Men's Forum
The goal of the Men's Forum is to provide a biblically based group support for
any men. The Men's Forum meets in the church parlor from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30
a.m. on Tuesday mornings. The group provides a safe forum for sharing
thoughts, feelings, concerns and joys, all on a volunteer basis. The men
individually sign up to volunteer to lead the group study and discussion of a bible
passage selected several months ahead. The biblical lessons often stimulate
personal sharing of events in men's lives. There are no officers, no hierarchy, no
dues, and no attendance is recorded. Volunteers provide free coffee. The
group is ecumenical and welcomes any visitors. There is no obligation to attend,
and participation in discussion is optional. For more information, contact Dennis
Sadilek.
Women's Forum
The Women's Forum is an open forum for women of any denomination utilizing
the scriptures and other inspirational writings as a catalyst for conversation,
sharing and caring. The Women's Forum meets on Thursdays from 6:30 to 7:30
a.m. in the Church Parlor.
Presbyterian Women
The Riverside Presbyterian Women's meetings are in recess for the summer.
Plan to join us for our first Bible Study meeting of the 2010-2011 year on
Wednesday, September 22, at 10:00 a.m. in the RPC Social Hall. The topic for
the study will be "Journeys Through Revelation, Apocalyptic Hope for Today," by
Barbara R. Rossing.
July 4 ▪ No class
July 11 ▪ Small Group Ministries
Pastor Scott Jansen will teach a new process known as “mutual invitation” and
some of the guiding principles that should be used for any small group ministry.
Whether you are interested in a Bible study, a book study, a mission board, or
any other small group, this class will help you learn how to facilitate such
meetings using some of the latest innovations. We will also practice the process
with a mini-Bible study ourselves.
July 18 ▪ Colombia Mission Trip
The Board of Deacons at Riverside Presbyterian Church is helping sponsor
activities of the Chicago Presbytery's Congregations in Solidarity with Latin
America (CSLA), which is organizing a fact-finding mission trip to Colombia this
summer (July 23-August 1). Richard Crang will be the RPC representative on
that mission, and will be speaking at the Human Scene on July 18 about the
historical and current background of Colombia, which has developed serious
political, religious, human rights. and narco-trafficking problems of international
concern. In addition, he will be seeking your input prior to the mission trip.
July 25 ▪ Informal Discussion, led by church member Matt Lisle.
