Please join us Sundays in person at 9:30 or 11 am, or online at 11:00 am. There will be Nursery, Preschool, and Kids Ministry groups at both services. Those joining us in person have the option of socially distanced seating. You are welcome to wear a mask, but it is not required, and you do not need to register. NOTE: We will move to one service at 10:00 am during the summer, from June 26th to September 4th inclusive.
Celebration Sunday Every year we celebrate our church's Community Outreach work with a special worship service at RiverCross Church (at 9:30 and 11:00 am), followed by a Community BBQ at RiverCross Mission, 211 Main Street North, at noon. This BBQ is a huge event, often attracting 400+ people, with music, fun games for kids, face painting and lots of party food. Please join us this Sunday June 12th for both the worship service and the BBQ. Click here for the location of RiverCross (Hope) Mission. Festivities will be in the parking lot at the corner of Metcalf and Durham Streets so parking is on the surrounding streets only.
Hope Mission The Hope Mission is now open Tuesday mornings for breakfast from 9:30 to 11:30, prepared and served as people arrive. This is in addition to the Thursday morning program and lunch.
Father’s Day Fun Night You are invited to bring your Dad for a night of fun and friendly competition on Wednesday June 15th from 6:00-8:00 pm at RiverCross Church! This event will be hosted by an awesome father and son duo, and you won't want to miss it. Families will work together to complete tasks to earn points and win prizes. Please register here if you'd like to join the celebration. Hope to see you there!
Ladies Dessert Potluck We would love for you to join us for a Ladies Dessert Potluck on Thursday, June 23rd from 6:30 to 8:00 pm at Rivercross Church. This informal evening will be a great chance to visit and re-connect with friends, and to meet some new ones. Please bring a dessert or fruit tray to share. If you have a dietary restriction, please bring something you can enjoy. Coffee, tea, and punch will be provided. You can register at the Welcome Centre or online here. We hope to see you there!
Contact Dale in the church office for further information (642-8060 or marlee.rivercross@gmail.com).
Summer Ministries We have a lot of exciting things planned for youth, children, and families this summer! You can find the links for info and registration here. If you want to volunteer and be a part of making summer 2022 awesome, please email sandikilleen@gmail.com or amylbax@gmail.com, or call 642-8060.
“Change for Jesus” Christian camps are re-opening this summer, and we are once again raising money to sponsor children, youth and families to attend through our "Change for Jesus" campaign. We typically raise enough money to send more than 30 people, which is quite remarkable considering the cost is over $300/person! Please prayerfully consider how you as an individual, family, or Life Group can financially support this important summer ministry. You can give a gift of any amount and designate it "Change for Jesus" in whatever giving option you choose. (Click here and scroll down) Thanks!
Furniture Needed We are looking for a nice dresser and a shoe rack for a new family. If anyone is able to help, please contact Pastor Joe at joepage6@gmail.com
Thank You RiverCross Family! Because of your generosity we now have all the items needed for the Sultani family. Please pray for them, as we anticipate their arrival soon. Thanks again for your support.
Administrative Assistant Update We want to let the congregation know that Marlee Learmonth has decided to take her full twelve months of maternity leave, not the six months she had originally planned. We are grateful that Dale Taber has agreed to stay on until the completion of Marlee’s leave on December 19th.

The Brook (Middle School Youth Group) on Tuesdays from 6:00-8:00 pm
