More info, signups, and links at: Announcements
- Community Dinners in January and February- The Micah 6:8 committee is organizing a series of Renewal community dinners, and you are invited to join and/or host! The purpose of these gatherings is to facilitate community by mixing people across friend groups, life stages, ethnicities, and other differences. By breaking bread together and having a little bit of intentional conversation, we hope to break down barriers and strengthen the bonds of our body. This first round of dinners will take place in January/February, so we are accepting RSVPs through January 18. We look forward to seeing you there! Sign up here.
- Congregational Meeting- Our Congregational Meeting will be held this Sunday, December 14 at 12:30.
- Cedar Park Neighbors-Holiday Basket Drive – Renewal is hosting the Cedar Park Neighbors annual holiday basket drive on Saturday, December 20th from 8:00am-11:30am. We are looking for volunteers to help with set-up, packing meals, and clean-up. If you are able to help, please email Daniel Sung at: sungda@gmail.com .
- Community Groups Community Groups meet throughout the week in various locations and are meant to encourage fellowship, love and connection within our church and neighborhood communities and help us apply our faith in practical ways. Some of our groups are pretty full, so we are also looking for Renewal Members to consider leading a group! If you have any questions or interest in our CGs, please sign up or head to our Welcome Table to speak with someone after the service.
- 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 GoFundMe 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.
- Children’s Ministry Director We are currently looking to hire a part time Children’s Ministry director for our West Philly campus. If you are interested, please review the job description and if you have any questions, contact session@renewalchurch.org
Serve With Us
Good communication is vital to the health of any church and we’d like to prioritize that more here. If you have a background or interest in marketing or communications, we would love to have you help us evaluate and develop our communication plan. If you’re interested, please email communications@renewalchurch
Multimedia Team
Our Multimedia Team plays a vital role in supporting worship by running slides and videos each week. This behind-the-scenes ministry is an important way to serve and help our church engage fully in worship. We are looking for volunteers to join the team—no experience is needed, and training will be provided. Please contact: wpmultimedia@renewalchurch.org
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 click here.
