This Sunday - Operation Christmas Child Kickoff
The River is thrilled to once again partner with Operation Christmas Child in bringing the hope of Jesus and the joy of a Christmas present to hundreds of children around the globe. This year, our goal is to collect 400 shoebox gifts for children who likely would not receive a Christmas gift otherwise. Visit the table by the fireplace in between services to pick up your boxes! Our Missions team will be covering the cost of shipping for all of our boxes. Shoeboxes must be returned by Sunday, November 6.
