We couldn’t have done it without volunteers! 🖐️
Thank you to all those who cut, taped, and assembled the Pentecost art. And a special thanks to Kathy Stark for creating this powerful visual for our worship service.

Pentecost Sunday!

Pentecost worship was full of joy and celebration, with fantastic jazz music (including RPC’s own Cliff Huber, Jesse Huber, and Mark Zeigler) and the words of breath, fire, advocate, helper, and counselor displayed in the art installation above our heads. Children and families made gliders; a reminder that the Holy Spirit equips us to go out and share Jesus.

Fishes & Loaves has restocked the freezers!
This volunteer-based ministry team cooks homemade meals and freezes them so our deacons and pastoral staff can deliver food to people in need. Whether supporting new parents, caring for those recovering from surgery, or comforting families during times of grief, these meals are a practical way our church shares love and care to our community.

Summer Choir at Riverside 🎶
Summer is a wonderful time to try something new—why not join in the music ministry at Riverside?

Riverside’s choir leads worship each week, and during the program year the choir rehearses Thursday evenings, but for the summer months we simplify things. Beginning June 7, you’re invited to be part of the Summer Choir, meeting only on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am—no weekday rehearsals required.
Made up of volunteers and supported by professional singers, the choir is a group of people who come together to sing, build community, support each other, and have fun. Whether you’ve sung in choirs for years, are returning after some time away, or are simply curious to give it a try, you are warmly welcome.

At Riverside, music is a vital part of our worship life: “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord” (Psalm 150:6). The requirements are simple—enthusiasm, energy, and effort. We work together to develop a unity, both musically and spiritually, that enables us to share God’s love through music.

If you’ve ever thought about singing in the choir, this is the perfect time. Just show up on Sunday mornings, or reach out to Jared Stellmacher for more information.
We’d love to have you join us this summer!

🔥 Join us this Pentecost Sunday as we celebrate the day the Holy Spirit moved like wind and fire—filling ordinary people with boldness, joy, and a voice to share God’s love with the world. Often called the “birthday of the Church,” Pentecost reminds us that God’s Spirit is not distant, but alive, moving, and still at work among us today. This year’s service will be especially vibrant as Riverside member and musician Cliff Huber returns with a talented combo of musicians to lead a dynamic Jazz Pentecost service—a tradition that has been shaped over many years at Riverside. From prelude to postlude, their music will guide us through a rich blend of jazz, gospel, and blues—featuring creative arrangements of beloved hymns, original compositions, and even a fresh take on “Let It Be.” Expect energy, joy, and a spirit of participation—this is worship that invites you in.

❤️ You are encouraged to wear something red to this service!

College Secret Pals Reception

College Secret Pals have been praying for a specific college student from RPC throughout the school year. Yesterday, all was revealed! Thank you to all of this year’s secret pals, and to Heather Campbell, Bookie Zeigler, and Jean Grant-Dooley for organizing this special ministry.

a blessing for mother's day
by Kate Bowler

a blessing for mother’s day
Bless all who mother,
holding us in their arms,
in the quiet corners of their hearts.

The weight of small hands in yours,
the joy that catches you off guard,
the quiet power of being needed–
and the love that makes you braver
than you were.

Bless all the exhausted and overextended,
the ones holding it all together and
the ones hanging on for dear life.
The ones doing the best they can
with what they have,
and all of those learning to forgive
or let go or start anew.

Bless all who grieve,
missing a mother or a child,
or a relationship that wasn’t what it
should have been.

And bless all those for whom mothering is
complicated, heartbreaking, or incomplete.

May there be tenderness today.
Enough to honor what’s beautiful.
Enough to name what still hurts.
Enough to hold the complexity
without needing to tidy it up.

And may love–real, honest, ordinary love–
be what finds you.

Today and every day after.

Last Wednesday, over 60 Riversiders gathered over a Holy Smokes BBQ meal to learn more about AI (artificial intelligence) and its growing role in our world and daily lives. Trace Jackson led us in a discussion and demonstration of AI tools and also gave us an overview of risks and rewards to AI. It was an evening of insight, and we look forward to future discussions.

Trace Jackson is a Jacksonville-based attorney specializing in intellectual property and technology law, with particular expertise in artificial intelligence and generative AI. He regularly teaches and speaks on the risks, ethics, and practical applications of AI for organizations and professionals.
