As the ladies of the Church we know that every woman needs an oasis, a place of rest, relaxation and refreshing away from all our responsibilities.
Actually we believe that all you need to create an oasis is a good cup of coffee, unhurried time and a group of supportive friends.
So with that thought in mind, in the midst of our busy lives we created a women’s only oasis at Riverside Cafe.
Come along and see where the conversations and the friendships lead!
Come and join us for relevant worship; dynamic prayer and teaching that challenges and transforms those who long to live for Jesus.
Our informal atmosphere will make you feel right at home, and you'll be looked after by our greeting team and hosts.
Splash is our expression of church designed for families with children. With high energy and creative worship, prayer and treaching we utilise arts and crafts, games, technology, and drama to teach everyone how wonderful Jesus is and how amazing it is to live for Him.
We start at 11:45am and aim to finish at 12:30pm with plenty of time after for drinks, snacks and free play.
It's a great environment to be in and fulfils one of Riverside's values which is to have fun.
We'd love you to come along, even better let us know if you plan to be with us and we'll look after you.
Pentecost is the Birth of the Church and the time when God's promise of the Holy Spirit was fulfilled.
Here at Riverside, we are having a United Pentecost Service on the 8th of June at 4pm to 5pm - followed by coffee.
Bubbles is our Parent and Toddler Group and runs from 9:30am to 11:30 on Wednesdays during term time.
We start with songs, puppets, stories and activities with a Christian ethos for about 30 mins.
After that we bring out the toys and open out the whole building to make one great big free play area.
The Cafe is open from 9am for coffee. We share fruit at 10am and the Cafe is open for lunch from 10:30am.
The cost is $2 per child. There is no need to book but it'd great if you let us know you plan to come along.
Come and enjoy live drama in the Institute Hall.
All welcome!

Purruna Community Garden is amongst the tranquil setting alongside the North Para River. We are growing vegetables and herbs which is already producing a regular harvest for our commercial kitchen. Our aim broadly is to grow food which can be used by the kitchen team in their menus and meal packs they create. In addition to being productive growing space, we also ensure our Community Garden is a great place for people to connect. So, we have named our garden ‘Purruna’, which in Kaurna language means Life Giving and Wellbeing. This perfectly represents what we want our Community Garden to be.
So… if this Community Garden concept is something that piques your interest, even a little bit, we’d love to hear from you. You can contact Josh on 0468 394 569 or Rick on 0417 832 502, who will be able to answer any questions you may have and point you in the right direction.
