Hi there!

​How is your week going? You might not want to know this but school starts in exactly 1 month!  Can you believe it?!  We have some exciting things happening as we get ready for Back-To-School and I wanted to share them with you! 


Here are a few of those things: 
Night of Worship is Tonight at 7:30! (July 23)  Don’t miss this powerful night!  It has been awhile since we have had a Night of Worship and its long overdue!  If you have never been to one, it’s an extended time of praise and worship led by our own band!  We can’t wait to gather together for this awesome event! 

Misfit Pool Party is Saturday at 1pm!  If you are a student in Grades 6-12, we encourage you to hang out by the pool this Saturday with your friends!  We will be at Pastor Ricardo’s house.  For information, contact Mikey at 786-486-2700.  

Renew Ladies Fellowship / August 7, 2-4pm.  Ladies will enjoy a time of coffee, dessert and good conversation.  Don’t miss this special day designed just for you! 

Hi there!
Our family just got back from summer vacation and it was a great time together!  We were able to visit my brother and family in Texas, our family in Oklahoma (some of which we had not seen since before Covid), and then we drove back through Nashville on our way back to Miami.  That is a lot of miles and we thank God for His protection! Sometimes they say summer is supposed to be slow but we have some exciting things coming up!

One of the things we got to do on our trip was meet with a special person in our life that has decided to come and help serve under Pastor Ricardo in RC Kids!  This is an exciting opportunity for Renew and I truly believe that your kids are going to love her!  I will share more on this soon!

Also in our travels, we spent some time visiting 4 different Hope Centers in Oklahoma and Tennessee.  We are part of Compassion Network and many of the churches in the Network have a Hope Center connected to it.  A Hope Center is a place that provides men and women with the opportunity to overcome their drug and alcohol addiction through their faith in a personal relationship with Jesus.  This is a 3 phase program that most residents spend 1 year at to overcome addiction and it even provides an income through a full time job opportunity at the end of the program.   A young man from Renew Church is currently in a Hope Center in North Carolina and we look forward to having a local center to help people struggling to overcome addiction.

Tomorrow, we are expecting over 100 people from Renew to join us at Zoo Miami for Family Zoo Day!  I can’t wait to hang out with many of you! If you missed the deadline to sign up, reply to this email.  We might have a cancellation or 2 and I will try to get you a ticket! :)

This Sunday, we are in week 2 of Bubble Busters and RC Kids is kicking off Summer of Heroes!  The Incredible Hulk is making a special appearance this Sunday!  Don’t miss it and invite a friend!

See you this Weekend!

Hi there!​
We Invite You To Join A Small Group This Fall
Our small groups are on summer break, but we're so looking forward to gathering together after Labor Day! Summer is busy with kids on vacation, summer getaways, and lazy days with family and friends. And our small groups take a little break to let all these goings-on go on. 
So, what happens to small groups in the meantime? Group members stay connected over the summer. We text and pray together on group chat, we do Bible plans together, and we gather to catch up and share our summer plans and summer tans. 

What Happens In Small Groups?
Being a part of a small group is not just meeting once a week to do church stuff with church people. It's a chance to make new friends and build a community with like-minded individuals who share the same hopes and dreams. We share a vision of a future filled with the blessings of God for our families and our communities. 

During our small group gatherings, we grow our knowledge of God and our faith in God. Together in a small group, we share our joys and our sorrows. We pray for each other and encourage one another through difficult times. And we celebrate our victories and share good times too!

What Small Groups Are Really Like?
If you're wondering what's goes on in a small group, let me give you a snapshot… 
Once a week, a group of about 10 people gets together. This can be in someone's home or at church or a zoom call. We chat and connect and share how our week is going. We learn a little bit more about each other with funny icebreaker questions. 

Then we get down to business… we pray together and dig into the Bible. Some groups discuss Sunday's sermon and how we can apply it to our lives. Other groups do Bible studies focused on a specific topic or a book of the Bible. Some groups get together to hang out and share something they love to do together, like playing basketball. Small groups can look different based on the interests of the group. What's always the same is the opportunity to hang out together, grow and learn together and make friends. 

Small Groups Are A Safe Space
There are just two rules to follow in small groups… show up and be kind to one another and respect each other's privacy. This means that what is said in the small group is kept in the small group. So, it's a safe place to ask questions, to share your heart, and to be encouraged and encourage others. 

Member Testimonial
I’ve been going on about small groups because as a small group leader I see how it impacts people’s lives. I want to share a portion of a testimonial one of my small group members recently shared with me:

“Since it's inception in 2019, I have been attending small groups on and off. It wasn't until this year, however, that I intended to show up more consistently. I'm rather reserved, and often struggle sharing the things that are on my own heart, so I had no idea how much my spirit needed fellowship. Just recently I had been so heartbroken, and overwhelmed by my situation. It was in the middle of our icebreakers, and someone asked if I was okay. I burst into tears, and this Family stepped in ways I never could have been able to verbally ask for. Even in other times when I chose to be silent and just listen, I've found solace in their words. It makes walking this walk easier when you have believers to lean on that will fight with, and FOR you, when you don't have the strength to. I've gained mentors and friends at the same time. It’s been a safe place when nowhere else was, allowing me to heal! I am so thankful for Sandi's diligence and grace as a facilitator, while she truly let's God be the Host.”

