| Welcome to Currents, the weekly e-newsletter of The River Community Church. This newsletter is designed to keep you informed about all the exciting opportunities for learning and ministry at The River. | This Sunday @ The River | | Sunday Morning Worship at The River
 This Sunday's Message: "The Good Life" This Sunday, we launch into a brand new and extended series at The River called "The Good Life". It's a series based on the greatest message ever given in the history of humanity--Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. We'll start by laying down some basic principles for hearing and understanding Jesus' message rightly. We'll look at the wisdom of Jesus, what he means by the curious term, "the kingdom of heaven" and what Jesus "yoke" is. Come Sunday to find out more. | | Grow Ministry | | Becoming a Full Devoted Follower of Christ
