5 Years of Renew!
The Winter 2026-27 quarter edition marks 5 years for Renew. The team of writers, editors, graphic designer, proofreader, and administrator are dedicated to Renew's mission from its beginning in 2021 to provide adult Sunday school curriculum with an evangelical Anabaptist perspective to equip people to be the body of Christ for his glory. We want to glorify God because of what he has done for us in renewing our lives through the death of Jesus on the cross for our sins and by being victorious over death through Jesus’ resurrection from the dead. We recognize that we need daily renewal in his Word through the Holy Spirit to be the body of Christ for his glory. We praise God for how he has provided for and worked through Renew the past five years and how he will continue to provide for and work in the lives of those who use Renew in the future. |
