Join us for worship Sunday, in-person and virtually (YouTube) at 10 AM. Read the sermon scriptures (below) in advance and send me your questions, ponderings, and discoveries. They just might make it into the sermon! [Email: pastor@riversidedc.org]
This Sunday, I'll be preaching about a woman who had the righteous nerve to demand that she and her daughter be treated with dignity and respect--and she did that by challenging Jesus!
Are you interested in formally becoming a member of our community?
Here at Riverside DC, we welcome new members into our community quarterly at our congregational meeting. Being a member at Riverside is not about following a creed or requiring you to be baptized or give a certain amount of money. Membership here is about community. We want to walk with you through the many seasons of your life, and for you feel like this place is home. And we want you to walk with us--to change us for the better, and to help us carry out Jesus' mission of liberation.
At Riverside, our one law is love of God and neighbor. Justice matters, so we celebrate gender equality, racial diversity, and inclusion of all persons no matter their sexual orientation or gender identity. We draw the circle of God’s love large. You’re included.
Our next congregational meeting is Sunday, April 30, 2023 after worship.
New here and want to know more about us?

Join us for the relaunch of our grief group. This is a co-facilitated space that is for all who are experiencing grief and loss of any kind.
At this gathering, we will discuss how frequently participants would like to meet and if there is interest in a virtual option.
While this group aims to be a resource for our community, it is not meant to be a substitute for a relationship with a licensed health professional. Email Rev. Mia at pastor@riversidedc.org for additional resources.
