October 25 - Fall Fest
Join us at The River's Fall Festival on October 25 from 1-3 PM! Our festival will kick off with Trunk or Treat from 1-1:45 and inflatables, face painting, crafts, games, and food will be available all afternoon. Invite friends, family, and neighbors to join you for some free fall fun! Several volunteers are needed in various areas and so are trunks! Trunks participating in Trunk or Treat do not need to register, but we ask that you provide enough candy for 200 kids and please no spooky, scary, or non-church-friendly themes. If you are interested in volunteering during the festival, please go to HitTheRiver.com. We will see you there!

October 26 - Child Dedication
We will be having a Baby & Child Dedication during both of our services. If you have never publicly declared your commitment to raising your child to become a Christ-follower, than we want to encourage you to sign-up at HitTheRiver.com for our next Child Dedication service!
