Coming in February
30th December
We’re going on a journey of spiritual growth. A journey that will help us to become not only hearers of the Word, but DO-ers of the word. For six weeks, the entire Soul Rio family will immerse ourselves in the same curriculum, from toddlers to those in our “golden years.” We’ll explore the authenticity, reliability, power, comfort, interpretation and doing of God’s Word. Host homes will hold concurrent small group studies most days throughout the week–we encourage you to find and join a group. Make this six week commitment to come to services each week, to join a small group. Contact the office for more information at 792-8737. Love the Word. Learn the Word. LIVE the Word.
Celebrate Recovery
12th December
Hurts, habits, hangups–everyone has them. Because we live in a fallen world, we’re exposed to things that beat us up and cause us to distance our relationship from God and others. Join us Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. for our Christ-centered recovery.
