The Gift of Salvation
John 3:16
We are excited that you have decided to gather with us this morning as we worship the only One worthy of our praise!
Connect
There are lots of ways to enjoy real connection to other RiverWind Church members. Here are a few current opportunities!
Ties and Tiaras
Mark your calendars for February 16, to help us make this a special event where the Gospel is proclaimed, little girls feel loved on by their father figures and the men come away with a better understanding of their role in that little girl’s life. Please let Jeremy know if you’d like to help that evening.
Christmas Caroling
Caroling will be Thursday, Dec. 14 from 6-8pm. Everyone is invited to participate. Vans will leave church promptly at 6pm so we can make our first stop at the Primrose Retirement Community Christmas party. After an evening of caroling, we will have refreshments back at church for everyone!
RiverWind Kids Ministry
We are looking for more team members! Specifically, we are looking for a substitute teacher and a teaching assistant. Contact Joel Walker for more information.
