Marie went to be with the Lord this past Saturday. We mourn with her husband, Eddie, and her kids, Brice and Amelia. The Celebration of Life Service will be Saturday, May 10th at 3 PM in the North River Auditorium, with a reception to follow in the FLC. There are a few ways to support the family through meal trains and a GoFundMe page for funeral expenses. Please contact Nanon (423-364-7300) if you have any questions.

Welcome your new brother, Freddy Jose (middle right), to the Kingdom of God! A coworker of Grant Hicks, Freddy eagerly accepted an invitation to study the Bible and grow in his walk with God. After about 6 months of studying the scriptures, making changes in his life, and prayer, Freddy made the decision to make Jesus Lord of his life and was baptized Sunday April 13th. Look out for Freddy in fellowship and get to know your new brother in Christ! 

We look forward to worshipping together at 10 AM this Sunday in the auditorium! Guest Speaker Derek Wooten will be preaching. 

There will also be a Pace Setters Service at 10 AM in the Lighthouse Theatre.

Hey North River family! The Campus Training Program is coming up. This year the theme is "Unless..." from the scripture John 12:24. The time frame is DIFFERENT than any year prior. It will be at the end of May. It will be Wednesday May 28th until Sunday June 1st. We are looking for people to host those who will be attending the CTP from out of state. We are grateful for how many of the North River members who have served in this way years before. The host families really are a vital part to the CTP. Thank you to all those who have done it.
