Weekly Announcements:
BELONG // REVOLUTION, COVID-19, AND STAYING CONNECTED
As we all settle in to the new (and difficult) rhythms of our lives, our tendency is going to be to isolate ourselves. But as a church family, we are here for one another! If you are feeling alone, please don’t be afraid to reach out to a friend or to our church staff: we are still working, and our phones are always nearby! You can reach our lead pastor, Kenny, by email at kenny@revolutionannapolis.com or by phone at 803.727.8500. And if you are missing someone, please send them an email, a text, or make a phone call, too! We are all in this together, and we are a family: you matter here, and we are here for you.
BECOME // EASTER IS ALMOST HERE!
“Take heart; He is risen!” Although the current health crisis is keeping us from gathering together this coming Sunday, Easter is still a day to celebrate! We are planning an online service this week that will incorporate as many friendly faces and voices as possible…and you can help! We want to begin our service with a montage of the same kinds of Easter greetings we would all be sharing in person if we could, and we want as many people involved as possible! Please take a few seconds today to send us an Easter greeting video: “Happy Easter!” “He is risen!” or whatever else you would say if we could be in the space this Sunday. Seeing familiar faces has quickly become our favorite part of the weekly online service—let’s all get involved and do our small part to add something special for this week! Send videos to us at info@revolutionannapolis.com.
BELIEVE // WEDNESDAY NIGHT “THEOLOGY ON TAP”
This Wednesday, we are talking about Holy Week: what questions do you have about Jesus’s journey to Jerusalem, his arrest, or his crucifixion? What happens with Judas? What is the significance of the “Last Supper”? And why did they all sit on the same side of that table? Whatever your questions, join us for an open-forum conversation this Wednesday night at 8:30! You can join on Zoom by clicking this link https://zoom.us/j/7975456192 and entering the password: revolution. The password step is a new protection on Zoom’s end of things. So, once work is done, kids are asleep, and pets are fed, grab a beverage of your choice and log on with us!
BECOME // DONATIONS NEEDED FOR THE ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY FOOD BANK
The AACo Food Bank is in desperate need of donations to keep up with an increase in demand. You can drop frozen foods and shelf-stable items off at their main location off Crownsville Road, or you can be a part of a virtual food drive and shop online for groceries to be delivered directly to the food bank. To take part, learn more HERE!
BECOME // DONATE BLOOD WITH AAMC
With hospitalizations on the rise, our community is in desperate need for blood donations. You can still help! The Blood Donor Center at Anne Arundel Medical Center is open Monday-Wednesday from 8:15am - 3:45pm & Thursday-Friday from 7:15am - 2:45pm. To learn more about Blood Mobile drives in your area, you can check them out HERE.
BELIEVE // LET’S READ THE BIBLE TOGETHER!
Have you ever wanted to learn more about the Bible, but you haven’t known where to start? Our lead pastor is always eager to lead or help facilitate new Bible study groups to help make that happen! You can message Kenny any time at kenny@revolutionannapolis.com to see about starting a weekly study over coffee before work, connecting with our online Bible study group, or starting something totally new for others to be a part of!
BELONG // FAMILY RETREAT CANCELED
Unfortunately, the campground we planned to use for our Family Retreat is closed through April 26 due to COVID-19.
BELONG // INFO ON THE 2020 WOMEN’S RETREAT
This Fall, all women in our church community are invited to attend the 2020 Revolution Women’s Retreat for a time of fellowship, for the kindling of new friendships, and for focused time with God. The weekend getaway will be held at a beach house in Rehoboth, DE on October 23-25. Sign ups have already begun HERE. Make sure to reserve a spot!
BELONG // REVMIDDLE AND REVHIGH
