This Week At Renovation | June 22, 2022
You magnanimous and marvelous movement of people,
We are officially in the summer, which means that we have entered the - “it’s too hot to leave my house” season of Atlanta weather. I think the best meme I have seen in a while that accurately describes this season is this…
Over the next several weeks, there will be an overarching and repeated theme. SERVE DAY! That’s it. That’s the TWAR. Sign up for Serve Day!. Info and Link below.
In addition to that, we have an update from our Global Missionaries and more information about KAA Kamps.
- Love Yall. | Pastor Doug
SERVE DAY | JULY 16, 2022
“You call me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord,’ and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. - John 13:13-15
Serve Day is a church-wide event where we have the opportunity to show our community the love of Jesus through what Jesus embodied; Service to Others. Renovation Church has a wonderful community in the Northwest that we want to love on and love well. July 16th, 2022 we will open our campus and go into neighborhoods serving those we encounter. You should expect the following:
Free t-shirts
Food
Play
Fun
Music
Trash Pickup
Community Engagement
Encouraging Word

In the previous post, I shared with you that you can maximise your happiness by making a difference in your home (area one) and by making a difference in your church (area 2). Home and church are two of five areas in which you can serve others, make a difference, and maximise your happiness. Today I want to share with you three other areas where you can make a difference, and it will maximise your happiness and change someone else's life.
Maximise your happiness by making a difference in your sphere of influence.
Beyond our home and our church, each of us has influence. Where we live, work, hang out, workout, go to school, etc. We have influence. And if you want to experience lasting, maximum happiness, you have to look for ways to make a difference in people's lives in those spheres of influence. What would it look like if you were the chief servant in your corporation or at the hospital where you work? What would it look like if you were others-focused at your gym rather than indulging in your "me time." What would it look like if you kept your eyes out for the lonely or lost, or alienated on campus?
Global Missionary Update | J & J
Over the summer, we have been refreshed reflecting on the exciting work of Bible translation in Southeast Asia. We wanted to share this reflection with you, our partners, who make this work possible.
We are currently on home assignment while J finishes his master's degree in Bible translation. He recently took a class that reminded us of the bigger picture - the reasons we signed up for this in the first place. This branch of our work is called Scripture engagement. We wanted to share this crucial aspect of our work with you.
KAA Summer Kamp | July 18-22
Kids Across America will be using our Water Place property to host a week-long summer camp. Each day the KAA staff will have organized sports and adventure activities for children ages 9-13. The summer camp is daily from July 18-22. This is an amazing opportunity for children to hear the Good News of Jesus and have a great time OUTSIDE!
Wednesday Evening | @renovationatl
Join us on Wednesday for our breakdown of that weeks sermon.
Give God Your First And Your Best (APEST)
God’s story of redemption is told through the generosity of his people. We are reminded of that truth every time we see the impact that your ministry has on a child of God.
The word redemption is a word that’s lost in today’s vernacular. Sometimes, unfortunately, it’s lost in some Christian circles. I am currently reading the book “Redeeming Love” by Francine Rivers. (It’s so good! 10 out of 10. Highly recommend it.) The book is based on the Book of Hosea. Reading “Redeeming Love”, and seeing the movie, re-introduced me to the concept of redemption. Re-learning about redemption made me even more in awe of our Heavenly Father!
