In addition, several churches are holding services during the day and in the evening to celebrate the beginning of the Lenten season. All are welcome!

BELONG // SPRING GROUPS SIGN UP & GROUP FAIR!
Next Saturday, on March 5, we will be launching our first full slate of Revolution groups since the spring of 2020…and having a Group Fair! That evening, after service, we will be holding a potluck in the Fellowship Hall where you can meet group leaders and ask questions about their groups. What kinds of groups might you see, you ask? In addition to our Local Groups (which will be continuing) and some of our mainstays (like Meredith’s “Bestseller Book Club” and our Thursday night Inter-Church Men’s Group), we will be starting a book study (on Pete Enns’s The Sin of Certainty, led by Fred Miller), a group discussing the hit podcast from last year, The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill (led by Kenny), and moving our Saturday night “After Service” group to Sunday mornings! You can sign up today by clicking HERE…and we can’t wait to see you on March 5!
BELONG // REVYOUTH RETURNS…AND JOINS FORCES WITH THE YOUTH GROUP AT HERITAGE!
Middle- and High School-age youth are invited to join us SUNDAY as the RevYouth group begins partnering with the youth group at Heritage Baptist! We are SO EXCITED about this opportunity to build a bigger and more active community together...while also building deeper faith partnerships in our city. The first gathering will be at Heritage Baptist (1740 Forest Dr) from 6:30-7:45pm. We hope your kids can make it!
BELIEVE // CHILD DEDICATION SERVICE
Are you a new parent? Or did you welcome a new family member during the long “hibernation” of the pandemic? We are currently planning a child dedication service for later in the spring. If you would be interested in welcoming your little one(s) into the family of our church community, you can learn more about what a “child dedication” means for us at Revolution, and get more information about participating, by reaching out to Children’s Pastor Shawn Livingston at shawn@revolutionannapolis.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!
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! Go check things out–and sign up to help!–this month on February 19. You can learn more by reaching out to their lead pastor, Chris Broadwell, at chris@eastportumc.org. He would love to hear from you!
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 // 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!).
