Happy New Year!

January 1, 2026
Happy New Year! • Riverwood Church

Welcome to 2026! If you joined us this past Sunday, you know that today begins our year-long theme, "To Know Him & Make Him Known." (If you missed last Sunday's sermon, we strongly recommend you catch up on the website, our YouTube channel, or in your favorite podcasting app.)

Our aim through this theme is to focus even more on Jesus. The hope is that by getting to know Him better, each and every one of us will fall even more in love with our Savior, and that out of that love, we will naturally talk about Him as we "love like Jesus loved and live like Jesus lived."

Happy New Year! • Riverwood Church

With that in mind, today is Day 1 in our 21 Days of Prayer. This year's 21-Day theme fits with our 2026 theme - Jesus. So if you grabbed a 21-day devotional booklet, be sure to read the Introduction from pages 1-10, then join us as we look at "Jesus is My Risen Savior." (If you didn't grab a booklet, you can get one this Sunday. We still have several available.)

Our prayer for you as we begin 2026 is that one year from today, you will have a deeper appreciation of Jesus, knowing Him far more intimately than you do right now.

We are on a mission to help people love like Jesus loved and live like Jesus lived.

It doesn't matter to us if you:

  • are a Wartburg student or a grandparent,
  • vote Democrat or Republican,
  • are married, divorced, or single,
  • have gone to church for years or haven't been to church in years,
  • make $100,000/yr. or wonder how you're going to pay rent this month,
  • or fear your past mistakes make you unlovable to God or others.

No matter where you are in your spiritual journey, we want to help you become who God has created you to be.
