Hi there!
​
I have an honest question for you…

What do you do when you are coming to an intersection and the light turns yellow? What is your first response?

Gas? Or Brakes? 

If you chose gas- you were probably answering honestly but you picked wrong.  A yellow light actually means slow down and prepare to stop.  It never means push the gas. We are constantly running yellow lights in our life- not just in our cars but at intersections of life. 

This weekend, we are kicking off a brand new series called, “Running Yellow Lights”. I hope you will join me and invite a friend. 

Attention Men: We have a free Men’s Breakfast this Saturday at our Miami Campus from 8:30-10am.  All you have to bring is yourself, for some great food and an inspiring word from Pastor Ricardo from our Homestead Campus! 

Also, Christmas is here!  If you would like to participate in our Christmas program- I invite you to join us for our Christmas preview on Wednesday night (10/4) at 6:30pm.  This is a perfect opportunity for you to see what we are planning for Christmas and see how you can get involved!

Looking Up,

Hi there!
A few people have been asking me about the ministries at Renew Church and so I wanted to give our Directors a chance to share why their ministry exists and the impact it has on our church.  
Here is some of what they said: 

Worship: We start with Worship! This is not only a core value of Renew Church, it is the posture of our hearts. Bringing praise and worship to our God and coming together as one to lift up His name! Homestead and Miami Campus - Director: Stephanie Santos

RC Kids: Kids ministry aims at guiding our children to learn & follow Jesus Christ all while having fun! We teach our children through Bible centered videos, creating crafts & playing group games. Homestead Campus - Director: Magda Ortiz; Miami Campus - Director: Yandria Bermudez 

Misfit Youth: Misfit Youth is all about mentoring and engaging our teens into a lifelong relationship with Jesus that will have an impact not only on themselves but those they come in contact with. Director: Mikey Bermudez

Connections: Our connections team, is involved with our guests from the street to the seat. Here at Renew Church, we want our guests to experience God’s love at all times. This is why it starts with a welcoming environment, from signs out on the street, greeters in our lobby, ushers making a way for our guests in the worship center, to a follow up call from someone on our team. We offer Growth Track once a month at Renew, it is a 40 minute session which will help know more about Renew, and also help you identify your skills, talents and gifts and how you can join us in advancing the Kingdom of God here at Renew and our community. Homestead Campus - Director: Zabrina Grillo; Miami Campus - Director: Rebeca Juri

Production: In times past, we as a people, had less noise in our lives. With the advent of the internet, social media and today’s technological advancements, there is a battle to compete with the attention and focus of the people around us. Those people are His people.  The production department at Renew Church takes on the task of leveraging today’s technology to create and maintain an atmosphere where people can meet, hear, learn about and foster a true and transformational relationship with Jesus.  Through our passion for technology/media and delivery of it, we are able to reach exponentially more people than ever before, in history, making Production a crucial part of fulfilling God’s Great Commission. Homestead and Miami Campus - Director: Allen Lynch

Small Groups: Exists to help foster our pillar of Discipleship and encourage our church to become a family as they learn and grow together. These groups provide community,  prayer support, encouragement,  and accountability to its members. We would love for everyone at Renew to be connected to a small group. Director: Jessica May
​
Hope Center: Did you know that 1 person dies every 5 minutes from a drug overdose?  Hope Center exists to lead addicts and their families to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Director: Javier Morejon 
See You Sunday!

Hi there!
Don’t miss this weekend at Renew Church!  A couple of weeks ago we started a new series entitled, “Say Yes!” and this past weekend I shared a message called, “Say Whatever!”  The premise of the message is from Colossians 3:17, “And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” If you missed it, you can CLICK HERE to watch.

Sometimes, we are too preoccupied with asking “what” to do- when sometimes we need to just say, “Whatever we do- let's do it in the name of Jesus”.  

We are also having a really fun “Serve Fair” after the service where you can connect with some of our leaders and learn more about serving in a ministry.  Above are some pictures from last year!

Check out Lizzie’s tithing testimony from our service last weekend at the bottom of this post! 

Hi there!​
I hope you are having a great week! I asked Jessica May, our Small Groups Director, to write a few words on the importance of joining a Small Group and this is what she shared with me: 

Family.  

That’s what a good small group is. Family. 

A good small group becomes your people and tribe...the ones who walk with you in the challenging parts of life when you need to be heard and prayed for, supported and comforted. The ones who celebrate life’s wins with you when that test comes back clear, or you get that job you have all been praying for. They are the ones that create a sturdiness around you when life seems the opposite and anxiety is winning. They are the ones who come to your mother’s funeral, send meals when the new baby arrives, and show up at your graduation because they would not miss it for the world. They give gifts to your kids on their birthdays because your kids are like theirs. These precious gifts are the ones you eventually cannot imagine life without because they have become so infused in your story.  

This is the kind of legacy I have lived by having a REALLY GOOD small group. I still do “life” with my old small group members even though we are scattered across the country. We still send Marco Polo videos every day checking in on life and updating about our own. And we still do an annual Christmas Tree ornament exchange in December every year though, Zoom is now the place we gather.  
My desire is to help encourage these spaces of belonging in Renew. The spaces where you feel God’s love tangibly through the members of you group and experience healing as they care for you in ways that may feel new to you. Places where you can come messy and broken and be embraced and received in the same way God receives you into His family.  

