Riviera UMC E-Letter October 29, 2026
Hello Riviera Friends & Family!
With the last couple of days of the patch, kids' activities, and a busy week, I want to share a few reminders and encourage you to join us for worship on Sunday.
- We still need volunteers for the final two days of the Pumpkin Patch! Please help us finish strong, especially on Friday, October 30. Click the link below to volunteer: https://volunteersignup.org/C3TMK
- Time change is Saturday night; enjoy an extra hour with the kids and trick-or-treating!
- Charge Conference is tonight at Seminole UMC, 5400 Seminole Blvd, Seminole, FL 33772 @ 6:30 pm. Join us for a special worship service as we pray over our leaders for the next year.
- Pumpkin Smash is Sunday Night! Join us for hot dogs, smashing pumpkins (the action, not the band), and a great time @ 6 pm!
Sunday will be a special service as we will remember the saints that have passed away this year, honor their love and service to our church, and come to the table of communion. We'll read Matthew 23:1-12 as we move into the final part of our sermon series, Like, Follow & Subscribe.
I look forward to seeing you Sunday, in-person or online!
Grace & Peace,
Pastor Augie
