A Silent Art Auction is being planned for Saturday, November 7, 2009 from 11am to 2pm. A percentage of the proceeds will benefit the Lansdale Boys and Girls Club.  The auction will be held at the Lansdale Public Library (301 Vine Street Lansdale, PA 19446).

Additional information will be provided after October 5, however, if you have any further questions, please contact Kristi Chester. Your support of this event is greatly appreciated. Please let us know if you would like to be more involved in the planning of this auction – we would be glad to have you join us!

Doubt::night tomorrow night from 7:30 – 9:30 at the Third and Walnut Bar and Grille.

Doubt::night is a laid-back yet intentional opportunity for anyone (age 18 and over) interested in discussing questions about life, faith, God, Jesus, and the church. Regardless of your religious background, we hope you will join us.

Due to several recent deaths caused by drug overdose of several high school students in our area, a few people from Renew have worked to start the One Life One Chance Drug Awareness Walk. The walk will be held on Saturday, September 19 from 10 am to 2 pm at Souderton Community Park.
Duane Freed and Loren Knox’s house church is serving to help out at this event. You can join them, too.

The 2009 Univest Bike Race is Saturday, September 12 and the race will be coming through the streets of Lansdale.

A Lansdale Borough Council member contacted Renew and asked if we could help with the race as cyclists race their way through the borough.
Interested in volunteering to make the race a success?

At Renew our desire is for people to be equipped in order to be sent out to join God in His mission for the world.
Biblical Seminary (just ten minutes away from Lansdale) is beginning a new program to help do just that.
Some of you may be thinking, “I don’t want to go to seminary to get a degree.”
This program was designed specifically for people who want to lead and serve in their churches, but aren’t looking to receive a seminary degree or work in the church.

There are several courses offered this fall.
A variety of topics – leadership, Genesis, understanding the Old Testament, building strong marriages, lay counseling, church history, etc.
Each course is offered one night a week for 6 weeks.
There is no homework, no grades and no academic credit – just an intentional environment to learn.
It involves easy registration – by phone or email.
And its not expensive – the cost is only $89.
We highly recommend these classes and strongly encourage you to take a serious look.
