Basic info again:  6 wk. class beginning 4/15 at 10:45AM in white house living room; discussion facilitated by Diane Kelley.  Come and be transformed!

What is God’s problem?  Some claim that the Christian can easily deflect criticism by appealing to Jesus’ life.  But we cannot evade the Old Testament.  Consider this allegation:“The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.”  And what about Hell and God not being so obvious to so many people?  Could the Islamic God be the same God as the Bible?  How is the Christian to respond to homosexuality or about the relationship between science and Scripture?  These “problems” and more will be addressed at our annual multi-church, multi-campus ministry, Symposium: The Problem of God, Feb.17-18, held at Purdue and Covenant Church. 

 

It’s that time again. Riverside will be hosting another blood drive for the Indiana Blood Center on Sunday, October 9 from 1:30 p.m. – 3 p.m. The Bloodmobile will be in the Riverside parking lot. Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this life-saving network in our community. You can sign up at the worship service on Sunday or you can sign up online HERE.

Indiana Blood Center is a vital link in Indiana’s health care infrastructure, supplying more than 550 units of blood to more than 60 Indiana hospitals every day. The nonprofit community service organization was founded in 1952 to provide a continuous, safe and adequate supply of blood products and testing services. For more information about the blood donation process visit www.indianablood.org.

In conjunction with our Back to School Bash on Saturday, August 20, Riverside will be collecting school supplies for Miller Elementary School in Lafayette.  The school supplies will be for families that are not able to provide supplies for their children.  Click here to see the school supplies list for Miller.  You can pick whatever supplies you are able to purchase, buy them, and then bring them to the church building or office.

Additionally, Lindsay Umbeck put a list together showing where you can find many of the school supplies on sale this week (August 1-August 6).  What she discovered is below.

Riverside will be offering child dedications and infant baptisms this upcoming Sunday, July 24.  We will meet at the river at Fort Ouiatenon at 4pm.  Please contact the Riverside office at office@rcovenant.org or 765.463.4600 if you are interested in participating.  If this date does not work for your family, please let the office know and we will let you know of additional opportunities.

You can find an explanation of Child Dedication and Infant and Believer Baptisms here.
