River of Life

Sunday's coming, and we cannot wait to gather together with you! This Sunday, we will be focusing on discovering more about the Trinity, which is the Triune nature of God.

If you miss a Sunday, you can watch the sermon online. Sermon's are uploaded to our YouTube Channel the week after a sermon is preached. The sermon is available during the week through our Facebook Page for 30 days.

We've had a busy week so far. We had an incredible movie night with our community watching the movie, I Can Only Imagine. this movie helped us see how God is a God of restoration, and renewed hope. We enjoyed meeting a few new families from our community. This week, we also made some progress on a couple of long-term issues that have been discovered over the past several months.

The first is rain water has been pouring into the crawl space, we tried to fix this, and attempted to divert the water, but the rain water is still coming in. This may have slowed since our previous attempts to fix it, but we still have more to do to ensure this problem is fully stopped.

The second issue is a broken pipe that leads to the sewer, which has been dumping sewage under the parsonage. We have contacted a plumber who has looked at the problem, and is working hard to find a solution to fix the issue. We are praying the cost is not high for this fix , but no matter the cost, we are already thanking God, because we know God will provide the means.

Sunday, we have our first Student Night, and in a week we have our Vacation Bible School (VBS), which will begin. Next Sunday, we will grill hot dogs, and have a good time after service. Please bring a dessert to share! We also have Kids Camp and Teen Camp coming up. Please look below for our camps, and click on the link to preview cost, and register. There are full and partial scholarships available for those who need assistance, but you will need to complete the request form, which is found in the event information below in this newsletter.

Please keep praying for our members of our congregation who are not able to make it to church for health reasons, or because they are shut in. God is able to heal them. Please also continue to call, text, and pray for one another. If you need prayer, please contact Pastor Justin, or Pastor Beckah. We love to pray with you, and to be there to support you!

We look forward to seeing you Sunday!

Dear Beloved River of Life Family,

Grace and peace be multiplied to you through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord! As we continue our journey together as a vibrant community of faith, we are constantly in awe of God's faithfulness and the incredible work He is doing through our church. From impactful outreach programs to enriching worship experiences and vital ministries, your partnership makes it all possible.

As we look ahead to the exciting opportunities God is placing before us, we are reminded of the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, and the joy of generous giving. The Bible teaches us that cheerful giving is a blessing, not only to the recipient but also to the giver, as it reflects our trust in God's provision and our desire to advance His kingdom.

"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." – 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)

Your financial contributions are the lifeblood of River of Life. They enable us to maintain our facilities, support our dedicated staff, fund our children's and youth ministries, extend our reach through missions, and continue to be a beacon of hope and love in our community and beyond. Every gift, no matter the size, is a significant investment in eternal purposes.

"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine." – Proverbs 3:9-10 (NIV)

We are currently seeking financial contributions to help us continue and expand the vital work God has called us to do. Your generosity allows us to:

Fix facility issues, which have been uncovered.
Launch a new youth ministry program.
Promote our church through local community events with items to handout.
Purchase Bibles for people who are exploring faith in Jesus Christ.

We invite you to prayerfully consider how you can contribute to the ongoing ministry of River of Life. Whether it's a one-time gift or a recurring contribution, your partnership is deeply valued and makes a tangible difference.

"Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the Lord Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it." – Malachi 3:10 (NIV)

In His Grace,

The Leadership Team of River of Life

"And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." – 2 Corinthians 9:8 (NIV)
