Annual River Rock Easter Egg Hunt
We are getting ready for another Easter Egg Hunt at Ridgeview Elementary School on Saturday, April 4. If you are interested in washing and matching plastic Easter Eggs (to return to church by Sunday, February 15) you can pick up a tote by the kitchen door. Information/Instructions are inside each tote.
Also, if you would like to donate candy for filling Easter Eggs, it can be placed in the tote labeled, "Candy Drop-Off" located by the Welcome Table. Small pieces that fit in a regular-sized plastic egg work best. (Money donations for candy can be placed in a marked envelope and put in the black tithes and offerings box by the tote.)

Alpha
Thursday Evenings
6:00 pm
Free Dinner Included
Alpha is a great way to share what you have come to enjoy in a relationship with God with neighbors, friends and family who may be curious about why you live the way you do. Or those who have expressed to you they feel empty, are hurting, or are finding themselves confused about life. It’s a way to say to others, “Me too! Here’s where I find help with my own life struggles!” And, it takes some pressure off of you to find the perfect words to explain everything.
Further, because it is low pressure, it’s great for people who may be interested in Christianity, but aren’t in a place to commit to a church. Alpha is not a Bible study. It is not lesson-oriented. It is simply an on-going conversation about the Christian faith over a series of shared meals. All opinions, feelings, and questions are welcome at the table. Open conversations amongst guests who come from different backgrounds, beliefs and life experiences center on one topic each week, and are designed to draw people together in relationship as they engage with content presented in video format.
While it’s ideal for guests to attend all the sessions from the beginning, they can jump in at any time. We have ways to catch them up. Or, if they like, they can attend any sessions when a new group begins.
Information cards to share with others can be found on the Welcome Table or on the TV stand by the front door at the church. Take a few!
