WELCOME
If you are new to Renewal, we would love to get to know you. Check out this page for some first steps you can take to getting plugged in. After service, please stop by the welcoming table or say hi to any of the pastors or volunteers!
ANNOUNCEMENTS
Community Groups:
Our Community Groups have started back up! If you are not yet part of a Community Group, we’d love for you to join. Sign up here! You can also stop by the Welcoming Table for more information or help getting connected.
Moms Group:
Renewal CC Moms Group is a safe space for moms to connect, learn, and grow together through prayer and biblical wisdom. We seek to strengthen our walk with God and nurture our families with Christ-centered love, grace, and purpose. We will be meeting every 3rd Saturday of the month, from 8-9:30 pm at the Franks home in Olde Kensington. Our next gathering is this Saturday, October 18. We’ll begin our study of “The Gospel-Centered Parent.” Please RSVP here to let us know you can make it!
Tutor Search:
Our neighbors at Chinese Christian Church have just launched their SAT Prep Program, which began this week with an encouraging turnout of 23 high school students! To help support this growing effort, we’re looking for at least two additional tutors to join the team and share the teaching load with the current volunteers. This is more than just academic support — it’s a meaningful opportunity to care for students during a high-stress season of their lives. Through this ministry, you can build lasting relationships, offer mentorship and encouragement, and make a real difference. If you’re available to help, or know someone who might be, please reach out (office@renewalcc.org) or pass the word along!
Prayer Meetings:
Join us on Wednesday evenings from 8:00–9:00 PM as we gather to pray for our church and our city. For weekly prayer meeting locations, please contact Hannah Jo or Aidan George at prayer@renewalcc.org.
Missionary Prayer Breakfast:
Join us for our monthly Missionary Prayer Breakfast. Our next one will be this Saturday, October 18th from 9:30am to 11am. Please RSVP here and use the sign up page to help bring pastries and snacks to share together!
Bethesda Project:
We’re inviting volunteers to join us in preparing and serving a meal and sharing fellowship with the men at My Brother’s House, the safe haven for men with Bethesda Project’s. We typically meet on the last Saturday of each month – this month we will meet on Saturday, October 25th, from 11:30 AM to 2 PM. Please sign up here. If you can’t come this time but want to in the future, add your name to the waitlist section. If you have any questions, please reach out to Joel or Jay at Bethesda@renewalcc.org. We hope you’ll join us in sharing Christ’s love through this simple act of service!
Renewal Volleyball:
Our volleyball group has been going strong and growing! We would love for this to be an outreach opportunity, especially as many non-Renewal attendees have been joining us. If you’d like to join us, please sign up using this form.
Location: Crane Chinatown (1001 Vine St)
Schedule:
First Saturday of each month • 3:00–5:00 PM
First Sunday of each month • 6:00–8:00 PM

SERVE WITH US
Welcoming Team
We are looking for more people to join our Welcoming Team! Our desire is to cultivate a warm and an inviting atmosphere, to make each person feel seen as they walk in through the doors. Please join us in sharing Christ’s love in this way and to welcome people into our church family.
Please email us at renewalccwelcomingcommittee@gmail.com and/or reach out to Evan, David, and Jun, if you are interested or if you have any questions!
Missions Committee
We are looking to recruit more members! If you have a heart for global missions and would like to be a part of supporting and encouraging the missionaries of Renewal, this could be a great fit for you! We are looking for people to join our support groups for our missionaries, to help plan for our annual Missions Conference in November, and to join us for our monthly Missionary Prayer Breakfast. Please fill out this form to let us know what aspects you would be interested to participate in.

DIACONATE CARE
If you have any felt needs (physical or spiritual), please contact care@renewalcc.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, elders, and women’s council.
COFFEE HOUR
Everyone is invited to come to the Crane Center 1 hour early at 9:30am to enjoy a cup of fresh-brewed coffee, which will be made available outside the gym. Our hope is that this will provide a comfortable, inviting, and informal atmosphere for everyone to not only drink coffee but also interact with one another and form new friendships outside of the Community Group context. You are encouraged, but not required, to bring your own thermos to minimize the number of paper cups that need to be used.
