One Book, One Riverside

Thank you to everyone who voted and helped us choose our shared summer read! We’re excited to announce that the winner is Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler.

This visionary novel, set in 2025, invites us to reflect on themes of community, resilience, and spiritual transformation—offering both a stark warning and a powerful message of hope.

We look forward to diving into this compelling story together and gathering for a church-wide conversation on Friday, September 27.

Stay tuned for more details on how to join the discussion and engage with the book throughout the summer.

Happy reading, Riverside!
