From Pastor Michael Harsch

Our desire as a church is that every person who enters our doors will know they are loved, welcome and safe. Because of this goal, we have several  ministries that exist to welcome and care for our church family and guests.  

On April 15 we are hosting a free lunch and training session  for all individuals who are involved or interested to be a part of Riverbend 'Guest Relations.'  This includes these ministries:  Greeters, Welcome Center,  Guest Reception, and our Safety Team (promoting security and physical health for all guests).  

If you are a part of these ministries and able to join us, please contact  either your ministry leader or the church office (672-1821) to register for this training event.  

If you are not yet part of one of these ministries, but are interested, please call the  church office (672-1821), as well.

Group Heading to Bible Museum

A group of Persevering Saints (senior adults) from Riverbend is heading to Washington, D.C., during May 19-25 (Saturday-Friday) to visit the new Museum of the Bible and several other venues in the nation's capital.

This new museum, which opened last November, is a seven-story facility that documents the narrative, history and impact of God's Word.

Riverbender John Nero, who is heading up this event, has arranged visits to both the Senate and House galleries at the Capitol Building, the Library of Congress, the Bureau of Engraving & Printing (where U.S. currency is printed), etc.
