In the final sermon of our The Song of Advent series, Pastor Jeff explores Luke 1:35-53, where Mary’s song reveals God’s mercy as enduring and faithful—spanning generations, fulfilling ancient promises, and continuing God's unwavering commitment to the people of God.

The Song of Advent Series.
This Advent series focuses on the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love through the lens of Mary's Magnificat, a prophetic song celebrating God's faithfulness and transformative action. Each week will explore a different aspect of God's character, beginning with how God lifts the humble and fulfills His promises. Through this journey, we will reflect on the continuing relevance of these divine qualities as we prepare for Christ's return.

Who we are together.
River Corner Church is a growing church community of everyday people who gather to worship God, follow Jesus, and journey through life together.

What we practice together.
Our small church community is uniquely caring, simple, laid-back, and intergenerational. As a church, we want to be a welcoming, safe, and healing community for those who are seeking, hurting, or need a place to belong. Our practices are contemplative (reflective) charismatic (Spirit-driven), conversational, and informative. The times we share together are intentional and intimate, and a mix between modern and traditional. We want to be a place in which love and honor are lived out, where humility is central, and where hospitality is woven into the threads of our community. There is room at the table.

When we gather together.
River Corner Church gathers weekly on Sunday mornings at 10:00 AM to worship and experience God, study the scriptures, journey through life together, and partner with the Holy Spirit. We meet in a simple worship meeting house at 524 River Corner Road in Conestoga, Pennsylvania. You are welcome as you are, just be yourself. There are other times that we hold small groups, events, and more.
