Christmas Offering   Several weeks ago, we announced that RiverCross Church will be sending a Mission Team to El Salvador in late 2023. This is a very exciting opportunity! This team of 8 - 10 people will partner with Bruno and Kathleen Soucy, Latin America Team Leaders for Canadian Baptist Ministries, and together, over a two-week period, the team will be involved in local church work in both rural and urban settings in the country. The cost of this mission experience will be approximately $3500 per person. We as a congregation have committed to helping meet these financial costs both through regular giving to the church, and by supporting fundraiser events. Our Christmas Offering this year will be a first step in meeting this commitment. Please be prayerfully thinking about how you might financially contribute to supporting our church's El Salvador Mission Team through the Christmas Offering. Thanks! 
 
Deadline for 2022 Giving   Just a heads up that all donations to RiverCross Church must be received at the church no later than tomorrow, Friday December 30th at 12 noon. (Click here for details on ways to give).
 
Giving Envelopes   If you would like to give your donations to the church using offering envelopes in 2023, you can pick them up from the church office through the week or from the Welcome Centre on Sundays. Please email elaine.rivercross@gmail.com or call the church office to request them if you haven’t already. If you normally give by debit or E-Transfer, you do not need envelopes; you just need to provide your current mailing address to Elaine so she can send you a charitable tax receipt.  (Receipts for 2022 will be sent by the end of February 2023).
 
Bruno and Kathleen Soucy Prayer Requests    This winter we will be sharing prayer requests/ thanksgiving from our Partners in Mission, Bruno and Kathleen Soucy, who serve as Latin American Team Leaders for CBM. A full prayer list is available at the Welcome Centre.  Click here for their bio and to learn more.  “This week, please pray for us as we seek God’s direction for new staff, and for the new leaders who have emerged in our Bolivian partnership.”
 
We want to give you the opportunity to meet your church family, and what better way, then over a meal!  As our congregation continues to change, it's important to get to know each other, so we are hosting an event called Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner, where someone opens their home to host a meal, and then we fill your table with guests you may not know.  Then, on the weekend of January 28/29 you will share a meal with some people from your church family.  Our preference is that these meals take place at lunch (1pm), after the Sunday service on January 29th, but if that dates does not work, then you could meet on Saturday, January 28th for supper (5:30). You can register to Host or Participate. For more information or to register click here.
