I donÆt know about you--but I am more excited about belonging to
the
Body of Christ today than I ever have been in my entire life.

And I am especially excited about belonging to this particular
Body of
Believers called Riverside Baptist Church.

This is a glorious, glorious day in the life of our church.
This is a
history-making day. It is the first time ever that all the
various
congregations which make up Riverside Baptist Church have come
together
for one majestic morning of praise and worship.

I want to say a special word of welcome to our sister/satellite
congregations that join us for worship today:
First Vietnamese
Riverside Romanian
Emmanuel at Riverside
Riverside North
Riverside South
Calvary Road Ministries (Church of Cyclers/Body of Bikers)

Welcome to Riverside Central! In the name of Jesus Christ we
welcome you--our brothers and sisters in Christ.

Secondly, I want to say a special word of personal welcome to
all
Riverside Pastors:
John Negru--Romanian Pastor
Bac Le--Vietnamese Pastor
Richard Vera--Emmanuel Pastor
Joe Holman--Riverside North Pastor
Kirk Youngblood--Riverside South Pastor.
