BELONG // CHRISTMAS COOKIE EXCHANGE!

The Revolution Diner is hosting a Christmas cookie exchange THIS SATURDAY, December 11 right after service. Bring 2-3 dozen cookies and then you are entitled to create a tray of assorted ones to take home with you. Not into baking? Well, no problem! Join us anyway after church and help us sample our Christmas cookies. There will be plenty to go around!

BECOME // HERE WE GO A-WASSAILING!

Join us for an afternoon of caroling and visiting with our neighbors at The Gardens of Annapolis Independent Senior Living Community! We have been invited to lead a time of singing after their Holiday Community lunch on December 17 from 12:30-2:30.  All ages and skill level are welcome, as long as you are ready to sing!  Please SIGN UP HERE for a spot so that we know who to expect and can communicate more details as the event approaches!  

BECOME // LAY LEADERSHIP OPENINGS

As we discussed at our annual Family Meeting, we have 2 new openings on our Lay Leadership Team in the areas of Weekly Services and Generosity! At Revolution, Lay Leaders are volunteers who serve on our governing board and work alongside our lead pastor to move our church forward by praying for and developing specific “areas of oversight” unique to each of the 6 Lay Leader positions. Their job is not to make everything happen! Rather, it is to add their unique perspective and passion to leadership conversations and decision-making for Revolution. This makes the Lay Leadership Team is a great place for someone to serve our church while also growing in their own ministry gifts! We would love for all of you to be praying about whether or not you can step in to help on this team, and if you’re interested in learning more about the roles, the team, or leadership in general, please reach out either to Kenny (kenny@revolutionannapolis.com) or the Team’s current chairman, Andy Guzik (asguzik@yahoo.com). We are hoping to have new leaders in place in the first quarter of 2022!

BELONG // ADVENT (AND ADVENT BAGS) ARE HERE!

Advent is a special season at Revolution! Each year, we use the four weeks leading up to Christmas to reconnect ourselves with the more traditional practices of our faith. This means a lot changes to our weekly services! Although ongoing construction work at Heritage is complicating some of our plans, be on the lookout in the weeks to come for changes to our meeting space and layout, temporary reorderings of our weekly services, and an attempt to simplify our time and our worship as we participate with churches around the world in an intentional season of waiting and anticipation.

Also: last year, we prepared special gifts for the Advent season, and we’ve done it again! We have bags available to pick up on each Saturday of the season, so if you’re in town, make a plan to join us to pick up yours…and celebrate the first week of the holiday with a new set of Advent candles, a fun chocolate calendar, crafts, and a devotional guide on us.

BELIEVE // CHRISTMAS EVE 2021

This year, we are partnering with other churches in our local network for a community-wide candlelight service at 6pm on Friday, December 24. We are excited to make this time as special as possible for friends, neighbors, and family! We’ll have more news about how you can get involved in the weeks ahead.

BECOME // MEN’S GROUP CONTINUES THURSDAYS

Did you know Revolution has a weekly small group just for the guys in our community? We would love for you to give it a try: it’s a great place to build deeper relationships and discover real discipleship. We meet on Thursday night from 7-8pm, with locations around town varying week to week. To get in the loop, please email Andy Hanauer at andrew.hanauer@gmail.com!

BELIEVE // YOUTH GROUP IS BACK!

Are you a teen, or the parent of one? RevYouth is back! Meetings are on Saturday nights from 6:30-8:00. Expect games, friends, and fun as we come together to learn more about how we can live out our faith in community. To learn more (and to get involved!), email Shawn Livingston at shawn@revolutionannapolis.com.

BELIEVE // LEARN MORE ABOUT BAPTISM

If you have any questions about what it means to become a Christian or how to take that “first next step” in your faith, reach out to us at info@revolutionannapolis.com. You can also always reach out to Kenny to ask questions through email, chat on the phone, or even grab a cup of coffee to talk in person (at a safe social distance, of course!).
