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!
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
The last day to order is this Thursday, March 27. 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. If you don’t want to order online, find Tracy at the end of the service today, and she will help you.
HELP US MAKE ROOM FOR EVERYONE
We’re excited to see our church family growing every week! To help everyone find a spot to sit and feel welcome, we are asking for everyone to be conscientious about how we use our seating. Try not to leave open seats in the middle of rows if possible. Also, scooting toward the center of the row makes it easier for people to see where the open spots are when looking for a spot to sit. We understand that everyone has their preferred seating, but we greatly appreciate your flexibility. Thank you for your help with this
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!
LENTEN MEAL & WORSHIP
Join us each Wednesday during Lent for a free meal at 5:30pm, followed by worship at 6:30pm. If you’d like to help with any of these meals, sign up online or on the clipboard in the narthex. Filling spots early makes planning smoother and less stressful! Thank you for your support!
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!
