Riverdale Baptist Church

Japanese Ministry

Dear Church Family,

The Japanese Ministry had 3 activities in June.  We had 20 people go to the Fire Station on June 3rd.  We had 13 people join our Friday Bible Study Class on June 11th and 10 people join our Sunday Bible Study Class on June 13th.  I appreciate Mrs. Brenda Sledge and Mrs. Beth Dunkerson for taking care of the children during our class times.

Most of the Japanese families will either go back to Japan or travel around the USA during the 4th of July holiday.  Please pray for their safety as they travel.  We will have 2 Bible Study classes in July.  Our Sunday Class will meet on July 25th and we'll study, "What Do Jehovah Witnesses Believe?".  Our Friday class will meet on July 30th and we'll study, "Ruth".

Thanks for making the Japanese community welcome at Riverdale Baptist Church.

In Christ,

Ava Montgomery

Other activities:

English Conversation Day:
English Conversation Day meets once a month.  It is held at the Bible Study teacher’s house.  She will teach you how to cook an American recipe.  She will help you with your English.  You don’t have to speak English well!  It is a very relaxed atmosphere and a good place to practice your English.  Preschool children are welcome to attend.

Christmas Party:
We have a Christmas Party at the teacher’s house in December.  You and your family are welcome to come see an American house that is decorated for Christmas.

Play Days for Children:
Play Days for Children are held at the Indian Hills Neighborhood playground.  We usually have a short Bible Story time, a short craft time, and a long play time.

Easter Party:
We have an Easter party for ladies and children in the spring.  We decorate Easter eggs and have an Easter Egg Hunt.  We have a short story time about the true meaning of Easter.

Tennis for ladies:
We try to play tennis once a week on a weekday morning at the Indian Hills Tennis Courts.  It’s okay if you are a beginner.  We aren’t too serious about our tennis.  We just have a good time while we get some exercise.  We have extra tennis rackets and balls that you can borrow.  Just bring some ice water and join us!

We hope you will join us for the Bible Study classes or the other activities.  You and your family are welcome any time.
