Worship Team
The worship team is in need of more instrumentalists! If you are interested in being a part of the team, please click here to sign up. The next round of auditions will be held in July. 

Supporting Refugees
Join the Micah 6:8 crew on Thursday, July 31 at 7pm on the 2nd floor to learn about how to engage with and support immigrants and refugees in such a time as this.  We’ll be hearing from Pastor Aldo Siahaan, who ministers in South Philadelphia, and discussing ways God is calling us to love the sojourner in our midst. RSVPs are encouraged but not required. 

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 Go Fund Me 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.

We are currently looking to hire a part time Children’s Ministry director for our West Philly campus. If you are interested, please contact session@renewalchurch.org. Job description is coming soon. 

Summer Connections
Traditionally, summer is a time when Renewal activities slow down due to travel and vacations. To keep the community spirit alive during this time, Renewal attenders and members are hosting “summer connection” events that foster community and connection while our Community Groups are on pause. You can sign up to lead an event on a rolling basis. The events will run from June through the end of August. You can now also sign up to take part in the various events.

PRAY WITH US

Partnering Organization: Small Things

  • Pray for smooth staff transitions as new team members begin their roles. Ask for ease in the adjustment for both the new program manager and program coordinator, and that they would quickly connect with those they serve and lead with wisdom and compassion.
  • Pray for restful vacations for staff during this season. Pray that each person would experience true rest and renewal, especially those like Vito, our Executive Director, who are finding peace and restoration in time away, such as his current fly fishing trip in Colorado.
  • Pray for favor with grantors as they step out in faith with bold requests to grow sustainability. Ask for open doors and generous support as they pursue the resources needed to continue and expand the work.
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.
