• THIS Friday, October 1: Draw Near Worship & Encounter Night— 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the Sanctuary. You are invited to a night of worship dedicated to the Lord and His presence! Come rest in Him, praise Him, open your heart to Him as well as pursue His heart. Childcare is available for children ages 2-5.

• This Evening: Sojourn (Women’s Ministry) at the Lake— 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Rhonda’s mom’s home on the lake. We welcome you to join us for food, fellowship and worship around the campfire. Please bring: 1) a chair, 2) a covered dish to share [salad, finger food, quiche, etc.], and 3) warm layers for the chilly weather. Please carpool if you can, due to limited parking. If it rains, we will meet Monday, September 27 at the church. Contact Rhonda Bumgarner [704-528-8000] for directions or if you have any questions.
• 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.

• SAVE the DATE! Friday, October 8: Screening of Free Burma Rangers— 7:00-9:00 p.m. in RiverLife’s Sanctuary. Free Burma Rangers is the true story of a remarkable family compelled by Christ to bring love into war. This epic documentary chronicles the 20-year journey of the Free Burma Rangers, an unconventional humanitarian organization, as they venture through jungles, firefights, heroic rescues, and find hope in seemingly impossible situations. It’s a real-life action-adventure film unlike any you’ve seen before. Due to some intense war zone footage, this film is not recommended for children under 14 years of age unless they are mature. No childcare will be provided.
