Service Time
Just a reminder that our service time is 9:30am until the Center City campus is able to return to the Crane Community Center.
PRN Conflict Workshop
Join us on Tuesday, October 29th at 7:30 PM for a PRN Conflict Resolution Workshop led by Esther Lee. In a world where conflicting approaches to conflict resolution can be overwhelming, this workshop will help us navigate these challenges through a biblical lens. We’ll explore how to move toward reconciliation and initiate the forgiveness process. Rather than just focusing on behaviors and action steps, this class will emphasize the internal journey of reconciliation and the pursuit of peace. We hope to see you there!
Newcomer Lunch
The Renewal Welcoming Team invites newcomers to lunch on Sunday, November 3 at 12PM! We welcome anyone who came to Renewal West Philly for the first time in the last few months. Come out and meet some of our staff, welcoming committee, and other newcomers! If you would like to join, please RSVP by Sunday, 10/27. We’ll figure out the details of the lunch as we receive our RSVPs. Please RSVP here.
City Mission Conference:
Please save the dates, November 8-9 as we plan to explore how we are welcomed by God and called and equipped to welcome others in His name during this year’s City Mission Conference. How does Jesus invite us to partner with Him as He brings forth shalom in Philadelphia, a city of many cultures, ethnicities, and socioeconomic groups? How can we practically obey the command to love our neighbor? Our speakers on Friday night, November 8th (Chris Browne and Larry Smith of New Life Philadelphia) will explore these themes. On Saturday morning, November 9th, a diverse panel of New Life Philadelphia members will share how God has met them as they have engaged in the call to radically welcome others. On Saturday afternoon, Micah 6:8 members will facilitate a workshop to practically equip you as you step out to welcome your neighbors. You can now sign up here to join us on Saturday.
Infant Baptism
If you are interested in having your infant baptized, we will be having infant baptisms on Sunday, November 17th. Please note that we require at least one parent to be a member of Renewal in order to have their child baptized. Please sign up here! October 27th is the deadline to sign up.
Serve With Us
Communications Team
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 contact Pastor Hansoo at hansoojin@renewalchurch.org.

PRAY WITH US
Pulpit Committees
- Please pray for the Lord’s wisdom for the Session and Women’s Council as they consider the needs of our campuses and provide guidance on the parameters of what to look for as the pulpit committees consider candidates.
- Please pray for unity as the pulpit committee members begin to meet and learn to work together, bringing their varied perspectives and concerns as representatives of the church.
- Please pray for the future of our church as we take these next steps, esp. as we hope to find a pastor who will be a good fit for each of our campuses.
DIACONATE CARE
If you have any felt needs (physical or spiritual), please contact the Renewal Diaconate (care@renewalchurch.org). One of our deacons or deaconesses will schedule a time to meet with you.
- We look to offer the compassion and love of Christ as we meet and pray with you.
- We will walk with you through a process that our Diaconate team has made to see how we can best help you.
- We serve alongside the community of members of Renewal and our leadership team of pastors and elders.
