You're invited to celebrate the birth of Jesus with us, online or in person!
In person services will be held at our Wash Park campus (700 S. Franklin Street) at 3:30pm and 5:00pm, and at our Highlands campus (3120 Irving Street) at 6:00pm. Our 6:00pm service will also be live streamed at renewaldenver.org/live
The service will include traditional readings and hymns, as well as singing by candlelight - you won't want to miss it! Children's Church will be available, and kids are welcome in the worship center as well.
If you'd like to receive a push notification reminder, be sure to download the Renewal Church Denver app from your app store and allow notifications.
We look forward to sharing the moment with you, and pondering all that God has done, and is still doing. See you Thursday!

Renewal Community,
As you know, we held online-only worship services from March 15th - May 31st in order to do our part to combat the spread of COVID-19 and honor our authorities. The authorities allowed us to begin worship in our worship center again on June 7th, so you now have the choice of joining us on campus or on the live stream.
If you come to the Highlands Campus for worship on a Sunday, we have a number of safety precautions that are in place: we strongly recommend that age 3+ please wear masks and those age 10+ are now required to wear masks by state mandate (unless you have a medical/physical exception), 6ft physical distancing, symptom checks of attendees, and a limited capacity of 50 persons in the Worship Center (overflow rooms may be utilized for additional attendees). Those who have symptoms which could indicate COVID-19 may not attend. In addition, those with a medical complication or who are age 65+ are very strongly encouraged not to attend, as 90% of COVID-19 deaths in our state have affected people in the highly at-risk 65+ age bracket. For those unable to attend in person, we look forward to joining in worship with you via the live stream.
Even though we celebrate coming back, know that we likely won't fully be "back" until next year. What I mean is this: people will be making their own decisions about their participation level. Those in our community who are at risk, or concerned about transmission, might continue to worship online for quite some time. Larger events will continue to be restricted. We will also likely face a re-tightening of restrictions if/when there is a 2nd wave of infections. The effects of the pandemic won't be coming to an end anytime soon. For that reason, we will continue to minister differently over the coming year. Our ministry will continue to remain flexible, with a high emphasis on online ministry, maintaining community connections through LIFEGroups, and deploying volunteers to best meet the shifting needs of our community.
Now is the time to demonstrate joy for community and ministry in spite of the changing circumstances, because of the joy we have in the Gospel! May we embrace the promises of God and may we embrace the unique spot He has put each of us in to make a difference during this time.
"For such a time as this!" - Esther 4:14
Peace,
Pastor AJ
