You can obtain our newsletter by sending a message to The Front Pew requesting it or reading it in Publications.

Our church family is a friendly and supportive one where both young and old come to worship and to take part in the special interest groups that encourage fellowship and spiritual growth. Our Congergational Ministers – Don E Koots, Karen J Bridges, Music Director - David S. Smith, Accompanist - Mitchell Cox, Parish Nurse – Joanne Olson, Bell Choir Director – Lois Samis Lund, Custodian – Bruce Kemp, and Office Administrator – Pat MacDonald, combine their unique talents to provide a helpful and caring ministry to people of all ages, as we celebrate life’s gifts and cope with life’s difficulties.

Riverbend United Church is relatively young, having had its first service on October 12, 1980. It basically serves the southwest part of the city of Edmonton and has a congregation of approximately 350 families.

Our worship services are at 9:00 and 10:30 am every Sunday, with extra services during the Christmas and Easter seasons. Children can attend a structured Sunday school program at the 10:30 am service. There is also a supervised nursery for toddlers at the 10:30 am service. Our church is wheel chair accessible for the handicapped.

Welcome visitors and newcomers - we are delighted to have you join us for worship! We hope that you will introduce yourself to the Minister and/or Greeters, and join us for coffee and conversation following the service. The last Sunday of each month is "Muffin Sunday," hosted by the Pastoral Care Committee. This is an opportunity to meet other members of the congregation, or to renew old acquaintances, in a friendly, informal setting.
