Care for the Fordes
As many of you have heard, the Forde family is walking through an incredibly difficult season. Isaac and Claudia’s 3 year old daughter Ilona was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. You can sign up to help with their Meal Train and/or you can give to the Forde family care fund on Renewal’s giving page. You can select “Forde Family” in the dropdown menu. Finally, there is a Go Fund Me page. This is suitable for people who aren’t connected to Renewal. We are also organizing a group to assist with occasional childcare and household tasks. If you’re interested in helping, please reach out to Joanna Hess at joannaflee@gmail.com.

Summer Connections
Traditionally, summer is a time when Renewal activities slow down due to travel and vacations. To keep the community spirit alive during this time, Renewal attenders and members are hosting “summer connection” events that foster community and connection while our Community Groups are on pause. You can sign up to lead an event on a rolling basis. The events will run from June through the end of August. You can now also sign up to take part in the various events.
