This Week @ RiverLife — March 20, 2022

• TODAY: Deadline to Participate in the 2022 Church Directory— These times have made the RLF Church Directory an invaluable tool to help keep in touch. If you consider RiverLife Fellowship to be your church home and you attend the Mooresville Campus, we welcome you to participate in the 2022 RLF Church Directory. Please visit Paula Stark in the foyer to sign-up! Forms can also be downloaded HERE or from the church website. And please email your updated photo to [email protected]. It is important to INCLUDE A PHOTO along with your contact information (see example above), because it is so much easier to connect and contact a person when you have a face to go with their name. If you have any questions, please contact Paula Stark [[email protected]].

• This Morning: Sunday Morning Worship Service— Join us in-person in our sanctuary or virtually (on our RiverLife Media YouTube Channel or on our RiverLife Media Facebook page) for our morning worship service, starting at 10:00 a.m.
• This Afternoon: Sunday Lunch with the Crowns of Glory (Ages 55+)— The Crowns of Glory Life Group will gather after the morning worship service in the church’s back building for lunch and fellowship. Please bring your own bag lunch and drink and join us. Contact Pam [704-663-7775 / [email protected]] for more information.
• Monday: Waffles & Worship (Young Adults)— 6:30 p.m. at Brian and Austin’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.
• Monday: Who God Is & Who We Are in Him (Mooresville)— Join us from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Sharon’s house. Discovering the true nature of God and who we are in Him is the focus of our group. No childcare is available. Adults (men and women) of all ages are welcome! Group Leaders are Sharon Mast and Brian & Anita Kurn. For more information, contact Sharon [503-577-4632].
• Tuesday: Women in the Word— 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon in the Sanctuary. We purpose to dive deeper into the Word by either going over Sunday’s message, a book study, or the Word itself. We seek to become more acquainted as we share our hearts, to learn through our unique perspectives, and to deepen our relationship with the Lord and one another. Everyone is welcome! If you would like more information, please contact Rhonda [704-528-8000 / [email protected]].
• Tuesday: Tidal Wave (Middle School Youth in Grades 6-8)— 7:00-8:30 p.m. in the church’s back building. Our desire is to create an environment for middle schoolers to grow in their personal relationship with the Lord, their knowledge and love of the Word, in their spiritual gifts and in worship. We also believe that social interaction is a key part of a group of this age and have plenty of opportunities for fun and activities. Contact Stacy [704-763-5389 / [email protected]] for more information.
• 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.
• NEW! Wednesday: End Times Seminar (6 weeks)— 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. The topic of End Times has often been mysterious for many, so our goal in this seminar is to help unlock our understanding of Scripture in order for it to become a joy to read. We will be exploring the rapture, celestial disturbances, current events, the Antichrist, the 7 seals/trumpets/bowls, Heaven, and much more. Everyone is welcome. Please bring a hard copy Bible. Course material is $15. Contact Scott [[email protected]] with any questions.
• 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.
• Saturday: Men’s Prayer Group— 7:00 a.m. in the Prayer Room. This prayer time has been a free-flowing mixture of worship, testimony and prayer. We seek the Lord’s heart and pray accordingly! Please text Jeff Miller [704-775-6652] on Friday for our Saturday meeting details.
