The River Church Community

Hello River People!

New President, same old weekly email.

Angela is on vacation, but she wanted me to pass on information about the upcoming Lentent retreat.  The retreat is a contemplative retreat and will be held Fri-Sat 2/27-28 at Presentation Center.  For more information and to RSVP, go to the event page.

The Small Group staff and coaches had a great "summit" meeting together on Saturday.  All of us felt a new sense of inspiration and common purpose.  There are still many practical things to work out, but it was a blessing to have time set apart to share our hearts and hopes with each other.

The students had a great lock-in at the ministry center on Friday night.  Much wholesome fun was had by all including the festive "welcome-back" decoration of a home.

Check out the website for the latest FLOW video which features Julie Priest's service to a local Iraqi family.
