Welcome to our website!
In Genesis we are told of the great flood and the protection afforded by the ark. Today God continues to provide protection and love for us and our children. The church functions as an ark when we are cast by life on stormy seas. Just as the rainbow is a symbol of God's promise to mankind we must promise to lead our children along a path that leads to a relationship with God and His church so they may experience the peace, joy and hope of a Christian life.
Our Children's Ministry at Richmond Hill United Methodist Church is designed to provide a fun, safe, loving and educational environment.
We welcome Janine Blakeborough as our new part-time Director of Children's Ministries. Janine and her husband Russell are members of the church. Their children are Ella and Conner. Her routine office hours will be Monday and Wednesday mornings and staff meeting time on Tuesdays. Her office will be located just outside the front office in the main hallway. We look forward to the leadership and enthusiasm Janine will bring to this work. If you have any questions for Janine you can e-mail her at janine.blakeborough@gmail.com

Donations are needed for the 2nd-5th graders Children's Lounge. The Children's Program Council is putting together a lounge area for our 2nd-5th graders. Donations are needed for age appropriate games, books, puzzles and DVD's. We also need a TV, DVD and/or VCR player. Your help is most appreciated! Please drop off items at the church office anytime during the day. Thank you for supporting our children!
