Name Tags at River City
We invite you to write your name & "the importance of community" on a name tag as you arrive to church in the morning. There will be a table as you walk in to grab a name tag and let folks know "the importance of community." This is in an effort to further connect as a body and make sure we know one another by name! Bonus points: introduce yourself to one person in the congregation who you've wanted to meet, but haven't had the chance to yet

The structure of the service falls into three relatively equal parts: Worship, Prayer & Praise/announcements, and a sermon. We will be streaming the service in #118 Parent Room and the Lounge near the front foyer area for anyone who does not feel comfortable worshipping in the sanctuary, or for families that would like to access alternative spaces. After service, join us in the Bridge area for fellowship, coffee, and snacks!

Make sure you're receiving the Midweek announcements by emailing Aaron (aeddy@rivercitychicago.com).
