- The Stack Stone Planter was completed in June. Total cost for the project was $8,245. We received grants to total $5,400; the remainder of the cost came from RUC funds. This is definitely an enhancement to our property.
- RUC is pleased to announce that another improvement will take place soon: the ramp will be replaced by G2J’s Mobile Welding. RUC received a Government of Canada Enabling Accessibility Grant to make this project possible.
- Orange Shirt Day will be marked on September 28. This Day is an invitation for everyone to wear an orange shirt to show their compassion for the survivors of the Indian Residential Schools and to say that all children matter.

- Starting on July 1, 2024, Re. Barb Jardine will serve as the Pastoral Charge Supervisor for Rivers United Church.
- Rivers United is pleased to announce that the repair and replacement of our four stained-glass windows is complete. This ambitious project was undertaken by Prairie Studio Glass out of Winnipeg, and the cost will be covered by a generous bequest from the late Don McFadden, a dedicated member of this church family for his entire life.
- A quilt is hanging on the south wall in Friendship Hall. This quilt was made by the congregation of Rivers United Church to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the United Church in 1940. The quilt became the property of Rev. Wallace and Mabel Donogh when they left this church in 1944. Through some quirky circumstances, the quilt has returned home. It contains the names of all those who were members of this congregation in 1940. It is a real gem! For a more detailed description of the quilt, please go to the About Us page of this website.
