Being A Good Neighbor
As you know, during regular business hours, parking in the Riverside area can sometimes be a little difficult for everyone. Our business neighbors have asked that we try and make sure that people attending church and/or school activities during these hours not use the private business parking lot next to Gina’s Deli on Post St. This parking lot is really needed for their patrons. Thank you for your consideration. Jack Higson


Fall Sunday School
We are currently recruiting for our fall Sunday School classes. If you love God and love children, we have a spot for you. All classes have teams
of adults to allow some flexibility for our adults and consistency for our children. We have great curriculum and good teacher training. We pair up
experienced teachers with new teachers. Call Sophie if you are interested in helping.
