reaches boys and girls with the Gospel of Christ and trains them to serve Him, please contact Earl & Geni Hall (earl@phc.edu, genihall@aol.com).

We also have an opportunity for youth to lead. Leaders-in-Training is for clubbers age 14 to 18. We have an LIT program that trains tomorrow’s leaders today. Each week, the LIT’s get practical training working as a leader and modeling their Christian walk to younger clubbers. In addition, the LIT’s are required to complete the 24/7 Bible curriculum which helps keep the LIT’s grounded in prayer, Bible memorization and scripture reading. This is an excellent program for the older teens who feel called to lead the next generation in their spiritual training. Attendance at the Leader’s Training meeting on August 29 or September 10 is required.

Songs for Fall 2010

Sunday, July 25th, 2010 | By Christy Shipe | Posted in About Us, Children's Choir, Youth | No Comments »

For the fall, we will be working on three songs from the Young Musicians 4.2 album. We will be working on the following songs:

1. He is the One
2. There is No Greater Joy
8. Come Let Us Worship

These songs are available for purchase on iTunes for $0.99 each. I will not be purchasing CDs and songbooks at this time, so if you’d like to listen to the songs at home, you can do so by purchasing them from iTunes.

I’m looking forward to a great year of praise!

Kids and Sermon Notes

Monday, January 4th, 2010 | By Rich Shipe | Posted in Blog, Children, From Rich, Get Involved, Resources, Youth | 2 Comments »

I was recently inspired by an article I read by a well-known pastor and his wife on parenting and the Sunday morning church service. In the article, they shared a vision for making the Sunday morning service meaningful for children rather than just an experience to be endured. They gave many practical tips to help parents mentor their children into a richer understanding of the service.

One of the ideas they shared was for parents to encourage their children  to  take notes during  the sermon.  My  first  thought was how hard  this would be  for my kids  (who are ages seven, nine, and ten) because it’s hard enough for me! But I decided to give it a  try.  I  gave  them  some basic  instructions  and  encouragement and we tried it out. Read the rest of this entry »
