Summer Connections
We will have multiple small community gatherings this summer and we are calling them Summer Connections. If you’re looking for ways to meet new people, this is a fun way to connect with each other in more informal ways. They are run by members or regular attenders of Renewal and are a great way to connect with people outside of your Community Group (CG) while CG’s take a break. Sign up for as many events as you like!
If you would like to host an event, please fill out this form.
West Philly Summer Connections
Pub Theology - Led by Hansoo
Do you like discussing interesting contemporary issues?
Do you like to drink beer?
What if you could do both with other Christians in an open yet safe environment?
Join me for Pub Theology where we will discuss specific contemporary issues and what the Bible has to say about them while enjoying some beer (or other beverages). This would also be a great opportunity to invite non-believing friends who might be interested in hearing or engaging with what the Bible has to say about topics they are interested in.” Sign up below:
