Our Easter Gifts Support the Fellowship Fund
In gratitude for God’s greatest gift in Christ Jesus, please consider making a gift to the River Road Church Fellowship Fund this Easter in honor or memory of a loved one. In lieu of purchasing Easter lilies, your gift will allow the Fellowship Fund to support those in financial crisis in the Richmond metro area and will be listed with others in the worship bulletin on Easter Sunday. Designated Easter Gift envelopes are in the pew racks.
You may make your gift in cash, by check (note “Easter Gift” in the memo line), or online (select “Easter Gift” from the dropdown) using the QR code on the envelope or in the bulletin. Please note your chosen wording for the bulletin listing on the Easter Gift envelope, include it in a note with your gift, or send it by email to info@rrcb.org. The deadline for your gift to be included in the bulletin is Wednesday, March 20. Thank you for your gifts to the Fellowship Fund!
The Fellowship Fund is administered by the Board of Missions to assist those in the Richmond community in financial crisis. It is sustained through the ongoing contributions of the congregation of River Road Church. Since 2022, the Fellowship Fund has gifted more than $130,000 to ACTS (Area Churches Together in Service) for their work to prevent homelessness and to CrossOver Healthcare Ministry to care for and support their clients. Our contribution to ACTS in 2023 assisted 59 family units—153 individuals, including 81 children and seven seniors—by helping with housing and utility payments. Our 2023 contribution to CrossOver helped to purchase hygiene kits, stock the mini-food pantry, purchase needed gift cards to food stores, and support the refugee and newcomer clinic. Thank you for caring for our community through the Fellowship Fund!
