THE RIVER OF LIFE CLOTHING STORE CLOSES ON TUESDAY!! - Our apparel store is open online, but closes on Tuesday, October 28. This is the final cutoff date, and we don’t control it, so order now to avoid missing out. The link is available on our website and in our church app. A couple of sample items are hanging in the narthex if you’d like to check them out.
ALL SAINTS DAY – SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2 - If you have a loved one who passed between Nov 1, 2024, and Oct 31, 2025, and would like their name included in our All Saints' Day recognition, please let us know by tomorrow. We will honor these individuals during worship next Sunday.
FALL CLEAN-UP DAY - Join us for Fall Clean-Up Day on Saturday, November 1, from 9:00am to noon. We will work together on both indoor and outdoor projects to keep River of LIFE looking its best. All ages are welcome to help. Many hands make light work.
PRAYER WALL - Don’t forget about our Prayer Wall and Prayer Box. The Prayer Wall, in the hall by the Fellowship Room, is a place to share a request and also stop to pray for the prayers that are already there. These stay on the wall so that many people can see them and join in prayer. This is one way we can truly be a family of prayer. The Prayer Box, on the table in the Narthex, is there for private requests that our prayer team will be lifting up during the week. You can also send your prayer requests by email to prayers@riveroflifelutheran.com.
OPERATION CHRISTMAS CHILD – We are once again partnering with Samaritan's Purse in this global mission project to bring Great Joy & Hope to children in desperate situations around the world and make disciples of nations by sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ with them. How to Get Involved: Families and individuals can make meaningful memories this Christmas season with a focus on giving and thinking of others by packing shoebox gifts for children in need as the LORD says, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35). We invite everyone to join in by packing a preprinted shoebox found in the narthex or pack one on-line at River of LIFE's Goal Page https://shorturl.at/3GqN5, or make a donation, and pray. Important Dates: The last day to drop off a box or make a donation at River of LIFE is Noon on Sun., November 23.
For More Information: check out the display in the narthex or talk to Dawn, Shelly, or Valerie.
