Friday 27th March 2026 Welcome to this week's Friday Mail, with information about our services, events and ministries. Scripture of Encouragement They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, “Hosanna! ” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Blessed is the king of Israel!” John 12: 13 Don't forget, the clocks go forward this Sunday! 🌸⏰ The clocks go forward by one hour, which means we lose a little sleep but gain some beautiful evening light. SUNDAYS This Sunday is 🌿 PALM SUNDAY 🌿 and we welcome our guest speaker, Sid Thurlow. EASTER WEEKEND Good Friday We will be heading to the open air united service at the 'Triangle' in town from 10:45. The service should finish by 12pm. We will then head to the Church Centre, where we'll have tea/coffee, and hot cross buns. We will also be taking communion together. 🍞🍷 Resurrection Sunday Easter Sunday, we aren't just celebrating a historical event; we're celebrating a Rescue Story that is still being written in our lives today. Join us for Resurrection Sunday as we worship, reflect, and rejoice in the hope of the Gospel.

PRAYER MEETINGS Join us for our prayer meeting on Tuesday from 11.30am-12.30pm. You're also welcome every Sunday for prayers before the morning service from 10am. FIND YOUR PLACE TO SERVE We are seeing some fantastic growth in the children's ministry and are making room for more. Will You Join the Team? Email: mail@riveroflifechurch.net NEW SONG ONLY YOU JESUS - JOSH CARR The song is an intimate prayer of devotion, stripping away everything until only the relationship between the individual and Jesus remains. It’s about finding "enough" in Him alone. POP-UP SHOP NEEDS Thank you to those who support this important ministry by buying extras to bless those who need to use the Pop-Up Shop. This week's needs include: rice, tuna, coffee & toiletries. MISSIONS THANK YOU! We are so grateful to everyone who gave to the Samaritan's Purse - Water Filter Appeal. We received gifts that will go to Samaritan's Purse of more than £900. Click on the picture to see how some of this money is used.

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.
