02 Activities

What the charity does

Rivers of Life Church gather together local people to care for one another. Activities this year have included working with youth, single parent families, travellers and the elderly. In 2007 we started a project to build the local community with regular breakfast gatherings in Marston, Oxford. This continues to grow and has been attended by local councillors.
