Garden Buds - Grades 4th - 5th

The upper elementary age bracket of the Garden is made up of 4th-5th grade students, and is called the Garden Buds. Haley Watkins is the director of this area (haley@riverstonewf.org ). The Garden Buds room is located upstairs next to the Garden Sprouts room.

The Garden Buds come together each week for celebration, where they have intimate worship with a live band and relevant Biblical teaching. After the large group celebration, The Buds gather in their cell groups, which are divided by grade and gender. Every week, the children are with the same committed shepherd, and during this time, they begin to apply the truths they have learned in celebration to their everyday experiences. The shepherds facilitate that using relevant games and fun activities. The Garden Buds also enjoy special activities that encourage Christian friendships and promote leadership development.
