November Prayer Calendar
You can pick up a free November prayer calendar at Riverside this Sunday! It may not solve all your scheduling struggles, but it can help you make time with your Father. Take the calendar and put it on your fridge, with your Bible, by your bed, but not in the recycling bin! Use it to prompt your prayers for your Riverside family and God’s people everywhere. And if you can’t wait until Sunday to get a copy, you can download one right now. See the attached….
2012 Summer Mission Trip
Riverside is going to San Raimundo, Guatemala to build a home from June 3-9, 2012. We want you to go! Riverside has partnered with Casas por Cristo to build an 18’ by 22’ home with three interior rooms and one exterior room. 77% of Guatemalans live in poverty and many of the families we will serve live off of less than $10 a week. The house we build will not only meet a family’s immediate needs, but will become an evangelistic tool for Guatemalan pastors who are sharing the Gospel in San Raimundo. No prior building experience is necessary to change a family’s life forever. We would like you to consider attending a Riverside Guatemala Trip Information Session following the worship services at 12pm on Sunday, November 20. Lunch and childcare will be provided.

WOW has moved!
We’ve moved WOW to the 3rd Sunday of each month starting now—October. Satan is waging a war on marriage and would like nothing better than to get a stronghold in your Christian marriage. Prayer for your husband is needed—you can stand in the gap for your man. Don’t be too busy to pray! Join us this Sunday, October 16th in the prayer/copy room in the white house during first service, aka 9:00 a.m.
