Announcements

Have you heard about Riverside Rocks? If you have not been receiving mail about this, then contact the church office because we want to get you all the information. Riverside Rocks is our capital campaign to raise money to refurbish our sanctuary and hallways. Starting NOW we will be taking pledges and donations for this project. Our goal is to raise $65,000 by the middle of March 2024. We definitely want every person who considers himself a part of Riverside Church to be part of this campaign. For every $250 donation, we want you to take a rock from the front of the sanctuary. When your donation is paid off, we want you to bring the rock back and put it in one of the beds outside of the church building.

Operation Christmas Child

Operation Christmas Child is a way we can share the gospel with children all across the world and show God’s love for them. We will collect items for the shoeboxes through September and have a packing party in October. We need hygiene and WOW items! Information about what to pack/not pack can be found HERE or you can check out our Amazon wish list below. If you prefer, you can grab a shoebox from the lobby to fill and bring back. There is a $10 shipping cost if you would like to donate toward the shipping.

You are invited to a very special event, Riverside’s Operation Christmas Child Packing party! This is an opportunity to fill shoeboxes with uniquely special gifts for children all around the world! As the children open these treasures, we want them to catch a glimpse of God’s amazing love. Boys and girls will hear the Good News of the Gospel -many for the first time- as they receive their shoeboxes, and this special present will point them to God’s Greatest Gift, His Son Jesus Christ. We will also pray over these shoeboxes at this event, as this is the most important part! We hope you can make it and be a part of this wonderful mission!

Youth Spaghetti Dinner
