On Sunday, families at The Sanctuary have an opportunity to be active in the community and make spiritual memories by participating in the School Pray at Bolingbrook High School. Before heading out to BHS, please meet in the Green Room at 12:30 p.m. to share refreshments, and to learn about what prayer is and how God uses it. We look forward to seeing you there!

AT THE MOVIES
During our summer sermon series, we want to encourage you to use this as an opportunity to get to know your neighbors.

June 26: The Martian
July 3: Inside Out
July 10: The War Room
July 17: McFarland USA

FIGHT CLUB
Some of the most noted, celebrated and godly men in the Bible made some very big mistakes when it came to raising their children.  Bad Dads of the Bible examines these mistakes and gives today’s dads much needed advice on how to avoid them, or repair damage that might already have been done. Between teaching and group discussion, men will tackle this topic together. The last Fight Club of the season is Saturday at 7:30 to 8:45 a.m.

NOW SERVING FAIR TRADE COFFEE
