Small Group Fair
Join us for our fall semester Small Group Fair on Sunday, Sept. 14, right after the church service. You can meet small group leaders in the foyer and sign up for a group. Plus, we’re serving cinnamon rolls to sweeten the deal.
Kids Wing Offering - Sept. 21
Sanctuary is home to over 160 children, and over 40 volunteers and hired workers regularly serve in the Kids Wing. It is our honor and privilege to create a safe, welcoming place where kids can experience God’s love and enter into the wonder of faith. Our goal is to raise $10,000 through this offering, and all of the funds raised will support our outstanding programming in the Kids Wing. This year, we're planning to use some of the funds to add rich, diverse, inclusive books to our classroom libraries. This may include new illustrated story bibles, nonfiction science, biographies, topical explorations of faith practices, and picture books depicting diverse human experiences that will broaden our concepts of both "love" and "neighbor." Please consider how you might contribute to this special offering. You can give through PayPal, Venmo (@SanctuaryCommunityChurch), or in person at church. Thank you!
Winter Clothing Drive
Sanctuary’s Hands On Faith ministry is partnering with dozens of other faith communities to conduct a Winter Clothing Drive. We’re collecting new and gently used adult and children winter coats, jackets, hats, gloves/mittens, boots, pants, sweatshirts, and sweaters. Bring donated items to church any Sunday in September and place them in the donation bin near the Welcome Table. Thank you!
Women’s Breakfast, Nov. 1
Save the date for our next Women’s Event on November 1st. There will be a breakfast, along with speakers and discussion from 8:30-10:30 a.m., followed by an extra hour of a coffeehouse experience with friends. Mark your calendars!
New Church Database
Sanctuary has recently adopted a new database system. In the process of migrating all our data, you may receive an email notification regarding donations, particularly if you and your partner have a combined account for giving. If you have any questions about it, don't hesitate to reach out to the staff.
Outdoor Games
Starting Sunday, May 18, we're providing some outdoor games in the upper parking lot area after the church service. Play games and hang out with others from Sanctuary in this beautiful weather. We'll offer games and activities as much as possible in these nicer weather months. **A NOTE TO PARENTS** We section off an area of the parking lot for safety, but please be mindful of your children and provide appropriate supervision. Thank you!
Worship Team Musicians Wanted
We’re looking for experienced musicians to join our worship team. Do you play drums, guitar, bass, or keys? Interested in joining the team? Email communications@sanctuaryic.org to learn more about auditioning.
