Sponsor a Refugee Family
Right now, there are 1,600 Afghan refugee families stranded in Pakistan, desperately awaiting resettlement. These families cannot return to Afghanistan because they bravely assisted U.S. troops during the war. However, with shifting U.S. refugee policies, their future is uncertain. In the absence of government support, organizations have turned to the Church to stand in the gap. We have an opportunity to help a family resettle in Philadelphia. We know this is a big commitment, which is why the Diaconate is forming a committee to lead this effort. There will be an interest meeting on Tuesday, April 15th at 7:30pm via Zoom if you’re interested in learning more. Please fill out the interest form here, even if you cannot attend the Zoom interest meeting.

WP Town Hall
We will be holding a Town Hall Meeting on Sunday, April 27th at 1:00 PM to discuss Renewal West Philly Campus’s relationship with the PCA denomination. This will be an important time for our church family to hear from leadership, ask questions, and seek clarity together as we prayerfully consider the decision. All members are highly encouraged to attend and non-members are welcome to join us as well. Please RSVP for lunch and any childcare needs by April 20th. 

ESPM
We are excited to announce that we will be sending another team to Hunting Park this year to help run Eighth Street Peacemakers Ministry 2025 Summer Camp. Partner with Eighth Street Community Church to teach K-8 reading, writing, math and Bible; learn to love the children of Hunting Park with the love of Christ; cultivate a missional team with others from Renewal and deepen your love for the city of Philadelphia. The camp will be held from July 20-26. If you are interested we will have an informational meeting on May 4, at 1:00 pm at WP. Please RSVP as lunch will be provided. (If interested, but unable to attend, go ahead and RSVP but indicate “Cannot Attend.”)

Other members of the congregation are also welcome to join if they would like to learn more about parenting and mentoring, or how they can better support our parents. Come join us as counselors from the PRN network help us to grow in faithfully raising up our children in the Lord. We will consider the topic of “parenting and the city”.  Sign up HERE. Childcare will be provided. You can reach out to our deaconesses, Melissa Tang and Grace Lee [diaconate.prn@gmail.com] with any questions you may have. 

Summer Connections
Spring has just arrived, but we’re already looking forward to summer! Traditionally, summer is a time when Renewal activities 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—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 Clark Park, a hike on the Wissahickon trail, a movie night at someone’s place, a game night, a worship night, a book club, and more! The possibilities are endless. If you have an idea in mind, we’d love to hear it! Please sign up here to host a “summer connection” event!
