Diaper Donations
We are always accepting diaper and wipes donations for Options for Women-St. Croix Valley. As a church we're not anti-abortion but PRO-LIFE, and try to back that up by helping out mothers who choose life for their child. This is an easy way to do that. Organizationally we support Options with a monthly monetary donation, but diapers are one item they always need to help support the mothers relying on their services. Whenever you are shopping and pick some up, drop them off with Pastor Greg the next time you come to RVCC and he will make sure they get to OFW. According to their website, the most needed supplies right now are size 5 & 6 diapers, wipes, diaper ointment, and baby lotion and wash.

2025 Daily Bible Reading Plan
One of our top goals as a church is always to help you keep up on (or get into) a daily Bible reading habit.
As a church body on January 1, 2025 we started a 1-year Bible reading plan! The plan we are following this year is "The Bible in a Year", with readings from OT and NT every day, and a chapter from Psalms or Proverbs every second day.
Connect with us and access this plan in the YouVersion Bible App to get notifications for the day's reading directly from the app. (Future plans should be available within our church app! That will be nice, huh?)
Get into the daily habit now, even if it's not this particular program! We want you to get the WORD in YOU! Contact Pastor Greg in the church office if you have questions.
