Dear River of Life Family and Friends,

Greetings from River of Life in South Hill, VA!

We are so grateful for all that God is doing in and through our church. Even as January and February brought snow and some unexpected challenges, the Lord has been faithful every step of the way. Through weather delays and winter obstacles, God has sustained us, strengthened us, and continued to move in powerful ways. We truly serve a faithful God!

One of the greatest blessings we are seeing right now is growth. Our church family is growing, and we are thankful for every new face, every new family, and every life being touched by the Gospel. There is a renewed sense of excitement and purpose as we step into this season together.

We have also launched a new sermon series titled “Redeeming Your Time.” This series has been both challenging and encouraging as we learn how to steward our days, priorities, and calling in a way that honors Christ. The conversations and testimonies coming out of this series have been incredibly impactful.

Looking ahead, we have so many incredible events planned in the coming months. From outreach opportunities to ministry development, there is so much to be excited about. We believe God is positioning River of Life for a powerful season of impact in our community.

One area we are especially passionate about right now is the revamping of our children’s ministry. We are working diligently to shape our Sunday mornings into the vibrant, Christ-centered experience we envision. Once our Sunday morning ministry is fully where we want it to be, we will be launching a Thursday night children’s ministry, which will also include our pre-teens and teens.

Our heart is not only to minister to children, but to disciple our pre-teens and teens into strong followers of Jesus. They will be trained to serve, including learning how to run children’s ministry media. Our long-term vision is to see these young leaders helping to run our Sunday morning services — assisting with lights, sound, and live streaming — developing both spiritual maturity and practical ministry skills.

As we continue to grow and expand, we recognize how vital partnership is. We are prayerfully asking for people both within our church and outside our fellowship to partner with us:

• Through faithful prayer
• Through regular monthly giving
• Through one-time gifts toward special ministry projects

Your partnership makes a tangible difference in what we are able to accomplish for the Kingdom of God here in South Hill.

With gratitude and expectation,
