We will have a potluck style meal together and hear about what the Lord has been doing at River City and discuss plans for next year. We will also have a corporate prayer time and sing a hymn together. Please join us for this meeting and bring a dish to share if you are able.

In 2024, we plan to begin a study of the book of Acts. Before the New Year, it would be fitting to look at the end of the Gospel of Luke (Luke 24:36-53), as it serves as something of a prelude or preface to the book of Acts. Luke wrote both of these volumes, and so it is best when they are read together. Luke ends with the ascension of Christ, and Acts provides a little more detail on the ascension. Also, the end of Luke challenges us to have a deeper understanding of Scripture and specifically a better understanding of the Old Testament. Will we, in the new year, commit ourselves to a deeper understanding of the Word of God?
Join us this Lord’s Day at River City ARP for worship at 9820 W Markham St. (the sanctuary of Faith United Methodist Church). We meet at 9 AM. For more information, click here, or contact us. You can also watch our service on YouTube with a link posted to our Facebook page.
