Proverbs 15:13 (ESV) SUNDAY This Sunday, 9th August, we have our Fun Day Sunday. There'll be fun activities for the children and a short message for the adults. We're inviting everyone who attends Saturday's Fun Day, so please make every effort to join us so they can meet you too! Please note, the message won't be recorded this week. Join us at 10:30am. Church walk Sunday evening Get to know other people at River of Life by joining us on Sunday evening for a Church walk. We'll be meeting at 6pm at the Fox Inn in Newbourne for a countryside walk. We advise you wear trousers and sturdy footwear as there are some nettles along the route. Then, you could stay for a drink or order some food at the pub afterwards.

Where & when does the church meet?

Our Church meets every Sunday at 10.30am for Sunday Service. Aim to arrive 10 minutes early to get parked and find a seat in time for the service to start.

We meet at:

River of Life Christian Life Centre
2 Carr Road, Felixstowe, IP11 2FS

You can see a map on our Contact us page.

There is plenty of parking available on the site.

What should I expect when I visit the church?

You will receive a very warm welcome particularly from our Welcome Team who will be able to answer your questions and direct you to where you need to go. There will be approximately 45 mins of singing with opportunity for church members to pray or read a passage from the bible. After the notices there will be a spiritual message from one of the leaders at the Church with a chance to respond at the end of the service.

Tea, coffee and biscuits are normally served after the service where there is plenty of time to meet new people and ask more questions.

What happens to the children at church?

We have a fantastic programme for children at the Church for ages 0 thru 17. Children stay with their parents at the start of the service as we worship (sing songs!) together for the first part of the morning. An announcement is made when it's time for children to join their programmes. Children need to be registered.

For more information about programmes and age groups, please refer to the relevant pages under the main menu heading "Ministries".

Is there a dress code?

No! Please just be yourself and come dressed in your 'normal' clothes.

Will I have to join in?

Not at all!
You are free to simply observe or participate as much as feels comfortable for you.
