Prime Time - Seattle Trip

Our Prime Timers have been talking of taking a trip for a couple months now. A date and plan has been set. Thursday, June 11th, anyone ages 55+ is welcome to meet at RiverView Community Church for a train ride to Seattle. We're going to meet at the church at 8:00am and car pool over to the Kelso Train Station. From there, we'll ride the train to Seattle, spend a couple hours in Seattle, and then ride the train home, expected to be back to Kalama around 8:00pm. The cost is still TBA!

Missions Garage Sale - Dontaions Wanted!

Our Youth Missions team is having a garage sale the weekend of June 12th-13th to raise funds for their trip to Haiti in November. They are asking for any clean, unbroken donations to be brought to the church between June 1st and June 10th for pricing and organizing. If you're a garage sale-r yourself, you could also come on June 12th or 13th between 8:00am and 3:00pm and see if you don't find some hidden treasures!

Recovery Ministry New Night

Our Recovery Meeting night has been switched from Monday to Friday, at least through the duration of the Summer season. Meetings will still be at RiverView church at 6:00pm. Everyone welcome!

Rock The Hawk

This Wednesday is our last Youth Ignite Club until Fall. It's also the last night for teenagers currently in grades 6th-11th to turn in their registrations and $125 for summer camp. Out of this deadline sparked a fun challenge and exciting way to end the year....Rock the Hawk! We've hosted Summer Camp at Salmon Falls Retreat Center for two years in the past and both years have come within 5 teenagers of hitting the 40 campers mark. So our goal this year is to have 40 teenagers sign up for summer camp. If 40 teenagers have their signed registration and $125 turned in on Wednesday night at club, Youth Pastor Robbie Neal and Youth Leader Klancy Shriver will get on stage in front of everyone and have their hair shaved into Mohawks at club. Videos of the event will, of course, be made available to all. So spread the word about camp, get a registration to your friends, friend's kids, coworkers, family members, neighbors,...EVERYONE! Let's have a successful Rock the Hawk event (and Summer Camp!).

Welcome Baby Scarlett

Our Children's Pastor, Reyna has had her little baby girl, Scarlett. Scarlett was born on May 14th. New mom, dad, and baby are doing great and the whole Neuschwander clan is ecstatic.

Prime Time Fun

Prime Time is quickly growing to be one of our largest mid-week ministries and there's no wonder as to why. Thursday mornings feature food, games, music, discussion over The Word of God, and really awesome, fun seniors! Everyone ages 55 and up is welcome at 11:00am every Thursday morning to join us at the church (6325 Old Pacific Hwy S, Kalama). Prime Time is lead by RiverView's Senior Pastors, Rob & Becky Neuschwander and there's a potluck every week!

Compassion Sunday

Consider sponsoring a child through Compassion International this Sunday, May 17th. We will have a short presentation during both services and a booth available for you to select a child to sponsor. Your support of $38 a month could provide one child with medical, nutritious food, health and hygiene training, education, access to special services like surgeries and disaster relief, mentoring, and, most importantly sponsored children get to hear the life changing news of the Gospel and get the opportunity to give their lives to Christ. That's approximately $1 a day to change a child's entire life. Sponsors get to communicate via letter writing with their sponsored children and can even choose to take a Compassion Sponsored trip to meet their sponsored child.
If you cannot make it to church on Compassion Sunday, you can learn more or sponsor a child today by clicking the following link and visiting Compassion International's Website.

Men's Bible Study...New Night!

Men's Bible Studies have been moved from Wednesday evenings to Thursday evenings. They will happen at the same time, same place: 6:30pm at Nathan Burck's home, 537 N 3rd Place in Kalama.
Women's Bible Studies are also on Thursday evenings, at 6:30pm, at the church with childcare provided. This makes for a great evening for your family to get out of the house and study the word!

Treat Your Mom (on us)

Kick off the day of celebrating your mom this Sunday by taking her to an awesome church service all about her and treating her to Pancakes with Strawberries and whip cream (on us!). Becky Neuschwander will be speaking on the topic, "Thank You Mom." Services are at normal time, 9:15 and 11:15am with breakfast served at 10:45.

Final Girl's/Guy's Nights

This week contains the final Girl's and Guy's Nights until Fall. If you know a teenage girl currently in the 7th-12th grade who needs something fun to do this Friday night or a teenage guy, same age, who needs something fun to do this Saturday night...send them our way! Details from Karissa & Robbie Neal on the evenings are below:

Being crafty and enjoying trying new recipes mixes for this being the girl's night I'm most excited about yet! (Other than maybe that time all us chicas ate a TON of ice cream...and I mean that literally..it was shameful, haha!).



So how this will work is if you're coming, please post on our Facebook Event what craft or recipe you're bringing and if there's any supplies that all us other girl's need to bring in order to participate. (You can see my (Karissa's) post for an example). If you're providing all the necessary supplies-please bring enough for 8 girls (and still post on the Facebook Event what you're bringing so we don't end up with duplicate ideas).

 Guy's will be meeting on Saturday and playing sports games and eating junk food. Guy's-please bring a junk food item to share. You can also RSVP on the Guy's Night Facebook Event.
