The River

Sundays - 10:45 a.m.

The River is church for people who don't go to church . . . or who have not been to church for a while.  Here's what you'll find when you come:

• River's Edge, our celebration band and singers . . . featuring some of the latest praise and worship music available

• Sing along or just listen, if you prefer

• Not a lot of guilt-talk or finger-pointing—uplifting talks in everyday language that apply spiritual truth to daily living

• Free childcare for babies through grade 3

• No dress code—come dressed however is comfortable for you

• A special gift for each of our guests . . . and we always ask guests not  to contribute to the offering

The name The River comes from the Bible.  Jesus said,

“If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. 
Rivers of living water will brim
and spill out of the depths
of anyone who believes in me this way,
just as the Scripture says”
(John 7:37-38, The Message).

Jesus himself is "the living water" who brings refreshment to our lives.  He is the one who forgives, who heals, and who leads us in daily living.  We've discovered a special relationship with him, and we hope you'll discover that relationship too!

So jump into The River.  Join us any Sunday at 10:45 a.m.  Or, if you prefer a more traditional celebration, come at 8:30 a.m. when we sing traditional hymns and a few praise choruses. At both celebrations you hear the same great message: the good news of life in Jesus!

 We'd love to get to know you. See you soon!
