House of Mirrors – The Church of Narcissism (3 of 4)
Romans 13:3-13

We are excited that you have decided to gather with us this morning as we worship the only One worthy of our praise!

Connect

There are lots of ways to enjoy real connection to other RiverWind Church members. Here are a few current opportunities!

Prayer Meeting
We welcome you to join us in prayer on Wednesday nights at 6:30pm in the sanctuary. This Wednesday we will host a special time of prayer for RWKids, GenLight and AHG!

RiverWind Kids
God has increased our responsibility in our Children’s Ministry by blessing us with more and more kids over the last few months. We’ve had up to 11 babies in the nursery on a Sunday and usually around 30 pre-K through 5th graders!! This has increased our need for more teachers/caregivers and space. If you’d like to join the ministry team, please contact Sarah Blanton.

Over the next few weeks, we are also going to be rearranging the classroom layout to better accommodate all these kids. This includes inviting everyone to come have a Work Day on Oct. 5 starting at 8am. There will be a long list of other work items as well as making sure every classroom is prepared to best serve our RiverWind Kids ministry.

Finally, would you consider coming to this Wednesday’s Prayer Meeting as we will be praying specifically for RiverWind Kids.
