Welcome to River Park Church! Welcome to worship! Today’s service is different from our usual as we have opportunity to share our worship with our children and join in fellowship in small groups for a hands-on and conversational activity as an entire congregation of worshipers. Worshipers will be given a tag for the grouping upon entering the sanctuary. No ‘exchanging’! Please stay with your assigned group.
