Renewal Church

Making disciples for the glory of God and the good of the neighborhood.

It’s the first day of school for many of our West Chicago families, and there might have been, ah, let’s say some “big feelings” as you tried to get out the door this morning. Missing supplies, mismatched socks, and don’t even get us started on whoever decided chalkboard signs were mandatory. 😤

But the good news is the slate can be wiped clean. 🧼

We pray for God’s protection over our wonderful West Chicago community and that tiny hearts would continue to grow with a love of learning! 🙌🏻

Prayer for the Weekend

Good Shepherd, you know where we are and what we need. Quiet the anxious parts of us that keep striving as if everything depends on our grip. Lead us beside still waters. Restore our souls. And remind us, even in the valley, that we do not walk alone — your goodness and mercy are following us all the way home.

Amen.

We’re taking a bold stance right now: Renewal is FIRMLY pro-saxophone in worship. 🎷

Join us for a special Sunday service on August 23 where we will be joined by The Quantum Committee, a jazz sextet offering fresh takes on traditional hymns!

A bit from their bio: “Quantum, being inspired largely by jazz legends such as Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, and John Coltrane seek to reflect these artists’ fire, while also bringing a refreshing originality.”

Bring a friend! Bring a neighbor! Jazz! 🎶

Tired hearts roared alive as Renewal had the honor of marching with World Relief, New Life Centers, and other multi-faith organizations, recreating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic 1966 march through Marquette Park on Saturday. We mean it when we say Renewal exists for the glory of God and the good of the neighborhood, so it was our privilege to hear a voice be given to our voiceless neighbors.

“Gathered together today at a moment of trembling, when the cry for justice has become too loud to ignore. When the winds of history has shifted and called us to stand with courage that does not shrink.” -Dr. Bernice King

Renewal Next Gen is heading to the Kane County Cougars game on Wednesday, August 5 at 6:30 p.m. and YOU’RE INVITED!!! (I mean, you have to pay, but you’re still invited.) ⚾️ 🏟️

Tickets are $15 each (plus parking) and will be on sale this Sunday at the Arc via cash, check, or Zelle. Lisa at [email protected] can answer any questions you might have about payment options or which section of the stadium has nacho hats.

And the best part: a portion of every ticket purchased will help students attend Renewal Student Winter Camp! ❄️

Oh yeah, we’re doing winter camp. More on that later. 👀

We asked you guys to bring it and you…brought it! 🙌🏻

From kitchen essentials to cleaning supplies, our partnership with World Relief will provide much-needed household items for refugees, asylum seekers, detainee families, and immigrants.

THANK YOU for your generosity and intentional efforts to support these wonderful families and friends. That’s what good neighbors do! 🏡 🏡
