Why RRUUC?

My family started coming to River Road when our kids were not yet one and three. We came for the Religious Education program. Our kids learned about their bodies and how to communicate with them and how to keep them safe. They learned how to help people and the environment. They learned about people from all different walks of life. River Road was a safe place during middle school and high school, where they checked in with friends and built lasting relationships. They are now graduating from college, and I am thankful they had this grounding at River Road. ~ Joan
