Jonas and Becky Woods visited REN's morning service to lead us in some songs of worship, as well as a concert later that night with more of their original music. Both events were wonderful, thank you Jonas and Becky for sharing your gifts with us!
REN Craft Market - Recap
We had such a great time at the Craft Market that we decided to hold a smaller version for anyone who missed it (or needs to do a little more Christmas shopping) which will be this upcoming Sunday, Dec. 6 from 12-3pm! Plan to stick around after service for lunch, and invite some friends. Proceeds support our Elevator Campaign to make our sanctuary more accessible.

Refresh
Wednesday nights from 7-8:30pm is our Refresh Prayer gathering in the sanctuary. Nothing is more important to us than building a vibrant culture of prayer. The format varies but is typically an open style prayer with music in the sanctuary and people spreading throughout the sanctuary to seek the Lord.

Family Night + Youth Night
Last Friday from 6-8pm our families came together to share a meal and enjoy spending time together. After dinner, the young kids were watched over by volunteers to give their parents time alone to be refreshed and equipped with a teaching on Godly parenting. At the same time, R.J. met with the Youth Group in a time of worship and discussion. Here are some photos from the gathering:
