Other Groups 

Prayer Shawl Group

It’s a comfort to draw a warm crocheted or knitted blanket around the shoulders of someone grieving, or a new mother. Join this group to help create shawls to be given as gifts by Pastor Vicky. To learn more, contact Nancy Pavlenko.

Quilting Group

We have a Riverside tradition of creating a personalized quilt for each graduating high school senior.

Sewers are needed, but so are those who can simply iron and organize quilt pieces.

To find out more, contact master quilter Kim Vogel

Art and Spirit Circle

When we can meet together, we create art, such as family altars, crowns, mandalas. Like so many things at Riverside, no experience required! For more information on upcoming Art and Spirit Circles (when we can circle together again) contact Karen Harding.
