Have you ever been in a season of life where doubt, grief, or pain are almost overwhelming? It can quickly feel like the light of our hope is giving way to the darkness of our circumstances. But does loss write the end of our story, or does God? This Easter Sunday, we invite you join us as we explore how we can experience the freedom and hope that God offers us.

No matter where you are in your journey – how dark, or light, your life may feel – Riverbend is here to welcome you. Our three identical Easter services will feature moving worship, uplifting music, and thought-provoking teaching from our Senior Pastor, Dr. Dave Haney.

Join us for Easter Lunch
after the 11:30AM Service

You’re invited to a delicious free Easter Lunch on the patio after the 11:30 am service. We will have games and crafts for the kids and kids at heart, including face painting, a balloon artist, and more. Be sure to invite your friends and neighbors!

Reflect with our Good Friday Services

MAR 28, 2024 @ 7:00 & 8:00PM
MAR 29, 2024 @ 6:00, *7:00, 8:00, & 9:00PM
In-person in the Chapel

Free tickets required for in-person admittance.

Our Good Friday service is a multi-sensory immersion that is almost impossible to put into words — you have to experience it for yourself. Following a reflective time of music and teaching, you’ll have the opportunity to go on a prayer walk leading you through the events of Christ’s life, culminating in his death on the cross.

* Childcare is available at the 7:00PM service on Friday evening only.
Email skennedy@riverbend.com to register your child.

MAR 28, 2024 @ 7:00PM
In-person in the Community Center

Experience a Symbolic Passover Meal*. Led by Pastor to Sr.’s, Dean Busboom, participants will have the opportunity to experience The Passover Seder (say-der) - the oldest and most important religious festival in Judaism, commemorating God’s deliverance of the Hebrews from slavery in Egypt and his creation of the Israelite people. Passover was also celebrated by Jesus as told in the Gospel accounts of the Last Supper in the Upper Room.

Following the Seder, participants may choose to register separately for the 8PM Good Friday Service and Garden Experience. Register now as there is limited seating and availability. May this event transform your Holy Week experience.

(*Note: This is not a full meal; rather a pared down, symbolic Seder.)

Space is limited.

Ash Wednesday Services

Wednesday FEB 14 @ 7AM | 12PM | 6PM In the Chapel

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, a 40-day season centered on repentance, prayer and surrender. During the season of Lent we are reminded of the brokenness of humanity, and our desperate need for a savior. Our Ash Wednesday Services will be a sacred time of music and worship designed to prepare us for the spiritual journey towards Good Friday and Easter.

Download Our FREE
2024 Lenten Devotional

We invite you to download the 2024 Lenten Season Devotional. Each devotion was thoughtfully written by a Riverbend staff member and is designed to bring you into communion with the Passion Story of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as revealed through the Holy Scriptures. Engage with these daily readings and practices beginning Ash Wednesday through to Easter Sunday.
