Find Renewal together in July

There is only one person who can make good on a staggering claim like this one: “...I am making everything new!” (Revelation 21:5b)

There is only one person who can answer the prayer of a man like David who asked for him to “...renew a steadfast spirit within me.” (Psalms 51:10b)

Renewal deep within our souls, within our very hearts...

Renewal of our first love for Jesus, for people and for his kingdom is not a human achievement.

But renewal, refreshment, revitalization and replenishment are all the gifts of a loving Lord who knows how easily we can lose touch with our first love and slip into a lukewarm, nominal faith.

I believe God wants to stir us, renew us and fill us with new faith, hope and love as only He can.

As we gather for our Yearly Meeting next month – July 17- 20 – our theme will be...“Renewing Our First Love – Our Life, Our Legacy”

Please plan to come and - in preparation - would you join me in praying that the Lord will accomplish a mighty work of renewal in our movement - starting with us!
