Basket Night - 11/26/08

We just want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to each and everyone of you who served with us one Wed. night. Whether you helped sort food at Gleaners Food Bank or delivered Thanksgiving meals to families in need, your service was truly a blessing to others in our community. The fact that you took time out of your holiday to to be the hands of feet of Jesus is proof that people at The River are not satisfied with just "going" to church, but we want to "be" the church. Your willingness to serve and show God's compassion to others is humbling and inspiring. Thank you for your servant hearts.

Upcoming October Project

Due to the storms that rolled through during the summer, all of the horse trails that the boys use throughout the summer have fallen trees on them. Therefore we need as MANY CHAINSAWS & WEED-WHACKERS that we can get our hands on for this event.

The boys were not able to ride the horses all summer due to the fallen trees & over-growth that is consuming their trails.

As well we could use rakes, shovels, clippers, hedgers, tree saws, etc. Please be sure to mark them clearly with your name.

Seneca Street

September 27th, we worked on Seneca Street in Pontiac. Seneca Street is part of Grace Centers of Hope, it is part of their approach to ending and preventing homelessness by weaving together supportive services, safe and affordable housing, and neighborhood revitalization efforts.
