SHOP RIVER OF LIFE APPAREL ONLINE
Our River of LIFE clothing store is now open! All orders and payments are handled online. There are short sleeve and long sleeve T-shirts, sweatshirts and quarter-zips available. The store will stay open through June 17. You can find a link for the store in the Helpful Links section on the River of LIFE website or in the app. We’ve received confirmation that orders will arrive by the 4th of July, so if you’re planning to be in the parade, you’ll have your apparel ready to go!
THRIVENT ACTION TEAM GRANTS
Do you have a Thrivent membership? We have a couple of projects coming up that are eligible for a Thrivent Action Team grant. If you’re willing to help by applying for a grant, we’ll provide everything you need. Email the church office if you can help.
INTERESTED IN HELPING WITH KITCHEN PLANNING?
We’re putting together a small group to explore options for our church kitchen. This is a planning committee, not a guarantee of a new kitchen, but rather a team that will help us take a thoughtful look at what we currently have and what our needs may be moving forward. The group will work on identifying needs, gathering ideas and pricing, and possibly laying out phases or a long-term plan for potential improvements. If this is something you’d be interested in being part of, please email the church office.
WEDNESDAY EVENING OUTDOOR WORSHIP SERVICES
We will be holding outdoor worship services here at church on Wednesday evenings at 6:30 PM on the following dates: June 18, July 16 and August 13. Bring a blanket or a chair and come join us. If you’d like to help by organizing and providing a simple treat for one of the evenings, there’s a sign-up sheet available. By simple treat, we mean things like ice cream sandwiches, root beer floats, s’mores and similar snacks.
MN SQUARE OUTDOOR WORSHIP SERVICE
Mark your calendars for Sunday, June 22 as we head outdoors for worship at MN Square Park.
We will follow the same format as last year with worship, food, music, games, and plenty of fun.
More details will be shared soon. For now, save the date and plan to join us.
INTERESTED IN THE 4TH OF JULY PARADE FLOAT?
We’re starting to gather names of people who are interested in helping with this year’s 4th of July parade float. Whether you want to help plan, decorate, ride on the float, walk alongside it, hand out candy, or just be part of the fun, we’d love to know. You can find the signup in the Helpful Links section, right below the red line, on both the church website and the church app.
