News & Events
Sanctuary 101
Newer to Sanctuary? Wondering what we're about or hoping to connect further? Sanctuary 101 is for you! This 1-hour class is happening on Sunday, May 19, beginning at 11:10 AM following the Sunday service. Sub sandwiches and other lunch food will be served, and childcare will be provided. RSVP to Pam (pam@sanctuaryic.org).
Parenting & Faith Seminar
May 5, 7-8:30 p.m.
How do I pass on an inclusive, healthy faith to my children? What’s even the goal of parenting when it comes to church and faith? What do I do when my kids have faith questions that I don’t know the answers to? If you find yourself asking these types of questions, this event is for you. Join other Sanctuary parents to discuss parenting and faith. We’ll share some tips, but mostly there will be time for discussion at table groups and sharing our questions and ideas. This is a continuation of a previous seminar, and it will emphasize practical takeaways.
Clothing Drive through May 19
Our Hands On Faith ministry is conducting a clothing drive to benefit the Crisis Stabilization Unit at UIHC. We’re collecting new and gently-used adult-sized clothing of any kind, but especially t-shirts, sweatpants, shorts, sweatshirts, sports bras, slides, and jackets. Bring any donated items to church and place them in the donation bin near the Welcome Table any Sunday through May 19. Thank you!
Volunteer with Houses Into Homes
Join Sanctuary's Hands On Faith Ministry to volunteer with Houses Into Homes on Saturday, May 18, 9 AM - 1 PM. We'll meet at their warehouse and help move furniture and household items into people's homes. Light and heavy lifters welcome. Children are welcome too as long as they are accompanied by an adult volunteer. Questions? Contact david@sanctuaryic.org.
Sanctuary’s 25th Anniversary Party!
This year marks Sanctuary’s 25th Anniversary. We’re planning to celebrate during the Sunday service on Sunday, August 25, 2024, followed by a party at the church. We’ll have food, games, a Kona Ice Truck, a photo booth and more. So save the date! More details will be shared as we get closer to the celebration.
