by | Nov 5, 2023 | Announcements
THE FALL FESTIVAL IS HERE!
Bring your family and join us this afternoon at Patterson Farm in Mt. Ulla from
1:00 PM – 5:00 PM, for a BBQ Potluck Feast, hay rides, corn maze adventures, a cake walk, and more! We look forward to celebrating with you.
  • This Morning: Morning Worship Service— Join us in person in our Sanctuary or virtually (on our RiverLife Media YouTube Channel or our RiverLife Media Facebook page) for our morning worship service starting at 10:00 AM. Pastor Byron Wicker will share.
  • This Afternoon: Post-Service Prophetic Ministry— Do you need to hear from the Lord? Receive a word of encouragement, exhortation, or comfort from our Prophetic Teams in the Sanctuary after service.
  • Monday: Waffles & Worship (Young Adults)— 6:30 PM 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 remembering that we have a greater dream and destiny to pursue as believers. Our meetings consist of a short time of fellowship and waffles starting at 6:30 PM. Then, around 7:00 PM, we transition to a time of worship followed by a Bible study. Finally, we like to wrap up our meetings by praying for and encouraging one another as we face the week ahead. So, if you love waffles and want to build community with other young adults and pursue God alongside fellow believers, come check out our group! Contact Brian Stepanek [704-618-3792] for more details.
  • Monday: Who God Is & Who We Are in Him (Mooresville)— 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM at Sharon’s house. Discovering the true nature of God and who we are in Him is the focus of our group.

  • Tuesday: Women in the Word— 10:00 AM – 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! For more information, please contact Rhonda [704-528-8000 / [email protected]].
  • Tuesday: RiverLife School of Ministry— 6:30 PM – 9:00 PM in the back building. The RiverLife School of Ministry endeavors to train those who have a recognized call of God on their lives for Kingdom ministry within and outside the church through teaching sound doctrine, training in biblical leadership, activation of spiritual gifts, and equipping in preaching ministry. Visit our website for more information.
  • Wednesday: Women’s Intercessory Prayer— 9:30 AM – 11:00 AM in the Sanctuary. We gather for a short time of worship, followed by praying for Pastor Byron’s requests and Holy Spirit-led prayer. Contact Sue [[email protected]] for additional information.

  • Wednesday: Tidal Wave (Middle School Youth in Grades 6-8)— 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM in the church’s back building. We desire to create an environment for middle schoolers to grow in their relationship with the Lord, knowledge and love of the Word, spiritual gifts, and worship.

We meet to support all the men in our fellowship and the church at large. 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 PM at the Foldoes’ 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 time in the Word, focusing on a particular topic or theme. Contact Cheryl [704-775-0508 / [email protected]] for more information.
