Wow! It was a very busy day for The River family today. First we had 14 people in our congregation get baptized! Hallelujah, Praise Jesus! And after that, we participated in the prayer gathering that took place at Watervliet Highschool to pray for our local schools. About 50 people representing at least 5 churches in Watervliet and Coloma went out to different schools in Berrien and Van Buren counties and prayed over the students, teachers, parents, bus drivers and others working for our school systems. Thank you Jesus for giving us another wonderful day to praise You and do Your work! ❤️
