Help Needed!

Being a parent is hard work. Finding childcare is even harder! We are in need of Volunteers for Childcare for our upcoming events at Riverwood. If you are interested in being a blessing to our parents by watching their kiddos while they participate in these events, please contact us or email rooted@riverwoodcovenant.org. We will send you the sign-up sheet for all of our upcoming events. Thank you for your servant’s heart!

We need youth volunteers too!.

When the weather outside is frightful … Winter is upon us and there will be times it is too cold, too snowy, too icy and too unsafe to be out traveling. Riverwood cares about you and your safety. When we make the decision to cancel events at church or worship service we want to make sure you have plenty of ways to find out before you head out. We will communicate our cancelations in multiple ways.

Post a message on Facebook.
Send out an email. – To ensure we have your correct email address please email office@riverwoodcovenant.org.
Post on front page of website (when possible).
Announce on WCCO Radio/TV/Online.
Announce on KTIS.

*We may not always communicate in ALL these ways but as many as possible

Riverwood is delightful …

But please remember, just because church is open does not mean you have to be here. We understand that everyone has different levels of comfort traveling in snow and cold. We also know that everyone’s road conditions where they live can be dramatically different. We value your safety first and foremost! Cancelation/closure deadline times: All weekday church events will be canceled if the local schools cancel and/or after school activities. We will communicate our closing also through the five communication steps listed below. For Saturday and Sunday services – this decision will be made by the Pastor and will be communicated following the communication steps below. The decision will be based upon current conditions and forecasted conditions because of the need to have our parking lot and sidewalks cleared. The decision may also be based on temperature alone as we care about the safety of people traveling when the road conditions are poor because it is so cold that the salt on roads does not work properly.
