Renew is a three-day retreat where you are immersed in God’s Word through interactive teaching sessions, worship, and engaging small group discussions. This retreat is for adults of any age and is a great way to build fellowship and community among believers. Single or married, in college or in a career, there is a place for you at Renew! There is time to relax and lots of activities! Hiking, basketball, volleyball, 9-square, octa ball, broomball, sledding, tubing, board games, euchre tournament, and more!

Our theme this year is "Lord, Teach Us to Pray": On the Practice of Prayer. Renew turns to one of the most personal and most profound questions of the Christian life: how do we pray? Together, we will explore discerning God's will, how our prayers relate to His sovereignty, what Jesus teaches us in the Lord's Prayer, and how to pray faithfully for those who are suffering.

Pastor Sam Fink
Heart of the Shepherd Lutheran Church

Pastor Fink serves Heart of the Shepherd Lutheran Church in Howell, MI, and he lives close by with his wife Kelsey, and their six kids. His favorite part about being a pastor is that when he invites himself over to people’s houses they feel obligated to say yes. He is a graduate of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, and Lee University in Cleveland, TN.
