PASTORAL ASSISTANT We are currently hiring for a part-time Pastoral Assistant who will work in the office for 15 hours per week. If you have questions or are interested in the position, reach out to one of the elders. A copy of the job description is posted on the informational bulletin board by the women’s restroom. FOOD MINISTRY The Food Ministry Freezer is labeled & now stocked! In the kitchen is a large new freezer being filled with food. If you are someone who could use a meal or two, please take what you need. Maybe someone in your family is sick, and you could use a break, or the week has been crazy & people need to be fed - grab a meal. YOUR TIME AND TALENTS MATTER We invite you to take a few minutes to fill out our Time and Talent Survey. This form helps us learn more about your interests, gifts, and the ways you feel called to serve at River of LIFE. Whether you are already involved or looking for something new, your responses will help us connect people with opportunities throughout the year. You can complete the survey online. A link can be found on our website or in our church app. FREE FOOD AVAILABLE ON WEDNESDAYS Each Wednesday morning, River of LIFE picks up day-old and “best by” dated items from Family Fresh. This includes a wide variety of foods such as pastries, buns, bread, cookies, cakes, and other baked goods. These items are still good, but can no longer be sold in the store. The food is brought to the church every Wednesday, and anyone is welcome to take anything they can use.
