Saturday, February 28th at 6 PM, HOPE worldwide is putting on an event at North River to raise money for a resource closet to a local Title I school to help children and their families receive essential items while creating a sense of dignity, care, and belonging. The evening will feature incredible performances and local businesses present as vendors.

Ayanna Loraine Wells-Brown is a freshman at Kennesaw State University majoring in Biology, with hopes of becoming a zoologist. Originally from Covington and Suwannee, she enjoys listening to all kinds of music and finds strength in her favorite scripture, Isaiah 41:13: “For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you.” On Sunday, February 22, 2026, Ayanna was baptized — a joyful milestone as she begins this new chapter of walking with Christ.

Our weekly giving goal for February is $44,000, and thanks to your generosity, our February 22nd total was $56,477.10. Your generous support propels our mission forward, allowing us to strengthen our connections with both our church family and the wider community. Join us in making a meaningful difference!

Over the past few months, we have been deeply encouraged by your generosity, receiving about $140,000 in one-time gifts. Together with careful budget management, these extraordinary donations are allowing us to bridge the gap in our weekly contributions. Your support makes a meaningful difference, and we are incredibly grateful for your willingness to step in and help with such heart and sacrifice. 

As we look ahead, the most powerful way to sustain this momentum is through consistent, regular giving. Faithful weekly and monthly gifts—of any size—allow us to plan wisely, support our ministries, and carry out our mission with confidence throughout the year. Thank you for all the ways you continue to pray, serve, and give.

We will be having an Easter Choir rehearsal on Sunday, March 1, immediately after church at 12pm. If you enjoy singing or play an instrument and would like to serve in a special way during the Easter season, we’d love for you to be part of the choir or Orchestra. No matter your experience level, you’re welcome to join and lift your voice with us as we prepare for this meaningful celebration. Come ready to learn, grow, and worship together. Email joshbrown@nrcoc.com for more information!

Please consider joining us in river kids! We are just 2 short of what we need to complete our staffing for 2026. It takes all of us to help raise the precious children of our church!

Amid ongoing unrest in Haiti, our church family continues to serve through relief efforts and medical outreach. Recent partnerships have helped provide meals, hygiene supplies, and medical support to vulnerable communities and inmates in Port-au-Prince, sharing both practical care and the hope of Christ. Ongoing fundraising and training initiatives are strengthening local infrastructure and long-term impact. We also mourn the recent loss of Jolio Louis, a faithful Haitian brother who stood firm in his faith and refused gang recruitment at the cost of his life. They thank you for your continued prayers and generosity for our Haitian brothers and sisters.
