Coronavirus Updates
At the continued recommendation for practicing social distancing (or as we like to say, physical distancing, since we can still socially be connected!), as well as to protect the at-risk and most vulnerable among us, we will be continuing with online-only worship until further notice. All other events in our building are canceled at this time. While we are sad we won’t be able to physically be together for the time being, we hope you have been as encouraged as us through our time together “virtually.”
Online Worship
Join us for worship live online Sundays at 9am!
rKids Resources
Hey parents, this is such a weird time to be parenting in. Trying to keep routine and normalcy for our kids during an unprecedented time feels near impossible. To try to support you in creating some sort of ‘normal’ we wanted to help bring rKids to your home. Below you will find access to the teaching videos and a home based activity that would have been used in our rKids classroom. You will also find a resource for you regarding how to have conversations and meet your child’s deepest needs through crisis conversations.
Student Ministries
On-site youth Group is canceled until further notice.
Find details on how students can stay connected at richwoods.org/studentevents.
Coronavirus Response
We want to be available to provide compassionate, listening ears. If you are feeling anxious, discouraged, overwhelmed, lonely, or just want someone to pray with you; we have a team of people who would love to come alongside you to offer a listening ear and prayer. Contact us at the church office (309) 691-5252 or email care@richwoods.org.
If you are in a high-risk group due to age or compromised immune system, we want to be a resource to you. Or, if you are not in a high-risk group and able to help us with needs that arise during this unique season, we are forming a volunteer team to receive requests for help.