I hope you consider joining a small group this Fall. We really look forward to having you with us.  This weekend, we are hosting a “Small Group Fair” which is a great opportunity to learn about our groups and find one that fits you!

Grandparents Day
Speaking of family. We have an amazing day planned for Grandparents this weekend at Renew Church!  We have a beautiful photo backdrop, a small gift and a special prayer for Grandparents.  I hope that you will invite Abuelo y Abuela to join you for this special day.  

Child Dedication
Child Dedication is September 17 and is a special moment for the families in our church.  This event is also very important for the friends and family connected to the child that is being dedicated, so don’t forget to invite them to join you!  Click here to sign up and we will contact you with all the details!

Hi there!
We are praising God for an amazing Encounter Series.  Our goal was for our church to have an experience which in the end brought an encounter with God!  This series included 21 Days of Prayer, Live Prayer on Facebook, a Night of Worship and the series concluded with our Day of Worship and many people coming forward for prayer and 7 people getting Baptized!  We also heard of many answers to prayer from our Prayer Wall and we are believing more are still to come.  Even though the series has finished, God is not finished!  We are praying for encounters to continue as God continues to work in our lives and our church!
This Sunday we will kick off our new series "Say Yes’'.  Saying Yes might be the difference between being stuck in an old pattern or stepping into the true purpose that God has for you! Say Yes to your Community, your Commitment, your Purpose and to Christ!

Hope Center Gala
I’m really excited about our Hope Center Gala taking place on September 9th at Princeton Church. Dress code is semiformal attire and is a great opportunity to learn more about the Hope Center while showing our support for these men that are overcoming drug and alcohol addiction.  Cost for tickets are $65 and goes to support a great cause! They also have an amazing auction that will take place with all proceeds going to Hope Center Miami.  Finally, we will be honoring our newest graduate in the program!  If you want to learn more about the Hope Center and see all the good they are doing in our community - please join me!  I am so grateful for this ministry!

Hi there!
We have had powerful services at both campuses during our Encounters Series - and it all culminates this weekend with our “Day of Worship”!  What is a Day of Worship? It’s an uninterrupted worship service with a short message in the middle and time for prayer and ministry to people that are seeking the Lord.  You don’t want to to miss this Encounter experience and I am challenging you to bring someone with you this Sunday (you can even forward this email to them). 

Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagle; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:30-31

We will conclude the services with an opportunity to be baptized.  If this is something you are interested in - you can learn more by going to this link or just come out on Sunday!  Its going to be a great day!  

Child Dedication is September 17
Child Dedication is a special moment in the life of families in our church. This happens when the parents choose to have their children dedicated as a symbol of their intention to raise them in God's Church and their hope to see that they choose God's ways when they are older.  This event is very special for the friends and family connected to the child that is being dedicated, so don’t forget to invite them to join you!  Click here to sign up and we will contact you with all the details!

Hi there!
School is officially back in session! It’s hard to believe summer is already over but what is not hard to believe is that God can help us thrive in the next season. 

I love hearing of answers to prayers that were placed on our Prayer Wall. Here is one of the emails I received this week:

“I wanted to give this praise report on the paper we were given to write our prayers on. I requested prayer for my sister’s health and today her doctor called her back after repeating her blood work from 3 months ago and even the doctor said, ‘I don’t understand. I don’t know what happened but all your levels are back to normal!! This is incredible!’

On behalf of my sister, we want to thank you and everyone for their prayers. We serve a powerful, faithful God. Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals!  Love you guys see you Sunday.”

Isn’t that amazing? Praise God!!

Don’t miss this Sunday at Renew as we have a special time of prayer for students and teachers and RC kids is having an Ice Cream Sunday right after each service! 

Also, we are in Week 3 of our Encounters Series and I’m looking forward to sharing what God has put in my heart for this week! 

No matter what challenges are ahead of you- let’s believe God for what he is going to do! 

Come expecting an Encounter!

Hi there!
They say, “A picture is worth a thousand words.”  I don’t know who “they” is but if this is true… This will be a 7000 word blog post with only a couple of hundred "actual" words.  

These pictures reflect many of our Core Values being lived out including: We Start with Worship, We Preach Good News, We Have Fun Together, We Love our City, We Pursue the Next Generation, We Give Irrationally, We are One Church in Multiple Locations and We are on a Co-Mission.  See if you can spot them. If you want to learn more about our Mission, Vision and Values- I invite you to check out Growth Track at both campuses this Sunday right after the service.

Our Encounters Series has begun and it has been amazing already!  Don’t miss Week 2 in the series and be sure to be joining us through our 21 Days of Prayer Guide and Weeknight Prayer at 7PM on Facebook.com/renewmiami.

Lastly, I want to thank my daughter, Emily, for all she has done for RC Kids over the last year as our Kids Director at the Miami Campus.  I am so proud of all that she has accomplished and we are going to miss her as she starts school this week at Highlands College in Birmingham - she is studying to be a pastor!!  Love you, Sis!!

What happens when heaven meets earth? When the eternal collides with everyday life? When an all powerful and living God comes face to face with our circumstances.  When God shows up, suddenly our problems seem much more manageable. Our weaknesses mean nothing- because when we are weak, He is strong. When God shows up, the impossible becomes possible as our hearts are changed through His Encounter.
