Kids Sunday

Good Morning Riverbank,

In case you haven't already heard. Come prepared for a little different worship service this Sunday as we have a our first "Kids Sunday" There will be lots of fun, and excitement for "kids" young and old. I can't tell you what will happen or that will take the surprise out of it, but trust me you will enjoy it and there will be a lot of "energy" in the house. Pass the word and invite your friends.

Also, on Saturday June 11th at 6:30 we will be having our first Vision Connection dinner at the Opry. Cornerstone of Augusta has so graciously agreed to provide the meal for us that evening. Do everything you can to be able to attend. You will not want to miss this evening as we have a lot of fun and I share Vision, direction, and strategy for the the next stage of planting this church in Nelson Co. I am also excited to let you know that Pastor Greg, from the Augusta congregation, and Pastor Gerald, the founding pastor of Cornerstone, will be able to join us. If you know others who may want to be a part of this mission, this would be a great time to invite them.

Have a Great Day,

Pastor Brian

Exciting Week at Riverbank

Good Evening Riverbank,

I am very excited about this week for two reasons... First, our two adult life groups are kicking off this week. Victoria and I will be leading a group that will meet on Thursday evening at the Church. We will work out future schedule from there, but it will be Thursdays. John and Susie Shimp's group will meet on Wed. at their house. Both groups will meet at 7PM. Bring the whole family and we will have a great time.

So what is a Life Group? Simply put, it is a spiritual family. In today's mobile society maybe your physical family does not live close together or maybe you do not relate on a spiritual level. This is where a Life group comes in. This is the place to make friends, have fun, encourage one another, and grow in your relationship with God with a group of people who desire the same thing.

Feel free to visit whichever group you want to. An e-mail or phone call in advance would be helpful as we plan. John and Susie's info is as follows and mine is below. (jshimp533@gmail.com or 434-277-5099)

The second reason that I am excited is that we are going to have our first child dedication here at Riverbank during this Sunday's service on Mother's day. This is a time for parents to dedicate there children to the Lord and themselves to raise those children a Godly manner. I you have never done this (no matter what the age of your children) I really encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. Please email me and let me know if you would like to participate so that we can plan.

Have a great week,

Pastor Brian
