ADULT BIBLE DISCUSSION GROUP The adult Bible discussion group, “READING THE BIBLE FOR ALL ITS WORTH: THE GOSPEL OF JOHN” continues Sunday mornings at 8:45-9:45 am in the Church Lounge/Library. Come and join the adventure of reading and applying the Bible to our adult lives! Pastor Gaug leads.
Congregational Meeting: The Session has called for a Congregational Meeting to be held Sunday, July 13, at the close of worship, for the purpose of acting on the report of the Nominating Committee to elect officers.
Summer Reading Program: During June and July we are offering a faith-based book reading opportunity for children and teens. They are encouraged to choose and read faith-encouraging books from our Book Borrowing Table or Children’s Library, or to choose faith-based books from home or library. After reading a book, children and teens are asked to fill out a short report (forms in Fellowship Hall) and place it in the acrylic report box. Prizes are given to children and youth who read two or more books.
The Jelly Belly dispensers are still available in Fellowship Hall for supporting our Afghan migrant family coming to Riverside this summer.
Church Picnic: Sunday, July 20, after worship. Bring food to share. We’ll provide the barbequed meat! We’ll be in Fellowship Hall and have games outside for all ages with bubbles, water balloons, and volleyball. Invite your friends and neighbors!
Save the Date: Please mark your calendars for our annual Block Party on September 20. More details to come.
