ADVICE FROM SUCCESSFUL DADS
by Dr. Ed Carney, Senior Pastor
HE HAD COME TO ASK for his daughter’s hand
in marriage. The prospective father-in-law
asked, "Young man, can you support a
family?" The nervous and surprised
groom-to-be answered "Well, no, sir.
I was just planning to support your
daughter. The rest of you will have
to fend for yourselves!"
I remember “that day” when I asked
Susan’s dad for his permission to marry his daughter. He
had some questions too, but I hope my answers were better
(I don’t remember, I was nervous too). He certainly gave me
some brief but profound advice that I’ve followed through
the years.

This summer, Vacation Bible School kids at RHBC
will take a thrilling ride across the land down under.
As they wind their way across Australia, they’ll
discover that no matter where they go or what
they do in life – it all comes back to Jesus!
Vacation Bible School begins Monday, June 15 through
Friday, June 19, from 9 a.m. to noon for children born before
September 1, 2004 through those who have completed 5th grade.
Register online now at riverlandhills.org
Fight Like A Girl
Grades 6 - 12, Friday, June 19. 5:00 p.m. –
Saturday, June 20, 8:00 a.m. Cost: $15
(covers t-shirt, supper, and breakfast)
Meet in the Attic to begin this fun-filled night. We will be hosting the
self-defense session in the Gym, with a sleepover in The Attic to follow!
Money and registration reserves your spot. Registration forms will be
available at YBF or in the Church Office. Sign up by Monday, June 15.
Grades 6 – 9, bring a 2-liter drink to share.
Grades 10 -12, bring a salty or sweet snack to share.
Every year in our country, almost 400,000 women
are raped and/or abused. If you are a woman/girl,
you are at risk. This self-defense session will reduce
that risk, and it will enable you to be prepared,
trained, and aware of what to do in an attack. Dr.
Carney, a black belt in Gojuru and Kempo Karate,
has done much research on self-defense and will
be leading this session with his pupils to provide
an effective, fun, and empowering session for girls
of all ages. This session will give women the power
to take control of their circumstances and teach
them what to do and say in times of crisis.
Registration Form
I understand that a serious topic will be discussed, therefore I permit my daughter
________________________ to attend the sleepover and self-defense session on June 19 -20.
(Please print daughter’s name.)
