Director for Friends of North Richmond

We are excited to announce the addition of a staff member to the Friends of North Richmond initiative. Becky Watts started at the first of the year as our Friends of North Richmond Director. Becky had been helping our missions pastor, Richard Logan with various aspects of this initiative over the past several months. Richard is grateful to have Becky join him in this work and to now be giving it her full-time attention. Becky brings a love for our local community, and expertise in volunteer coordination among many other skills that will help this initiative maintain it’s momentum, and continue to grow. Richard will continue to oversee the big picture and vision of Friends of North Richmond, and Becky will work closely with the day to day operations.

Career Day – Huge Success!

Thanks to all who served, and were a part of making the Career Day for Pink and Juan Seguin Elementary Schools here at River Pointe a huge success! Right before Thanksgiving about 300 faculty and students came to River Pointe for a day of dreaming, goal setting and life-building. Many of the teachers commented on how the impact of this event goes so far beyond what can be seen on the surface. They mentioned that most of these 4th and 5th graders never see anything beyond their neighborhood, so just the impact of leaving and coming here was huge in the context of exploring possibilities outside of their current situation. We loved having the students here and it was fun to partner with the schools in this way. Here are some pictures from the day:
