Christmas at The River is a very special time of year in celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and bringing the message of Jesus to our community. This year we need your help to invite as many people to one of these special services, all of which are the same, and then serve at one of the times above whether it be greeting people, directing traffic, holding babies in the nursery, or teaching students in The Bridge... there is a way you can show the love of Jesus Christ to those that will visit The River this holiday season.
River Kids Christmas
Children from babies through 5th grade are strongly encouraged to attend a special River Kids Christmas at each of the service times above. Ultimately we want to see every child love and follow Jesus with all their heart, and we believe our River Kids Ministry, through hours of preparation every week, provides the best experience and guidance to reach that relationship with our Savior. While spending time as a family in worship is important, our Sunday and Christmas at The River services for adults are geared specifically for just that... adults. So we hope that your child will join River Kids each Sunday and at our Christmas at The River services this year.
