Welcome! We are so glad that you are here. You can follow along with the talk here and add your own notes. Right below here you can see what is going on at The River.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to better serve you. Oh, if you haven't done so already, remember to head to your favorite social media platform to let everyone know you are here by checking in or following and liking ours!

We would love to meet you! Bring your Connection Card and stop by the Connection Room across from the Worship Center. We have a free gift for you, too!

We want you to be connected with others at the River! Whether it's doing things with people who have similar interests, joining a Bible study or community group, or serving. Contact our Director of Connections and Small Groups at leslie@hittheriver.com and she'll make it happen!

Community groups don’t only help with spiritual questions, they can also provide support on a plethora of life matters. You can ask for prayer regarding your career, relationships, and other life decisions. When we seek out the knowledge and wisdom of others before making a difficult life choice, the final outcome is almost always better.

Tomorrow morning, November 22nd at 9:00 a.m. we will be decking the halls here at The River! We would love for you to come, and help us decorate our church for the Christmas season. Lunch will be provided.

Join the ladies of The River for an afternoon of tea, cookies, games, Christmas humor, and more on December 11th, from 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Wear your best Christmas festive and enjoy a time of fellowship. This event is for all Ladies of the River ages 16 and up. Space is limited, so sign-up today at hittheriver.com/events. For questions email Leslie@hittheriver.com.

The youth girls are refreshing the River Church library and we need your help. We will be expanding and enhancing the current library in the River loft and are looking for donations. Now through November 30th, please donate your gently used fiction and non-fiction Christian based books. We are looking for Christian books of all kinds; parenting, children's books, books on our identity in Christ, faith, prayer, etc., as well as non-fiction Christian books. A collection box for books is located by the fireplace. If you have any questions or want to make a cash donation for supplies please contact Brittany McGaffin at brittany.mcgaffin@gmail.com.

Do you play an instrument, love to run audio equipment, or know someone that does? We are in need of musicians to join our worship team. If you're interested, please contact our worship director to audition by emailing Mystique@hittheriver.com.

On Saturday, December 4th, we will be heading to Hope House Mission in Middletown to bring our homeless neighbors a holiday lunch…. With TACOS!! We are not just looking for donations but we also need people to come out and serve. Let us know if you would be interested in providing or serving by contacting Zach@hittheriver.com.

RiverBank Kids will no longer be offering Sunday School during the 11:15 worship service beginning December 5. As we continue to build the ministry and monitor class sizes, we will prayerfully consider revisiting this option in the future. In the meantime, all kids from birth-5th grade are invited to join us at 9:45 each week for Sunday School!

Join us for a Christmas Eve Service on Friday, December 24th! We will have three family-friendly services at the following times; 2:30 p.m. 4:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
