Riverton Fellowship Circle closes doors – The Riverton Fellowship Circle (RFC) invited its Riverton Ministry Circle partners to a meeting on June 24, 2020. The purpose of the meeting was to have their support as a motion was passed to dissolve the church corporation and its assets. The church fellowship began meeting in 1985 at the Riverton and District Friendship Centre (RDFC). As the congregation grew, so did their desire to have their own church building. After much fundraising and community support, construction happened in summer 1997. RFC joined MCM at the annual session on February 24, 2006. The RDFC has graciously accepted the church’s gift of their building so that the community will continue to benefit from the wide scope of programming the Centre offers. RFC has been a vital part of the Riverton community over the years so a service of closing and celebration will happen at a later date.
