The Riverview Council met Wednesday evening to discuss our future in light of the guidelines from the Center for Disease Control & Prevention. 

After prayer and discussion we arrived at these decisions:

1. Riverview will cancel all services for the immediate future.  We expect this to last “at least” the next two Sundays – and will not be surprised if this “15 Days to Slow the Spread” is extended.  We will continue to monitor the situation and will LET YOU KNOW when we will meet again for services.

2. We Pastors will conduct a Sunday Worship Service and it will be “broadcast” over our internet website.  You will be able to worship with us beginning at about 9:45 am.  We will follow our “normal pattern” with singing, Scripture, prayer and message.  We will email a “bulletin” to you so you can follow along as normal if you wish.  You can watch this on your computer, smartphone or device that allows access to the internet.  The service is NOT taped so it can only be watched LIVE as it is happening.  

ALSO, at 7:30 am on WROI, 92.1 fm, you can hear the Riverview Community At Worship program for the next 3 Sundays. 

3. Even though we are not meeting at the church we still WANT to be able to minister to you.  Of course we want to know of any prayer requests you have.  Also PLEASE call one of us if you have needs we can help with or if we can recruit some help for you.  And this would include getting groceries for you, taking you to the Doctor, picking-up your medicines – you get the idea.  BUT REMEMBER we are not mind-readers and won’t know your needs unless you or someone tells us.  Don’t hesitate.

ADDITIONALLY, members of the Council will also be making contact to greet you and chat and learn of any requests for assistance you have.  This is just another means of keeping in contact with the Riverview Family.

4. Finally, many of the expenses of our church will continue to be paid.  So we request that you continue to support Riverview with your tithes & offerings.  Of course we will not be “passing-the-plate,” so we suggest you mail your check or drop-it-off.  You may mail it to Deb Cloud or Kay Horn or drop-it-off at one of their houses.  

THANK YOU for reading through all this. 

PLEASE ASK if you have questions. 

PLEASE PRAY for one another and our Church ministry.

PLEASE PRAY for the rapid passing of this crisis.

PLEASE PRAY for our country and those making decisions.

We are praying for YOU!
