News & Events
School Supply Drive
Sanctuary is partnering with dozens of faith communities and nonprofits for a School Supply Drive. Here is a list of the requested items: colored pencils, crayons, washable markers, scissors, glue sticks, folders, composition notebooks, and spiral notebooks. You can bring donated supplies to church by Sunday, August 2 and place them in the donation bin near the Welcome Table. Thank you!
Baptism
We’re planning to celebrate baptisms this summer on Sunday, August 30th. If you’re interested in learning more or signing up, contact david@sanctuaryic.org.
Lead a Small Group
We’re preparing our fall small groups, and we’re looking for folks who are interested in hosting or leading a group. “What’s alive to you?” That’s the question we use to prompt ideas for groups. Maybe it’s a podcast, a Bible study, a hobby or activity like gardening or gaming, or a spiritual practice. At Sanctuary, we hope to offer a variety of groups that will help people connect and grow together. New groups will launch in mid-September. Have an idea? Email communications@sanctuaryic.org.
Outdoor Games
After church each Sunday, we'll offer games and activities as much as possible in the 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.
Sermon Podcast
Miss a Sunday? You can listen to the Sunday message on Sanctuary's weekly podcast. Search for "Sunday Teachings - Sanctuary Community Church" in iTunes or wherever you listen to podcasts.
