It is personally rewarding to be involved in
Riverview Children’s Ministry.
I enjoyed teaching and having input into the faith
journey of children over a 10 year period as a Kids
Church leader. Then the following 23 years on
the Riverview Kids Welcome Hub has provided
opportunity to welcome and engage with children
and parents at the start of a service. With new
people it is important to answer questions and
explain our ministry environment.
For me, joy comes from conversations with
children, parents, and team members. The
longstanding friendships and connections I have
made are important as we get to share the ‘ups
and downs’ of life and provide encouragement to
each other. These conversations are often fun, and
they strengthen my faith.

I have been serving at Riverview Church on and
off since my boys were babies! They’re now
grown men – so, longer than I can remember
really! My current area of service is on the Kids
Church Welcome Team where we help parents
register their kids.
I am a fairly ordered and organised person
(probably due to my nursing background!) and I
enjoy children. I see the people I serve with as my
Church family, and I feel I am contributing to the
general community of Riverview.
I look forward to seeing everyone each time I
am serving. Over the past year, my volunteering
has been one of a number of ‘constants’ in a
time of having to deal with very upturned life
circumstances.
