A Note from the Bransfords in Thailand
To our faithful supporters -
Thank you for your donations to our ministry! We are thankful for you and pray for you regularly. To show our thanks and to give you a visual of what you are supporting, we created a short video for you. It takes about 5 minutes to load, and it's a 3 min. 50 second video showing "What We Do." |

New Worship Director Hired
We are happy to announce that Ben Buckley has accepted the job of Worship Director at River. You'll be hearing more about Ben in the weeks to come, but for now we need to help Ben and his fiance Andie (they're getting married September 12) find a place to live. They're moving here from Olympia, Washington so a place with a mountain view would be nice. Seriously, they are looking to rent for a year or so before they buy and, as most newly married couples, they want to spend as little as possible on rent. Another possibility is if someone has a place the newlyweds can live for a few weeks while they look for an apartment themselves.They will be rolling into Prairieville on October 1. Email Dana ( dana@rivercommunity.org) if you can to help. |
