DECEMBER
ACT OF KINDNESS:
Joyfully Give a Special Gift
The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 9:15, “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!” First of all, praise and thank the Lord God for giving us the wonderful gift of His Son! Second, show the love of Christ to someone who needs Jesus by joyfully giving them a special gift this Christmas season! Be sure to include a Gospel tract and pray God will bring them to Christ!
DECEMBER
MEMORY VERSES:
1 John 4:7-11
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God, for God is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.
DECEMBER
OFFERING VERSES:
Matthew 6:19-21
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven…For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

1 Timothy 2:1–4
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

The mission and purpose of Riverview Community Church is to proclaim the truth of Jesus Christ and share His love.
To proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and make disciples who follow Him!
To exhort and train believers to come to spiritual maturity whereby they can proclaim the Gospel to others.
To make a difference in our community with the truth of God's Word and His love.

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, the final authority for faith and life, inerrant in the original writings, infallible and God-breathed.
We believe the Godhead eternally exists in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; that these three are one God.
We believe Jesus Christ, the eternal God, was born of the virgin, lived a sinless life, redeemed sinful men through His death on the cross, and rose from the dead on the third day.
We believe salvation is the gift of God to man by grace and it is received by personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe the Holy Spirit is the Divine Teacher who guides believers into all truth for spiritual growth and maturation.
We believe all the Believers are to live godly, consistent Christian lives.
We believe it is the duty of Believers to witness to others by life and by word the Gospel and truths of the Bible.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of all men, the saved to eternal life, and the unsaved to judgment and everlasting punishment.
We believe in the personal, imminent coming of the Lord Jesus Christ for His redeemed ones. He is coming again!
