Christmas Eve Service Review

What an awesome time we had last Wednesday evening at our Christmas Eve services. Services opened with a couple Christmas carols. Our children then marched into the main sanctuary and sang "The Little Drummer Boy." The choir then sang "Oh Night Divine" with solos by Jessica Hayes, Jeff Hayes, and Warren Taylor. "Mary Did You Know" was then sang by the choir with a background video from "The Bible" Series.

Pastor Rob Neuschwander then shared a brief message with the church and we lit candles while singing "Silent Night."
Thank you to those of you that joined us and we hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas!

Doing Life Together

God is a relational God. Jesus was all about relationships, you can read story after story about Him being surrounded by people either learning from Him, talking with Him, or eating with Him. In the same way, we being made in His image, are relational beings. It's important that we know how to have healthy, Christ-like relationships with our children, parents, significant other, one to another within the church, and with individuals outside of the church. So, our mid-week ministries beginning again in January will be based on relationships.
We will have our Family Nights again on Thursday evenings at 6:00pm. These teachings will be done by Senior Pastor Rob Neuschwander and will be based on all different sorts of Relationships.
New this year, on Tuesday evenings starting January 6th from 6:00-7:30pm will be a Parent Night based on the Loving on Purpose series by Danny Silk. Shannon Tracy will be teaching about how to empower and strengthen both yourself and your children.
On Sunday evenings, beginning January 4th, the High School Ignite Leadership Team will be meeting from 6:00-8:00pm. Robbie & Karissa Neal will be teaching on what God has to say about being single and dating. We'll cover what God intended in the Garden, what went wrong, and how we are to proceed in a Post-Genesis 3 world.
We hope you will mark a few, or even all of these days down in your calendar and join us for fellowship and teaching.

Men's Steak Out

The men of RiverView had a great time last Thursday night sharing Steak and Fellowship with one another. Each man brought his own slab of meat and BBQ'd it up while sharing in potatoes and salad. Men chatted together about their lives and discussed Men's Ministry plans for the Winter and Spring of 2015. Men are looking forward to their 3rd Annual Snow Shoeing Trip, their Super Weekend, their 2nd Annual Chili Cook-off, and a Columbia Gorge Hike.
