• Renewal Moms Group – Bouquet Making Workshop With Mother’s Day around the corner, we’ll be having a Bouquet Making Workshop together. Flowers and supplies will be provided as well as light refreshments. Moms of all seasons of life, whether you’re expectant or an empty nester, all are invited to join us on Saturday, May 9 upstairs at church from 3-5pm. You’re also welcome to invite other mom friends and neighbors. We just ask that you RSVP by May 5th.
• Lea Elementary School – Lea Elementary School, one of our neighborhood schools that we partner with, is receiving a huge load of wood chips from Farm Philly to help mitigate mud buildup in the garden area. We invite you to come support this school that a number of our children and neighbors attend and help shovel and distribute wood chips! Please join us this Saturday, May 9 from 10a-12p. If you would like to join, you can reach out to Stephanie Fahringer: stephanie.c.fahringer@gmail.com.  
• Children’s Summer Sunday School – We need your help with our children’s Sunday School! As our regular teachers take a break for the summer, we are looking for volunteers to serve for the summer term and/or in the upcoming school year. It’s a wonderful opportunity to get to know our amazing kids and dive deep into God’s Word! We are open to volunteers who are able to commit one to two times a month. Every volunteer must have all of their clearances up to date. If you have any questions, please reach out to children@renewalchurch.org or talk with Pearl Kim or Sydney Goneau.
• Summer Connections – As we look ahead to the summer, I’d like to encourage you to start thinking about Summer Connections. While our Community Groups are on pause for the summer, we’ll be starting up our annual tradition of having you all organize community gatherings and activities to foster connections and shared experiences. In the past we’ve had activities like hiking, painting, game night, worship night, and focused discussions on a topic. If you are interested in hosting a Summer Connection, please scan the QR code to fill out the form.
• 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.
• Run/Walk Club– If you would like to run or walk with others one Saturday a month, enjoy the good weather and build a rhythm of communal life with others, we encourage you to fill out this interest form!
• Opportunities to Serve & Care for our Church & Community- In this transitional season, we have an opportunity to thoughtfully reexamine both what we do and how we do it. We are eager to look afresh at our practices, consider meaningful improvements, and reflect on how our structures are serving our members. Here are four ways for members to support the Session, Women’s Council, and Diaconate: Felt Needs, Prayer Team/Relational Engagement, Community Engagement, Building. If interested in serving in any of these ways, please fill out this form
