The River Church Community

Hello River,

I have quite the head cold.  Thank God for Puffs Plus.

Hope you had a good 4th!  This week is Kindness Silicon Valley!  It's not too late to join up with a project.  See the list of projects here and contact for more information.

This Sunday, Mark Phifer-Houseman will be speaking on corporate prayer.  As part of our response time after the message, we will be giving people the opportunity to pray in groups.  It's always a bit of a risk to pray with people you may not know very well - so you can even be praying that people would have courage this Sunday to pray together.  If you have questions, contact .

This Sunday there will also be a lunch seminar hosted by Krista-Dawn Kimsey on the Examen.  See the announcements below for more information or contact .

Reigstration is open for our All-Church Retreat - Riverfest Weekend 2009!

The Honduras and Peru ICE teams are back safely and the Nicaragua team is safely in country.

Peace,
Dave
