Youth Prayer & Dismissal
Sermon We”re kicking off a new six part series titled, Bearing Witness:Testifying to life in a new year.The series will be led by & Rev Val Tao & Rev Mark Tao! Throughout the six weeks of this series, we would like to highlight six different aspects of witness that help us to testify the life of God that is available to us so we can live with purpose and joy. Bearing witness is about a kind of revelation in community which helps us to (in the words of M Shawn Copeland), "make present what has been absent". In this new year, what are some commitments we want to make present- to give proactive attention so that God can be given the glory in and through us, and so that we can participate in that divine life.

River City "Building Together" There has been so much fantastic progress on the lot next door as the space becomes a place of safety and joy for the kids of RCITY, as well as an asset to all of us at River City. While R CITY grants cover most of the materials, donations are still needed to cover the costs for this fantastic space. Please consider giving to this transformational project! Your dollars will immediately be put to work for the future of all the R CITY and River Cityyouth. As we continue with the renovations of the lot next to River City, we invite you to support the project. We invite you to partner with us by giving and sharing the link below with your network, friends, and family.
