This Week’s Announcements:
BELONG// ADVENT DEVOTIONAL
The Advent season presents a wonderful opportunity for us to try out new resources for spiritual growth. This year, we want to let you know about a tool created by the Bible Institute of Los Angeles (BIOLA) called “The Advent Project.” The Advent Project is a daily devotional series celebrating the beauty and meaning of the Advent season through art, music, poetry, prayer, Scripture, and a written devotion. The project starts on the first day of Advent and continues through Epiphany. Their goal is “to help individuals quiet their hearts and enter into a daily routine of worship and anticipatory reflection during this meaningful but often hectic season.” The website is FREE TO USE, and we would love for you to make it part of your rhythm this season!
You can learn more HERE!
BELONG // WOMEN’S CHRISTMAS PARTY & COOKIE/ORNAMENT EXCHANGE

Sarah will be making dinner, and you’re invited to join in on the fun. Festivities will begin at 6pm—please let Sarah know if you’re planning to make it!
BELONG // OUTDOOR GROUP CHRISTMAS SCAVENGER HUNT!
Come join the Outdoors Group for a Christmas-themed scavenger hunt in downtown Annapolis!

BELIEVE // COMBINED CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE
On December 24, Revolution will be joining with other churches in our city to celebrate Christmas Eve together! A combined candlelight service will be held at Heritage Baptist Church beginning at 6pm. This event is an extremely special holiday tradition for us: a chance not only to celebrate Jesus’s birth, but to do so alongside fellow Christians and neighbors from a variety of churches, denominations, and backgrounds. We would love for you to join us!
BECOME // END-OF-YEAR DONATIONS TO SUPPORT REVOLUTION
Revolution is an entirely self-sufficient church community… which means that our continued ministry in our city is always a matter of your generous support! As 2025 comes to a close, if you have the means and desire to make an end-of-year gift, you are invited to do so at www.revolutionannapolis.com/giving… or by clicking HERE. We continue to be amazed and grateful for the contributions that keep this lovely little church going!
BECOME// HELPING OUR NEIGHBORS: SOUP FOR THE HAVEN
Our friends at The Haven (led by our own Lindsey Wilkins!) are serving soup to our unhoused neighbors! Lindsey has created a sign up for soup, and all you need to do is 1) make some soup and 2) drop it off for serving. Get in touch with Kenny for more details!
BELIEVE // PRAYER TEAM & PRAYER REQUESTS!
Are there any areas of your life where we can support you in prayer? Please let us know your prayer request HERE, and our Lay Leader Care Coordinator, Joe Pfeifer, will be in touch. These requests will be kept confidential within the prayer team.
BELONG // ONLINE BIBLE STUDY GROUP
The Online Bible Study is a great place to get involved in community and expand your understanding of Scripture… all from the comfort of home! You are always invited to jump in with these studies any time! The group meets on Monday nights over Zoom, and for more information about how to get involved, just get in touch with our Discipleship Lay Leader, Dante Griffin, at dangriff67@gmail.com!
BELIEVE // COFFEE, ANYONE?
Do you have questions? Doubts? Would you just like to talk through things with someone? Kenny is also always up for that, too! Just send him an email (kenny@revolutionannapolis.com) or text (803.727.8500).
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. 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.
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, Cathy Miller (cathygrowinghealthy@gmail.com).
