Amnesty International is a non-governmental global movement focused on human rights and social justice for all. At present, its membership totals seven million people from more than 150 countries. Its motto is "Better to light a candle than to curse the darkness." Rivers United Church Outreach and Pastoral Care Committee will be hosting an Amnesty Lunch after worship on Sunday, March 16. A green theme of salads, soup, desserts and beverages will be offered with all proceeds forwarded to Amnesty International.

The monthly board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, March 17 at 7 p.m. Rivers United Church will host the joint Maundy Thursday service on April 2 at 7 p.m. A joint Good Friday service will be held at St. James’ Anglican Church on April 3 at 10 a.m.
