Fill My CUP

Shakopee

Wednesday at 7:00 PM • Virtual

We will meet weekly via Virtually and come to the table that God has prepared for us. God Has said come and dine, we can also recline at His Table. This table has everything we need in abundance. To join the meeting on Google Meet or open Meet and enter this code: tmd-tytn-nqk I recently had a vision of a Tall Cup and a Ladder with a song ("Fill my CUP" ) August 2023. I Believe God spoke to me and said change the Name of the small Group to" Fill My Cup", because as people click on, I will fill their Spirit with my Word, My Spirit and my Presence. God wants us to experience an overflowing Life of His Presence. Come join each Wednesday and we approach the Throne of Heaven and allow God to fill our soul to Overflow. Hope to see you on each Wednesday night 7pm to 8pm. Only 1 hour If any problems call or text: 6124235337

Men’s Group – ‘Explore’

Shakopee

Tuesday at 6:00 AM

Hello! We meet at River Valley Shakopee on Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30am. Starting Jan. 9, 2024, we will start a new series called Explore, one of the core discipleship groups at River Valley Church. Using a study curriculum called "Xplore", we will embark upon a 7-lesson study to help believers discover the biblical theme of God’s global purpose, the task remaining in frontier missions, major world religions, and how they can participate in God’s global purpose, no matter their location or vocation.

Empower | Pat + Angela Franey | Winter 2024

Woodbury

Thursday at 7:00 PM

There is nothing more exciting than living a Spirit-filled, empowered life! This eight-week Bible study will instruct, encourage and inspire you to walk in all that Jesus has made available to you through the infilling of the Holy Spirit and the gifts that He imparts. These gifts are vital and need to be used in order to be effective witnesses for Him. In this study you will learn about the unseen world, which is called the Spirit realm. Even though we don't see it with our physical eyes, we interact with it on a daily basis. You will also learn in detail about each of the nine gifts of the Spirit how they are used throughout the Old and New Testament by ordinary people. Finally, you will have the opportunity to deepen your relationship with the Lord through the lessons on prayer and intercession. Empower will meet every Thursday beginning February 8th through April 4th, 7:00pm to 8:30pm. Please note*** It is strongly recommended that you attend Alpha before attending Empower.

Do you love to cook and want to use your culinary talents to bless others in this way? Then join our Meal Train Ministry to be added to the email list and get notified when meals are needed for a Shakopee Campus family! Thanks for being the hands and feet of Jesus!

Alpha is a place to connect with other people who are open to exploring life, faith, and meaning. Each session includes a time to connect with others over a free meal, hear a short talk on an element of the Christian faith, and then a chance for each person to share their own questions with the group. We'd love to hear your perspective! We will have Kickoff Alpha on February 5th at 6:00pm and end on Monday, April 8th. Dinner will be served each week and childcare is available.
