Afterlife Workshop
What does life after death look like? Is there a hell? How important is our view of the afterlife in our faith? For many of us, the clear-cut answers we received to these questions stopped working as our faith evolved and changed. And now, we’re wondering what’s next. What perspectives on the afterlife actually work for us, how do we nurture them, and how do we pass them onto our children? If you can relate, this workshop is for you. We’ll share about our own upbringing, reflect on what’s meaningful and helpful for us today, and engage in a short spiritual practice of letting go and receiving the new. It’s happening on Sunday, Nov. 16, 6:30-8:00 p.m. at Sanctuary. RSVP to david@sanctuaryic.org.
New Sunday Protocol
Starting Sunday, Nov. 2, the main entrance doors will be locked at 10:10 a.m when the Sunday morning greeters go off duty. The doors will remain locked until 11 a.m. So if you or your children want to go out of the building and return during the service, just have someone with you to let you/them back in. For latecomers, a new doorbell camera has been installed that they can ring, and a staff person or assigned volunteer will respond and let them in. We’re implementing this protocol so that we can monitor who comes in, or who wants to come in, across our entire Sunday morning. Feel free to direct any questions to the staff. Thanks!
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.
