If you are at all interested in joining a Riverside small group this year, follow the link and let's get this ball a rollin'

Our Life groups consist of ~6-12 Christians from Riverside meeting at least once monthly to grow deeper in fellowship, discipleship, and accountability. They study the Word together, pray together, and hang out together. This is an important step in taking faith in Christ to the next level.

Church Picnic - Still at Island Park!

Riverside Family-

It's going to be hot tomorrow! As such, we're treating this like we would a snow storm: we invite you to use your best discretion whether to come or not. The dinning area at the park is in the shade and we have ice cold water for everyone- but if you know you're vulnerable to the heat please don't risk it. Maybe stop by for a free plate and take it to go. You'll be missed but we understand that you need to be safe with this heat!

Reminder: if you are bring a side dish, dessert, or a yard game please drop them off before the morning service. I'll be there getting it all set up. And we have 2 refrigerators if anything needs to stay cool!

Stand firm in Christ,

Pastor Ben
