Welcome! We are so glad that you are here. You can follow along with the talk here and add your own notes. Right below here you can see what is going on at The River.

Let us know if there is anything we can do to better serve you. Oh, if you haven't done so already, remember to head to your favorite social media platform to let everyone know you are here by checking in or following and liking ours!

We would love to meet you! Bring your Connection Card and stop by the Connection Room across from the Worship Center. We have a free gift for you, too!

We want you to be connected with others at the River! Whether it's doing things with people who have similar interests, joining a Bible study or community group, or serving. Contact our Director of Connections and Small Groups at leslie@hittheriver.com and she'll make it happen!

Community doesn’t happen by accident. It requires commitment, time, patience, humility, and old-fashioned hard work. Christians who are part of community tend to walk closely with God throughout their lives. Those who are isolated from community tend to make bigger mistakes and are far more likely to give up one their faith. Join a community group today! Contact Leslie@hittheriver.com to connect!

The new quarterly daily devotionals are in! You can grab one from the credenza on your way out today or stop by the Connections Room to pick up a free copy.

Do you play an instrument, love to run audio equipment, or know someone that does? We are in need of musicians to join our worship team. If you're interested, please contact our worship director to audition by emailing Mystique@hittheriver.com.
