Weekly Announcements:
BELIEVE // NEW YEAR’S DAY SERVICE & NEXT IN-PERSON GATHERING
On New Year’s Day, we will put up an online service here, on the website, for you to watch when you have time that week. If you’re new(er) to Revolution, our online services are always intended as a resource for you: they are designed to provide a time of teaching and a moment of worship. We hope you enjoy as Kenny helps us close out our year on (Un)Certainty!
…but what about in-person gatherings? We will return to our normal time/place on Sunday, January 8. Invite a friend and join us as we kick off a new year and a new theme at 10am at 1804 West St!
BELIEVE // CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE
On Christmas Eve, we joined dear friends from other local churches to celebrate the birth of Jesus as ONE CHURCH TOGETHER. It was a lovely time with our sisters and brothers in Christ… and if you would like to hear audio from the service, you can find it on under the Messages tab on the website, or on the Revolution podcast!
BECOME // NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS?!
2023 would be a great year to step in at Revolution and join a service team! There are particular needs right now in our children’s ministry (so many new kids!!) and our worship team. If you would like to step in, we would love to have you! Just get in touch with us at info@revolutionannapolis.com and we will help you with next steps!
BELONG // HERE FOR EACH OTHER
Although we are taking a break from our gatherings until January 8, we want you to know that you are not alone for the holidays! This can be a tough season for many, and if you need an ear, please don’t hesitate for a second to reach out to Kenny to talk. The Camacho family is in town this year, and our door is open. You can reach Kenny anytime by email (kenny@revolutionannapolis.com) or text (803.727.8500).
BECOME // YEAR-END GIFT
If you have the means and would be interested in supporting Revolution with a year-end gift, your generosity is both welcome and encouraged! As a church, we are committed to meeting the felt needs of our city and sharing the Good News of God’s love for the world as it has been shared with us through Jesus Christ. Every gift matters, and your donation not only supports our ministry, it also supports church planting through our partners at Stadia, as well as other churches and non-profits doing good work in our community. You can make a donation today by visiting the “Giving” page on our website, or by clicking HERE.
BELIEVE // COFFEE, ANYONE?
Do you have questions? Doubts? Would you just like to talk through things with someone? Kenny is always up for a coffee or lunch! Send him an email (kenny@revolutionannapolis.com) or text (803.727.8500) any time.
BECOME // SUPPORTING REVOLUTION CHURCH
At Revolution, we believe that our church needs to be a witness to God’s bottomless love and an example of what it means to wrestle and grow with our faith together. Following Jesus isn’t easy! But even in our doubts, if we take the things we are struggling to believe and put them into practice together, we learn to ask better questions and live in ways that are more beneficial for others.
If you want to join us in this mission, you can be a part in a few different ways:
First, you can commit to presence: it is our sincere hope as a church that you find real purpose and meaning in being a part of our services and groups at Revolution. They exist for you! But have you ever thought about what you have to offer those gatherings in return? Your unique perspective, hopes, experiences, and struggles are part of the bigger story of our church. You have an important part to play here, and that part begins by making faithful presence a priority!
Second, you can commit to generosity: we want to imitate God’s generosity by looking for ways we can share what we have been given with others to bring hope, justice, and safety to our neighbors. One way you can practice that generosity is by supporting our ministry here at Revolution financially: we are a non-profit organization committed to maintaining a Christian ministry in Annapolis, forgiving the debts of our neighbors, and financially supporting both church plants and existing churches in our area. Your gifts help keep this commitment going! But we also want to make sure you know that giving is important no matter where you do it: find a non-profit, charity, or aid organization whose cause you support and make a plan to be faithful and generous towards them! God can do more with our resources than we can… and giving is one of the practical ways we put our trust in what He can do.
Third, you can commit to service: here at Revolution, we are in need of all sorts of volunteers to keep our ministry going. This is particularly true as we continue to “emerge” from the pandemic! If you are available to help out on any of our Sunday morning teams, or with any of our groups or other outreach ministries during the week, we need you! This is a great way to contribute to the church… and to make new friends. But the city of Annapolis needs help, too! If you are able, make time in your week to participate in a routine act of service for our community. There are multiple food pantries we support, all of whom need help, as well as opportunities to work with kids in need of tutoring, care for unhoused residents in our city who need assistance, and serve as an advocate for a variety of justice-seeking non-profits working to make Annapolis a more equitable place to live. For help a place to serve, just talk with Kenny (kenny@revolutionannapolis.com) or our Community Engagement Lay Leader, Liz Wheeler (liziwheeler@gmail.com).
