This Week @ RiverLife — November 21, 2021

• 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.
• 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 will consist of a short time for fellowship and waffles starting at 6:30 p.m. We will 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.
• Wednesday: Women’s Intercessory Prayer— 9:30-11:00 a.m. in the Sanctuary. Contact Sue [[email protected]] for additional information.
• Wednesday-Friday: Church Office Closed— Happy Thanksgiving!

• Sunday School Teachers Needed— For various reasons (health, family, etc.), we have lost several teachers for our program on Sunday mornings.

We have a rotating schedule so there is flexibility in how often you would teach. Everything that you will need (lesson plans, supplies, etc.) will be provided. Please prayerfully consider helping! If you are interested, please email [email protected] or speak to Joe & Kim directly.
