Please consider parking toward the back of the lot to allow available space for visitors this summer. !One Worship Service at 9:48AM: River Rock will hold ONE Worship Service at 9:48am through Sunday, September 11 ~ 9:48 “For” Community.

For it is the one who is least among you all who is the greatest.” !Sunday Message Podcasts: River Rock's Sunday messages are now available as pod casts!
