Weekly Announcements:
BELIEVE // PRAYER GATHERING THURSDAY
This Thursday, clergy from our community with be gathering to pray, grieve, and seek discernment about how to act in response to gun violence in our community. The gathering is at John Wesley UMC from 1-2:30, and if you would like to sit in, you are welcome.
BECOME // JUNETEENTH PARADE PARTICIPATION
Would you like to join us for the Annapolis Juneteenth celebration? The Annapolis Clergy Group is planning ways to participate in the festivities as a collective: we want members from all of our churches to take advantage of this opportunity to get to know and support one another. If you are interested in helping to plan for this event, you can let Kenny know at kenny@revolutionannapolis.com. If you would just like to participate, go ahead and mark your calendars! The city’s events will start at noon on Saturday, June 18.
BELONG // SOFTBALL IS COMING SOON…
…and Revolution wants to be ready! Although our league won’t start up until June, we are thinking of having a few practices later in May to get ready. If you’d like to join the team this year, send a quick email to our Team Captain, Andy Guzik, at asguzik@yahoo.com and let him know!
BELONG // IN SEARCH OF: A MEN’S SOCIAL EVENTS LEADER!
One of our goals for Church Life in 2022 is creating comfortable spaces for folks to not only reconnect with each other, but also to invite their friends who don’t go to church to build real friendship with those of us who do! To help us get there, our Church Life Lay Leader, Maggie Young, has been coordinating monthly gatherings outside of Saturdays for women in our church community. But the men in our church community need something similar! So, Maggie is putting out an all-call for someone in our church who might be interested in planning (or at least helping her plan!) men’s events for every other month. We aren’t thinking of anything expensive or fancy: just a Friday night bonfire or a plan to watch the NBA playoffs together would do just fine. If you might be interested in stepping up and joining Maggie’s team, just let her know! You can talk to her on Saturday night, or email her anytime at youngmaggie14@gmail.com.
BECOME // IN SEARCH OF: REVKIDS VOLUNTEERS!
As we continue moving forward with reopening RevKids during our weekly services, we need volunteers! If you are ready to step in to help not only look out for the children of our church, but help to foster their first steps towards faith, please reach out to our Children’s Pastor, Shawn Livingston, at shawn@revolutionannapolis.com. You’ll be glad you did!
BELONG // REVYOUTH CONTINUES!
Middle- and High School-age youth are invited to join us on Sunday nights as the RevYouth group begins partnering with the youth group at Heritage Baptist! We are so excited bout this opportunity to build a bigger and more active community together...while also building deeper faith partnerships in our city. The group gathers at 1740 Forest Dr. from 6:30-7:45pm. We hope your kids can make it!
BECOME // FOOD PANTRY OPPORTUNITIES
A lot of you know about our ongoing partnership with Heritage Baptist Church on their weekly food pantry: that pantry operates each and every Tuesday from 9:30-11:30, with prep work happening on Monday evenings. They could still use our help! So, if you are interested in serving during either time slot, please let us know at info@revolutionannapolis.com and we can get you connected ASAP. But there’s another opportunity to help our neighbors who are experiencing food insecurity, too! We are eager to build a new partnership with our friends at Eastport United Methodist Church, who operate an enormous food pantry/clothing drive/market event every 3rd Saturday morning! You can learn more by reaching out to their lead pastor, Chris Broadwell, at chris@eastportumc.org. He would love to hear from you!
