• Monday: Waffles & Worship (Young Adults)— 6:30 p.m. at Brian and Jo’s place in Cornelius. Waffles and Worship is a young adult group (from high school up to around age 30) that seeks to create a place for community and fellowship while also remembering that we have a greater dream and destiny to pursue as believers. Our meetings consist of a short time for fellowship and waffles starting at 6:30 p.m. We then transition around 7:00 p.m. to a time of worship followed by a Bible study. We then like to wrap up our meetings by praying for and encouraging one another as we face the week ahead of us. If you love waffles and are looking to build community with other young adults and pursue God alongside fellow believers, come check our group out! Contact Brian Stepanek [704-618-3792] for more details.
• Tuesday: Women in the Word— 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon in the sanctuary. Women in the Word is a Bible study and fellowship group led by Rhonda Bumgarner that meets on Tuesdays. We are about sharing our hearts, developing relationships and getting into the Word. Everyone is welcome! If you would like more information, please contact Rhonda [704-528-8000 / [email protected]].
• Wednesday: Women’s Intercessory Prayer— 9:30-11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. We gather for a short time of worship followed by praying for Pastor Byron’s requests as well as Holy Spirit-led prayer. Contact Sue [[email protected]] for additional information.

• Wednesday: RiverLife Youth Winter Games (Middle School & High School Youth Event)— All students from 6-12th grade are invited to join us from 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the back building for our Spring Semester kick-off: the Winter Games!

• NEW! Wednesday: Journey through the Living Word— 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the Sanctuary. You are invited to join us on a year-long journey through the Bible with the Holy Spirit as our guide! The purpose of this class is to introduce the culture and history of the Bible reading, track the location, examine the timeline, and more. The first part of each class will introduce the new readings for the week and then we’ll talk about the exciting things we’ve learned in the past week. We will be reading the Old Testament through to the New Testament in a unique chronological order. Choose your favorite translation or pull up an app and listen to the Bible throughout the week; grab a journal and record your revelations, impressions, etc. All ages welcome! Text Cindy Baker [828-999-2115] if you are interested in joining the trek!
• Thursday: Men of Fire (Men’s Fellowship)— 7:00 p.m. in the church’s back building. We focus on the Scriptures, prayer and building up one another. We meet to support all the men in our fellowship as well as the fellowship as a whole. Gathering in a small group helps us to develop closer relationships and encourages us to stand together in our walk with Jesus. Contact Tommy McCraw [[email protected]] for more information.
• Friday: Seeking His Presence (Mount Ulla)— 6:00 p.m. at the Foldoe’s house. We seek to grow in the knowledge of God (intimacy) in addition to becoming equipped practically for life and ministry. Our meetings begin with a covered-dish potluck meal, where we have a relaxed time of fellowship and opportunity to get to know one another. We then spend some time in the Word, usually focusing on a particular topic or theme. Contact Cheryl [740-775-0508 / [email protected]] for more information.
