An EGGstra big “THANK YOU!” goes to each and every one of you, our Richfield family, for ALL you did to help make our 2019 Easter EGG-Stravaganza the VERY best, most EGGciting one EVER!!

We had an opportunity to welcome 480 guests to our brand-new, super-charged event, and 70 EGGSuberant volunteers helped spread the love of Jesus to everyone who joined us! You are EGGceptional friends!!! Thank you - what a blessing you have been!!!!!

Sunday Evenings @ 6:00 PM on May 5 & 19, June 2

The Upper Room Services will be focused on prayer, with a backdrop of music and scripture. They will have structure, but freedom as well. Will you prayerfully consider

being vulnerable enough to join us as we meet together in our Upper Room? God has some powerful things He wants to do in and through us.

Let’s gather in prayer during these Upper Room Services and see what He does!

The Upper Room prayer service will be held in the Sanctuary, and takes the place of the regular Sunday night service.
