Another beautiful day... how can I help?

As we approach another September Sunday in the Ozarks, God continues to bless us. Sunday will be another great worship experience at Riverside, as we commune with each other and the Lord around the table... Randy Willingham will deliver the lesson and our life groups will have their 3rd meeting of the season as we continue to 'Outflow'.

I continue to hear great testimonies from my friends at Riverside as we concentrate on serving others... Mike has done a terrific job with the Wednesday night 'outflow' class, which has served as a foundation for our Life Group focus. Each group is crystallizing its vision for the service project(s) it will take on... The teen life group is growing in number and in spiritual maturity...

And His Holy Spirit continues to reveal to us numerous opportunities to live out our faith, both individually and collectively...

Our Monday night men's Bible study is awesome! The first week, 14 men met and prayed and studied... last Monday night, 19 men met and prayed and studied and watched a little Monday night Football (and ate Neil's fish & shrimp couvillon)...

Lynn and Joy continue their incredible ministry in Volcan, Panama... and we continue to pray and share in that terrific ministry...

and all the while, I perceive the Spirit is leading the Riverside body and its members on this wonderful, complicated journey toward greater service and deeper love for each other and for those in our community...

....what an exciting time to be alive and living in the kingdom... what a great time to be a part of this wonderful experiment called the Riverside Church!

Blessings!
