Wade Deeper into the Presence of God
Jesus came "that they may have life, and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). What is abundant life? It is heaven on earth, which begins when God's amazing love is poured out on us. Life becomes better, the joys becoming greater and the pain becoming easier to bear, because we know that we are loved. God's love fills us so much that it spills out like a river pouring over it's banks and we can't help but share it with the people who need it most- the poor, the sick, the broken.
God loves us, and then heals our broken world through us. That is heaven on earth.
Worship is a great place to start experiencing heaven on earth. We encounter the living God, giving thanks and praise and letting God touch and change our hearts. Every week there are snacks and coffee after worship to help you make friends. Prayer and bible study are two other great ways to connect "Up" to God.
The first Sunday of the month is Service First, when everyone in The River goes out to serve those in our community. Absolutely anyone is welcome. Service is crucial to having an abundant life, in which we love and serve the hurting world around us on God's behalf.
Once a month on the Second Sunday everyone in The River gathers for a meal. It is a time to get to know others and enjoy "extended family." Being part of a faith family is a critical part of an abundant life.
If you are new to The River, welcome! You can visit our Calendar page to find out when and where to start exploring. If you are thinking The River might be the church for you, we invite you to participate in worship, Service First or Second Sunday. Once you have been involved for awhile, consider our biannual Bridge Bible Study, which can help you discover some of the other ways God may be calling you to participate in The River.
Other groups use The River's building for their events, and anyone is welcome to come to these. You can read more about them here, and they are listed at the bottom of our Calendar page.
