OPTIONS FOR PASTOR TOM’S RETIREMENT
Pastor Tom had faithfully served here at River of LIFE and was instrumental in planting our church. He recently announced his retirement, effective October 31, 2025.
We would love to bless Pastor Tom and his wife, Colleen, with a box of cards filled with love and thanks from our River of LIFE family. A display is set up in the narthex where you can write a note. Note cards and message starters are provided, but you are also welcome to bring your own card.
In addition, some have expressed interest in giving a group monetary gift. Heather Magelee is gathering donations and will take care of purchasing a few items on behalf of the congregation. If you’d like to contribute, please connect with her.
YOUTH GROUP HELP WITH MEALS & SERVING
Our youth group has been meeting and they are excited to be back together again. An important part of this ministry includes sharing a meal, and we need your help to keep it going. You can sign up to provide a meal or to serve and clean up after the meal. To sign up, go to the Helpful Links section of our website or app and look just below the red line.
CLOTHING STORE INTEREST CHECK
We’ve had a few requests for River of LIFE apparel, especially the hooded sweatshirt. Our vendor requires at least ten combined orders of sweatshirts and t-shirts to move forward with printing. Once that happens, they are also willing to reopen the entire online store.
If you’d like to order, please email the church office and let us know how many items you might purchase. Your replies will help us determine the next step.
UPCOMING GUATEMALA MISSION TRIP
Join us for a mission trip to Guatemala on February 9–16. If you are interested, please talk to Pastor Brian soon. An informational meeting will be held on Sunday, September 28th after worship. We will discuss airline ticket purchases and plan to book them shortly after the meeting.
