At 6PM, the music begins as The River sets the atmosphere with beautifully arranged, heart-felt praise and worship. The River is a group of worshippers with two goals: worship Christ and lead other into a deeper place of worship as well. Be transformed as we step into "the river" and bask in the God’s presence.