Join A Group This Fall!
I invite you to try small groups this fall. When things get back to the routine of kids in school and back to business as usual, our small groups will be waiting for you. Come and join us… come and see how to do life together with other believers. 
Soon we'll be posting our Fall schedule of groups, and there's one that will be calling your name. We'll be having in-person groups again. Stay tuned!

Hi there!​
It’s Pastor Mikey and I’m happy to be writing this weeks blog to all of you. Last week our youth group was at teen camp in Lake Placid, FL and it was an awesome experience!

Teens were taking ownership of their faith, praying for one another, being vulnerable and building relationships that we believe will last a lifetime. The opportunity for us to even go to camp was in part because of the generosity of our church family. We needed funds for transportation and sponsorships for select students and Renew Church raised over $2k to get us to camp. Thank you so much! Because of your generosity, teenagers are closer to Jesus. 

I’m so excited for this next season on Misfit Youth, our youth group, that will be relaunching in August. Misfit Youth is for all students from grade 6-12. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at (786) 486-2700.

Thank you again! 

Love, 
Mikey

Hi there!
It’s hard to believe we are almost halfway through the Summer!  God has been so faithful to Renew Church and we have been able to love our community in some very tangible ways.  I’m dedicating this blog to sharing some of those things with you.  

-On Thursday, after hearing about the Champlain Condo Tower Collapse, we took $1000 in Publix Gift Cards to the Surfside Community Center to support families that lost everything. It was a very solemn moment to see people looking for their loved ones and waiting on any possible updates from rescue workers.  

-We sent 25+ Students/Leaders to Youth Camp and raised nearly $3000 to help cover transportation costs and to sponsor students that otherwise could not afford to attend.

-We gave $300 to help Pastor Jeff Lynch in Virginia with emergency needs after his house burned down last month.

-We bought Teacher Appreciation Food and Gift Cards for the hard working efforts of educators in our community!

-A generous donor from Renew helped us give $600 to help with funeral expenses for Pastor Roger Goetz of Miami First Church.

-We purchased 50 Zoo tickets for Family Zoo Day on July 17 to give our kids and families a great time together this summer!

-We gave $500 to help with travel/funeral expenses for Pastor John Pierre’s father-in-law who died suddenly in the Bahamas.

Why do I share this with you?   Because YOU are the reason we are able to do this! I don’t think you get enough credit for the difference you are making in helping us “Lead People to a Renewed Life In Christ.”  

One of our 9 core values at Renew Church is, “We Give Irrationally.” For those of you that give to Renew Church, please know that your support does not go unnoticed and because you give faithfully- we can continue to do these things and more!  THANK YOU and please continue to be faithful in supporting our Vision!  I truly believe the fruit you will see will be worth the seeds that are sown!  

If you have not given to Renew, pray about starting today.  You can give your Tithes/Offering safely through our Online Giving option that takes less than 3 minutes to set up. You can also set up recurring giving on our website.  CLICK HERE to give online or to set up recurring giving.

God bless you and see you Sunday!

Hi there!Wanna hear a Dad Joke?  

"I’m worried about the calendar… its days are numbered." LOLOL

I know it was terrible, but guess what- there’s more where that came from!  

If you are a Dad or if you have a Dad- we would love for you to join us for Smashburgers and Italian Sausage this Sunday at Renew!  PLUS, you can have a chance to win a CharBroil 4 Burner Gas Grill!  

In addition, there will be a really funny “Dad Joke Battle” during service.  Two Renew Dad’s will face off to see who has the best Dad Jokes!  Who says Father’s Day can’t be fun?  Don’t miss this weekend and invite someone to join you!  

Also I’m excited to announce the Nursery Is Back! We have so many families with babies that call this their home and our nursery will be open with loving people ready to serve.  We were taking extra time to make sure it was safe to reopen the nursery and find the right person for the job.  Our Lead Nursery worker is certified in Child Care and will be serving our families with children under 2 years of age. I hope that you will feel comfortable in bringing them back to church and know that our Nursery is a safe and great option while you worship at Renew.

Don’t miss week 3 of our WORD series as we continue in James chapter 3!  The title of this week’s message is “Watch Your Mouth” and the principles behind this sermon have saved me many times!

Hi there!
How are you? These last couple of weeks we have watched many of our students graduate from High School and we are so proud of them!  The accomplishments they have achieved especially through Covid makes them all honor graduates in my opinion!  As I look back at my High School years, I don’t know if I could have done what they did to adapt to online classrooms and the demands that were put on them as they continued to do all the work of earning their diploma while missing out on much of the social aspects that come with InPerson school.  (To see what Misfit Youth did for our graduates last Friday, click the 1 minute video below!)

At Renew Church, we want you to know how proud we are of you.  This Sunday, we have a special gift for you and we will also have a time of prayer for our graduates as they take the next step in their journey.

Also, don’t miss week 2 of our WORD series as we continue in James chapter 2!  I just finished the message yesterday and I am excited to share it with all of you.  The title of this week’s message is “Faith in Action” and I believe James’ words will be helpful to you in your walk with God.
