Backpack Drive

  • Google Calendar ICS

Our annual backpack drive will be kicking off on June 22, 2025. While summer has just started, the new school year will be here before we know it. The Women of Worship (WOW) committee will organize the Backpack Drive again this year to benefit children who utilize the Eureka Food Pantry and for those who are recognized as needing assistance to make the start of the school year a joyous time.

This event will look a little differently this year. We have backpacks that have been graciously donated therefore, we are requesting donations of general school supplies only.

Beginning on Sunday, June 22nd through July 25th there will be a tree set up in the Commons Area with tags noting a specific supply on them. You are welcome to select more than one (1) tag. Please return the tag in the box located below the tree once your donated item(s) have been purchased and dropped off at church.

Please drop off school supply donations by SUNDAY, JULY 27th PRIOR TO 11:00 A.M. There will be a supply collection bin labeled, "ANNUAL BACKPACK DRIVE" to place donations in.

Thank you for being a part of this annual event which assists families with making sure their children have the basic supplies needed for the new school year.

Please contact events@the-river.church with questions.

Blue Christmas

Blue Christmas Service

Wednesday, December 18, 2024 at 7 pm

Though Christmas is undeniably a season of joyous festivities, it can also stir memories of heartrending losses, particularly as we confront the stark reality of vacant chairs at the dinner table. Our Blue Christmas Service offers a sacred space and time where one can bring their grief, their sense of loss, their solitude, and their disappointments into the comforting presence of Jesus. In this sacred space, we courageously acknowledge our sorrow, we pay heartfelt tribute to those who are no longer physically present with us, and we reaffirm the profound hope that we find in Jesus.
