April 6 2025 Worship and Prayer 7:00pm - 8:00pm

Please join us in for another evening of worship and prayer. This time we are focussing on praying for 'Guidance and Direction'. There are three areas we will focus our prayer: personally, for us as a church, and for our nation. You may be at a crossroads or really wanting to hear God's direction for you personally; you may want to add your prayers for Riverside regarding our next steps; or want to intercede for the leaders of our nation as they navigate these challenging times.

Please come and add your voice to others as we worship and pray.

"The purpose of prayer isn't to get God to do our will. The purpose of prayer is to know God so we can do His will" Craig Groeschel

April 26 2025 Alpha 9:30am - 11:00am Riverside Centre

Stay Curious. Try Alpha.

Alpha is a series of group conversations that freely explore the basics of the Christian faith in an open, friendly environment. Everyone's welcome. No matter your background or beliefs, you're invited.

Life is better together. Alpha brings together people from all walks of life who are curious about faith. Each session starts with some time to eat, relax and get to know your group.

Each session covers a different topic of faith, either in a short talk or video. The Alpha episodes are designed to engage and inspire conversation. They're about thirty minutes long and explore the big issues around faith and unpack the basics of Christianity, addressing questions such as Who is Jesus?How can we have faith? and How does God guide us?

The last part of an Alpha is a chance to share your thoughts on the session's topic and discuss it in your small groups. It's an open and welcoming environment, no matter what your opinion. There's no pressure to say anything, but the floor is yours if you do want to.
