As a small-town church, we have big ideas for reaching and teaching people about Jesus.

The Big Give is our annual budget fundraiser to supplement what our budget can’t pay for, and when we have a low month of giving.

To raise $25,000 by May 31

Our annual budget is $130,000 which pays for staff, operations, and supplies.

The Big Give pays for events,  improvements and resources.

Put your check or cash inside an giving envelope and check “The Big Give” box.

Give online at: www.riverks.com/thebiggive

FYI: If every giver in our church gave an extra one-time donation of $250 or more per family, we would easily reach our goal.

As your pastor and friend I want to personally thank you for the generous ways you donate your time, and money to support The River.

Many of you serve in multiple ways, and give as you feel led. I believe this is what it means to participate in the mission of Jesus “to seek and save the lost” in your local church.

We need more workers and givers just like you. And, you have demonstrated more times than I can count just how valuable you are.

We will continue to do big things for Jesus because you give and serve Jesus through The River.

Love and appreciate all of you,

Rusty
