MARCH IS FOOD SHELF MONTH

Throughout March, we are collecting non-perishable food donations to support our local food shelf. Please bring your donations and place them in the designated bins located at the church. Every item helps provide meals for those in need in our community.

 

YOUTH GROUP OUTING TO THE WOW ZONE!

The youth group is heading to Wow Zone on Sunday, March 30 for a fun day of laser tag, games, and pizza! Don’t miss out on this exciting time of fellowship and fun. Stay tuned for more details!

 

MOVIE NIGHT AT RIVER OF LIFE

Join us on Sunday, March 23, at 6:30pm for Movie Night at River of LIFE as we watch The Wild Robot on the big screen! Whether you have kids or not, this movie is perfect for all ages to enjoy together. Come in your pajamas, bring a blanket and get comfy! We’ll make popcorn, and you’re welcome to bring your favorite treats as well. Invite your friends and family for a relaxed evening of fun and fellowship!

 

LENTEN MEAL & WORSHIP

Join us on Wednesday for a free meal at 5:30pm, followed by worship at 6:30pm. We still need a few more people to bring lasagna for this week and other items for future meals. If you’d like to help, sign up online or there is a paper sign-up on a clipboard in the narthex. Thank you for supporting these meals!

 

SUPPORT OUR YOUTH: ENVELOPE FUNDRAISER!

Our youth are heading to the National Youth Gathering in New Orleans this summer and they need your help to raise money for airfare, registration and food for 19 people. One way to support them is through our envelope fundraiser. You just need to pick an envelope (or envelopes) from the fundraiser wall, put in the dollar amount listed and return it with your donation. If every envelope is filled, we will raise $11,325! We are also hosting other fundraisers, including the Easter Breakfast, a garage sale, Bingo, Gertens flower fundraiser and more to be determined. Each participant is also contributing personally toward the trip.

 

GERTENS FLOWERS

Another way you can support our youth going to the LCMS National Youth Gathering is through the Gertens Fundraiser. This is a great opportunity to purchase high-quality plants while giving back! To access the site and place an order supporting our fundraiser, visit www.gertensfundraising.com and enter River of LIFE Lutheran as the organization. The store ID code is 1026.

 

GARAGE SALE ITEMS

This Lent, instead of giving something up, take on a new challenge! Each day, set aside one item you no longer use or wear and place it in this bag. Drop off donations in the hallway across from the water fountain. All items will be sold at the Youth Garage Sale Fundraiser happening April 24-26. Help support our youth while decluttering your home!

 

EASTER FLOWERS

Easter Lilies are available for purchase. They will be used to decorate the sanctuary for Easter Sunday, and you’re welcome to take yours home after the service. Sign up online through the Helpful Links section on our website or the River of LIFE app, or use the paper order form available in the narthex. Orders are due March 16—just two weeks away! Don’t wait - order today!
