dorian is not invited...

SPECIAL NOTE:  I had written this post before the updated advisories showed the Hurricane coming closer to Miami.  I want you to know that safety is a top priority at Renew Church!  Some of you are asking if we will be having services.  We are watching the advisories, reaching out to Norma Butler School and we will communicate by Saturday if we feel it is necessary to cancel the service.  If there is anything I can do to help you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!   

Hey There!
Can you believe it?  Its less than 4 months to Christmas!! (Sorry, too soon :)  But I love this time of year because I can see our church getting back in sync after a busy summer with lots of people out of town and on different schedules.  The school year brings a little more stability in our lives and I think its a good thing to get back into some rhythms.  

I also love this time of year because we start our Small Groups back in September!  I know that some of you are probably a little skeptical about going to someone’s house or elsewhere for an hour and half a week- but I assure... its really good!   
 
I have shared this before but I want to tell you again why we do small groups.  Here’s what Scripture says…

We loved you so much that we shared with you not only God’s Good News but our own lives, too. 1 Thessalonians 2:8 NLT

Did you catch that?  Because, as the Apostle Paul says… we don’t just want to share the Gospel… we want to share our lives-  Real relationships matter!  The people you share your time with will determine the direction and quality of your life.

Our Small Groups will be…

A place to be REAL.  In life, the struggle is real.  And our small groups will be a place that reminds you that you are not alone and that there are others dealing with the same or similar struggles.  It’s a place that allows us to be real with one another.

A place to BELONG.  Church on Sundays is amazing.  Worship is on point and hopefully the preacher isn’t half bad.   But in a small group you get to connect even more and create lasting relationships that go beyond an hour a week. 

A place to GROW.  Small groups will allow us to not only look more into God’s Word together, but to look into our own lives and reflect on how we can apply God’s Word in our context.  Small groups will help us to use our life experiences to minister to each other and grow in relationship with God and each other. 
 
Our first week of Small Groups will begin the week of September 8 and will end before Thanksgiving.  If you love it (and I believe that you will), you can come back the next week... If not, that’s it.  No pressure!

Pray about joining me for our Small Groups beginning September 8.  You’ll be glad you did! Here is the listing of the 5 Groups that are taking place this season meeting on different days and times of the week.  You can pick the group that is most convenient for you!
