UPCOMING EVENTS
Hour of Prayer
At RISE, we believe prayer is powerful and essential. On Wednesday, November 11th from 6:30-7:30 PM, we will be having another Hour of Prayer! It is truly a special time to be with one another and lift up prayer requests and praises to God. Everyone is welcome, and you will not want to miss it!
Thanksgiving Eve Service
Wednesday, November 25 | 6:30 PM | RISE MKE Church
Join us for one of the most meaningful services of the year as we gather on Thanksgiving Eve to reflect on God's goodness and faithfulness!
This special evening will be filled with worship, praise, thanksgiving, and personal testimonies of how God has been at work in our lives over the past year.
We invite you to come prepared to share a 2-3 minute testimony of God's faithfulness and bring an everyday object—such as a water bottle, toy, keys, or another meaningful item—that represents what God has done in your life. Whether your story is big or small, we want to celebrate God's faithfulness together!
And don't leave right after the service! We'll continue the celebration with pie and fellowship. Bring your favorite pie to share as we enjoy time together as a church family.
We can't wait to give thanks with you!

Here’s the latest video update from our missionary Abram Neumann serving on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He shares about his ministry and how God is at work on the reservation.
Abram will be joining us on November 29th between services and during second service. This will be a great opportunity to meet him, hear more about his ministry, and ask any questions you may have. We hope you’ll take some time to connect with him!

Christmas Eve Service
Thursday, December 24 | 4:00 PM | RISE MKE Church
The wonder of Christmas is almost here!
This Christmas Eve, we invite you, your family, and your friends to join us for a beautiful evening as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
In the midst of the busyness of the Christmas season, take time to pause, reflect, and rejoice in the incredible gift of God's love. Through worship, Scripture, and candlelight, we'll remember the hope, peace, joy, and salvation found in Jesus.
Christmas is also a wonderful opportunity to extend an invitation to someone who may need encouragement or a reminder of God's love. Whether RISE is your church home or you're visiting for the first time, we'd love to celebrate with you!
Come experience the beauty and wonder of Christmas as we worship our newborn King together.
We can't wait to celebrate with you this Christmas Eve!
