Field Day:
Renewal is hosting our first ever field day at FDR Park (SITE B) on Saturday, June 21st from 3:00-5:00PM. There will be fun, games, and cool prizes! This is an opportunity for people of all ages and not just for families. Questions email: Soojung Kim soojungkim@renewalchurch.org or Hannah Loo hannah.loo.77@gmail.com.

Congregational Meeting:
Please join us for our first Renewal Center City Congregational Meeting on Sunday, June 22nd. We’ll gather at the Penthouse Ballroom on the 10th floor of the Four Points by Sheraton, located at 1201 Race St, Philadelphia, PA 19107. The event will begin with a pizza lunch at 12:30 PM, followed by the meeting starting at 1:30 PM. Childcare will not be available. Please make sure to RSVP.

Communion Reminder:
Next Sunday, we will be taking the Lord’s Supper together. Please prepare your hearts to partake and remember the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Bethesda Project:
Renewal has been partnering with Bethesda My Brothers House, a nonprofit organization that provides a Safe Haven, emergency shelter, housing, and support services to the homeless community. We are looking for more members to step up to join the leadership team to grow and expand this outreach program. Please RSVP to our information session on June 29th to learn more. Lunch will be provided.

We’re also looking for volunteers to join the residents at My Brother’s House to serve lunch on Saturday, June 28th, from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jun Shin (junyoung.shin1@gmail.com) or Sue Park (susannapark53@gmail.com). Sign up here!

Missionary Luncheon with the Leathermans:
We are excited to welcome the Leatherman family, one of our missionary families, who will be visiting our Center City campus during their home visit. Join us after service on Sunday, June 29th for a special luncheon where you’ll have the opportunity to hear about their life and ministry overseas. All are welcome! Please RSVP here to help us plan.

Join the Missions Team:
The Missions Committee needs your help! If you are interested in fostering global or city missions here at Renewal, this committee is for you. If you are interested, please fill out this form.

Join the Welcoming Team:
We are looking for more people to join our Welcoming Team! Our desire is to cultivate a warm and an inviting atmosphere, to make each person feel seen as they walk in through the doors. Please join us in sharing Christ’s love in this way and to welcome people into our church family. Please email us at renewalccwelcomingcommittee@gmail.com and/or reach out to Evan, David, and Jun, if you are interested or if you have any questions!

Summertime Children’s Ministry Volunteers:
Each summer and winter, we give our dedicated Children’s Ministry teachers a well-deserved break. During these times, parents generously step in to lead the children’s Sunday School classes. However, we often need more volunteers to ensure we have enough adults to provide a safe and nurturing environment for our kids. If you’re interested in volunteering this summer, please contact Soojung at soojungkim@renewalchurch.org. Please note: Volunteers must submit required clearances before serving, and this opportunity is for the summer months only—not an official Sunday School teacher role. Thank you for helping support our children’s ministry.

Summer Connections:
Traditionally, summer is a time when Renewal slows down due to travel and vacations. To keep the community spirit alive during this time, we’re seeking volunteers to organize “summer connection” events that foster community and connection while our Community Groups are on pause. These events can be one-time gatherings or regular meetups—whatever works best for you as a volunteer! You don’t have to do it alone either—feel free to invite your Community Group to host one together! The events will run from June through the end of August.

Some event ideas might include: a picnic or sports day at FDR or Clark Park, a hike on the Wissahickon trail, a climbing day at Callowhill, a movie night at someone’s apartment, building rooftop, or house, a game night, a worship night, a bi-weekly book club, and more! The possibilities are endless. If you have an idea in mind, we’d love to hear it! Please fill out this form and let us know what type of event you would like to host.

If you are interested in checking out the different events, please stop by the welcoming table!

Renewal Volleyball:
Our volleyball group has been going strong and growing! We would love for this to be an outreach opportunity, especially as many non-Renewal attendees have been joining us.

Location: Crane Chinatown (1001 Vine St)
Dates/Times: Every Weekend, Saturday 3-5pm and Sunday 4:30-6:30pm
