Raising teenagers can be expensive and time consuming, but you don't have to face the challenges alone. At PowerLine Youth Ministries we love working alongside parents to help raise their children into the productive and unique individuals God created them to be.

Marriage Advice
Here is a little something to get you ready for the Marriage Series being offered in June in the Adult Elective Sunday School Class. See ya June 22, 9am sharp!

June- the marriage month
June is a time for weddings and this year it will also be a great time to examine the commitments that are made when we decide to become "one flesh". I am going to start a series in our Adult Elective Sunday School Class on June 22 for anyone who is hoping to get married, has been married, is still married- anyone!
This series is not for newlyweds alone. And I want you to know that the video portions are really fun and inspiring. You will love it!

Who are your Heroes?
We just started a series in PowerLine on Heroes. I was happy to hear that many of our teens look up to people like: Parents, grandparents, teachers and coaches. In the world we live in quality role models can be hard to find. We may admire someones skills, abilities or accomplishments, but that does not make them worthy to be called a hero. In the video below, you will see what makes a true Hero.

Spring is here
Spring is finally here!!
It was a relatively mild winter as far as snow was concerned, but I love the Springtime.
Spring means several things in the Rivera house.
1. Youth Convention.
This year was a great year. We had our largest group ever, 63. That meant more hotel rooms (15), more transportation (a charter bus and a van) and more opportunities for God to touch lives and He did. In addition to that, our Youth Worship team qualified for Nationals in Fine Arts and Tim Steffel also qualified in the Graphic design and Digital Photo categories. I am extremely proud of all our FA entries. They have talent, but they also have a heart to minister and that is a powerful combination.
2. Baseball Season
My boys love baseball (so does dad). There's nothing like going outside with them and having a catch or hitting some balls on a warm, sunny day. Both boys are now in the majors at their little league and for the first time since T-ball, they are on the same team. For those of you who think that's not a big deal, it is. That means only one game schedule to worry about, one practice time to remember. and no more spending an entire Saturday at the field because their games are back to back. This is especially exciting, because Benjamin made the Middle School team at his school. He is one of only 2 sixth graders to make it. They won their first game 19-0. He started in left field, had 2 at bats (one walk and a single) one run scored and 2 RBI's.
He is well on his way to playing for the NY Yankees and settling any ?'s about my retirement fund. Joshua is a little younger with less experience, but he has a cannon for an arm and the fact that he is a southpaw will also make him a desirable addition to the Yanks some day.
3.Getting outside
We love the outdoors. Alexa has been out picking any little flower or bloom she can find, Kristi has pulled her swing out of storage and loves to take the little ones in the yard for some sun and fresh air. I enjoy grilling and it more fun to do it now than in January (Yes, I grill stuff all year long). The extra nice thing this year is that we have a fenced in yard, for the first time since we moved in, to keep the kids corralled. It was hard work getting it up last fall, but with the help of my brother-in-law, my dad and the boys, we got it done.
Well I gotta go for now, it's supposed to be a nice day and I don't want to miss any more of it sitting at a computer
