It won't be easy, but we'll celebrate God's call of our beloved Children's Ministry Director, Jamie Senyard, to a new ministry this Sunday, October 17 at 12:30 PM with a potluck picnic on the grounds.  Fried chicken and drinks will be provided.

 

Please bring

Go to www.RiverCommunity.org/bookstore for suggested reading on a number of topics. The recommendations range from bibles to bible studies to books on Christian living, including some great parenting resources.

From the Hopegivers website:

Last month, by God's grace, the children at Adi were provided with bunk beds. This was a true joy to the kids, as they had never slept on "real" beds before! It opened up a lot of space at the Hope Home, which is a great blessing. In addition, since the beds are lifted it allows plenty of storage for each child's possessions, much of which is stored in the Hope Chests they received last Christmas from the children at River Community Church, a huge part of the Adi family. Only appropriate is that the funds raised for these bunk beds came from the children of First Redeemer Church's 2010 VBS! Praise God for all that children do for the Kingdom and for reaching out to children, just like them, that are in need!
