Renaissance Church is very excited to welcome some international guests next week -  some young men and women from the youth group Mission72 of Eglise le Chemin in Hull, Quebec, Canada.  They are spending their spring break by going on mission.  Their mission?  To bless the city of Charlotte and assist Renaissance Church in reaching every person with the love of Jesus Christ.

(Off topic: “Spring break” in Quebec is the first week of March?!?  They’ve gotta still have 5 feet of snow up there, don’t they?)

After receiving some training, the youth will be busy throughout the week serving our community in practical ways and sharing the love of God.  The culmination of the week will be a Community Celebration on Saturday March 6th.  This free event will offer children in nearby apartment communities an afternoon of fun:  inflatables, food, and activities.

If you’d like to meet the youth or participate in the outreaches, please contact us.  There are plenty of opportunities to serve – especially for the Celebration on March 6th.

It’s coming!  Our first Life Group in Spanish!       En español

Starting soon, and lasting for 6 weeks, this will be an awesome opportunity for our Spanish-speaking friends of Renaissance Church to begin to develop Christian community in a Life Group.  For more on Life Groups, look here.

After Pastor Marla leads us in worship (in Spanish, of course), we will watch Rick Warren’s DVD teachings for 40 Days of Love (dubbed in Spanish).  Then we will discuss the topic, and how we can apply it to our own lives.

For more info (en español).

Eventually, we plan to have several Spanish Life Groups that meet every week.  ¡Viva la Iglesia Renacimiento!

After we have a good number of Life Groups meeting and multiplying, we will begin Sunday Celebration services, in addition to weekly Life Groups.

Renaissance will start Life Groups in every language we can, in order to reach people who need a relationship with Jesus Christ.   Got an idea for what language needs to be next?  Offer it in the comments below.
