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 cards.
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.
