Charles was baptized last night! He is a student at KSU and was looking for a church to visit at Christmas. He found us on Google Maps and came to our Candlelight Service, where he was then introduced to the campus ministry who studied the scriptures with him. We rejoice in what God has done in his life!

We are meeting in House Churches this Sunday, March 30! There will be no main service at North River. We encourage everyone to meet in smaller settings, such as Family Groups. It's a great opportunity to lean into the Spiritual Family value we hold so dear at North River. Click here to access a discussion plan (Lectio Divina) based on our Mark Series. This is meant to be a helpful resource for your group, but feel free to be flexible on what to do that day.

Marie was placed back on dialysis yesterday to ensure her blood was in good condition for the procedure. They have stopped the dialysis again. She had to undergo a tracheotomy and now has a feeding tube as well. Prayers please.

Easter Weekend is coming up! We will be having our Good Friday (Tenebrae) Service on 4/18, as we reflect on the darkness of the day Jesus gave his life. Then on Saturday 4/19, our Village Ministry will be hosting the River Kids Easter Celebration, offering family focused games and relays, and an egg hunt for kids aged 1-10. 

Then will be having dual services on Easter Sunday at 9 and 11 AM, featuring our North River Choir and Orchestra. River Kids Class will only be offered at the 11 AM Service, so we are asking our Thrive and Pacesetters Ministries to attend the 9 AM. 

Let's invite our friends to be part of these encouraging and moving events as we celebrate what God has done for us!

We are excited to host a blood drive through the American Red Cross on Sunday April 6 in the Lighthouse Theatre! It will be from 9 am - 2 pm, and we will be showing the livestream service in the theatre! Click for all info!
