For Renewal PT 1 Our mission is to "live the way of Jesus for the renewal of Niagara" but what does the word "renewal" really mean? What do we mean when we say that word? The word renewal comes with a lot of excitement for some, a lot of fear for others and big shrug of the shoulders for a few. Many people have a preconceived idea of what they think renewal means, so we want to take a few weeks to clarify what we mean by that word and what we are calling you into this year.
