A Few Things...

Here are a few things that I wanted to share with you as we head into the Easter season. 
​
​Baptism-
We had an amazing Sunday at Renew Church last week! Thank you for joining us in celebration of Alejandro and James who decided to publicly declare their commitment to Jesus in Baptism! If you would like to take this next step in your faith, join me immediately following this week’s service for our Baptism orientation class. (Located in the Art Classroom next to our Special Needs Class).

Renew Crew-
As our church grows, there are several areas in our ministry that would love to have additional support. Would you consider helping out our team? If you have any interest in learning how to to work audio/ video/lighting or if you would like to help out in our kids ministry- we would love to have you join us. Send an email to pastortreavor@gmail.com.

Interest Gathering-
Have you attended an Interest Gathering? We have one coming up this Sunday night at 6pm at our office location where we will share our heart for Renew Church. It’s a great opportunity for us to get to know you! Address: 13261 SW 124 St. Miami 33186 (Food and Childcare provided).

Small Groups-
We have 5 small groups launching this month at different times and locations throughout our city and we would love for you to get involved in a 4 week small group experience! We will have the times/ locations listed this Sunday so please be sure to talk to Sandi Abbott or Mikey about joining in! It’s my desire that we begin to build community in our church and small groups are the best way to start!

Journey to Easter-
Over the next few weeks, I will be taking Renew Church on a journey to Easter. Our travel companion will be one of Jesus’ closest friends, don’t miss the first week in the series this Sunday at 10:30am!

As we take this journey, be sure to invite someone! Text “Easter2019” to 31996 to receive our digital invite and begin sharing this image on your social media. Maybe even take a minute right now to text someone and invite them to join you. You can send them the digital invitation and then say:
“Hey! What are you doing on Easter Sunday? My church has some exciting things planned and I would love it if you would join me. I will save you a seat so let me know!”

​If you know of someone that needs Jesus, Easter is the best Sunday of the year to invite them. People with little or no interest in going to church will oftentimes say “Yes” to an invitation on Easter. Who knows? Your simple invitation could literally change their life!

Transparency-
Several of you thanked me for my transparency this past week in my sermon. If you missed it, you can click here to listen. Transparency has been healthy for me because of the love and support that you have shown my family.  Please continue to pray for me in the days ahead.  For whatever reason I’m dealing with some anxiety in my life and I’m not exactly sure why. Things are going really well in my marriage, my family, our home, personal life and at Renew Church. I know what the Bible says about replacing anxiety with prayer and thanksgiving (Philippians 4:4-7) but I am still struggling in this area. Thank you!  Love you all!

 Congratulations, James and Alejandro! We are praying for you!
