03.14.20 We are moving online!
Church,
On Friday, March 13th Governor Walz announced limitations on all gatherings of more than 250 in MN. As a result, we have decided that we will be moving services online effective Sunday, March 15th. This is not an act of panic or fear, rather, it’s an act of care - both for the church and for others. For the health care system, for neighbors, and for the vulnerable. This is what it means to be for the common good and to “seek the peace of the city.”
What can we do during this time?
1.) Pray. We encourage families to pray together. 2 Chronicles 7:14 says “If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will HEAL THEIR LAND.”
2.) Let’s BE the church in this time! Reach out to your circle of influence and see how you can best serve them!! If you know of someone in need, lend a helping hand, a few dollars, or prayer. Even though we can’t gather as a large group, this is a perfect time to be with your family, neighbors, and friends online to be the Church together!
3.) Stay up to date with us. We will be daily updating you at riveroflifeag.org/coronavirus.
We will be providing ONLINE services for your entire family starting Sunday, March 15th. Check out Facebook or Instagram to view these services! We see this as an opportunity to activate as the body of Christ in a whole new way! Pick a service time and engage with it. You can watch us online at riveroflifeag.org/live, on our Facebook page “River of Life Church,” OR download our app (River of Life - Cold Spring).
Online Service Times (ONLINE ONLY)
Saturday - 5pm
Sunday - 8am, 9:30am, & 11am
Online Wednesday Night Times (ONLINE ONLY)
Adults, River Kids, and River YTH - 7pm
Stay healthy, fam!
Note: For the safety of our staff and church community, if you or someone in your household tests positive for COVID-19, please notify us as soon as possible at [email protected].
