You try to come to church on Sunday mornings when you can, and you think you might want to check out a Community Group at Riverbend (or maybe you even try to attend one), but trying to cram all of that into Sunday every week is not always possible for you or your family. If you've had that experience, you'll want to check out Wednesday Nights at Riverbend. WEDNESDAY NIGHTS ARE FOR EVERYONE Wednesday Nights are a casual opportunity for us to gather, enjoy dinner and conversation with otherS, and explore our faith journey in community. And everyone is welcome — we have groups and activities for all ages, including care for babies and toddlers, a kid's program that your pre K–elementary age kids will love, and programs that will challenge and encourage your 6th–12th graders. The Young Adults Group (More) will be meeting on Thursdays at 7:30PM. HOW DOES IT WORK? Starting at 5:45PM we gather for a meal that's priced to be affordable for everyone — definitely cheaper than trying to eat out. And each week's dinner is prepared in our commercial-grade kitchen and served buffet style. Check-in for all programs for kids, birth–12th grade, will start at 6:30PM. Then, around 6:45PM, we’ll hear a short lesson from a Riverbend leader based on the previous Sunday’s message. In this lesson we’ll take a deeper dive into Sunday’s message which was given by Dave Haney, Travis Taylor, Stephanie Rollins, or Nick Steinloski. At 7:00PM we’ll break into smaller groups where we’ll have an extended time of conversation and connection. We’ll have groups available for men, women, and couples, plus deep-dive study groups. Or, if you're looking for something a little more creative, feel free to sing in rehearsal with the Riverbend Choir, which meets in the Chapel. We’ll wrap up around 8:00PM. Schedule: Each Wednesday JAN 17 - FEB 28, 2024. HOW DO I SIGN UP? There’s no need to sign up for the lesson or groups in advance — simply show up. However, if you want to enjoy dinner, we encourage you to register in advance and pay for your meal. Registering will help us make sure we prepare enough food for the evening.
