South Hill Christmas Parade

It's the most wonderful time of the year in South Hill, Virginia, an River of Life was thrilled to be a part of the town's cherished Christmas parade. This annual event is a beloved tradition that brings the entire community together to celebrate the magic of the holiday season, and the team at River of Life was honored to play a role in making the day extra special.

As the church's float made its way down the parade route, the smiling faces of the congregation members waving to the crowd were a sight to behold. It was about sharing the joy and love of the season with their neighbors.

"Being a part of this parade is something we looked forward to," said Pastor Justin Hardcastle. "It's an opportunity for us to connect with the community in a really special way and spread the message of hope, peace, and goodwill that Christmas represents." 

As the float passed by, children's eyes lit up with delight, and adults couldn't help but smile and wave back. It was a tangible reminder that the church is here to serve and support the people of South Hill, not just during the holidays but all year round.

When the parade came to an end, the members of River of Life felt they had not only participated in a beloved community tradition but also had the opportunity to share the love of Christ in a way that was both joyful and meaningful. As they packed up the float and headed back to the church, they knew that next year, they would be back, ready to spread even more Christmas cheer.
