Offerings 
In the last months it has been great to see the congregation’s eagerness to give for the on going ministry of the River of Life church.  We also hope you keep the other Christian organizations in mind in your offering to the Lord.  To help this we will again ask the congregation to give their offerings to the Lord during the worship service.  In the morning if you do not mention what your offering will be for, it will go toward the ministry of the Rive of Life church. In the afternoon if you do not mention what your offering will be for, it will go toward the special Christian ministry our offerings will be going for that month.  For the month of July the special Christian ministry is Mid America Reformed Seminary.  A special school that trains future pastors.

Small groups - if you are not presently part of a small group and would like to be part of one, please call pastor Richard at 905-348-7424.

Men’s Bible study at 11:30 each Fridays. 
​
Although we will not be able to have the Wednesday open house for some time, each Wednesday there will continue to be a devotional on our Face book page.  

The next zoom fellowship meeting will be July 22 at 7pm.  

We hope to have a service day in August 8. It might be the last one we can do in this area before we move to a new location. After the service day we will have a barbecue for the community since we will not be able to have a community dinner.  

The first step to rezone the building we made an offer on has been successful.  We should hear soon if the deal will be finalized.
