Looking for a way to get connected and have church feel like family? Come GROW in your relationship with God and in relationship with others by trying out a Growth Group! Interested in learning how you can get involved? Sign ups begin today at the Info Table, and groups will begin meeting the week of Sept. 27.
WOMEN’S LINK
Women’s ministry, in conjunction with growth groups, will have a Monday evening and Wednesday morning women’s-centered small group at the church this fall, beginning the week of Sept. 20. Sign up at the Info Table if you are interested in joining a group.
ANNUAL MEETING
Mark your calendars for 6 p.m. Sept. 20 for our Annual Meeting. Members will vote to approve the budget for the new fiscal year, elder positions and new members. Childcare will be available. We also will have an Info Meeting to discuss details of the budget at 3:30 p.m. today in the Community Room. Anyone who attends The Sanctuary is welcome to attend the Annual Meeting, but only members can vote.
LUNCH WITH THE PASTOR
If you are new to The Sanctuary, make plans to attend Lunch with the Pastor right after second service Sept. 20. This is a great opportunity to find out more about the mission and vision of the church, get to know Pastor Ronn, ask questions, and, of course, enjoy lunch together. Please sign up at the Info Table if you plan to attend. Childcare will be available.
IDENTIFY YOUR GIFTS
God has created each one of us with unique gifts and talents. But maybe you aren’t sure exactly what your gifts are or how you can use your passion to serve Him. Join us at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 20 and 27 for a two-week class that will help you identify your gifts and learn specific details on how to use them at The Sanctuary. Sign up at the Info Table or on your tear-off section. (Cost is $10 to help cover the cost of materials.)
MEN’S MINISTRY
The Fight Club will begin the fall season Sept. 26. Men will meet from 7:30 to 8:45 a.m. every other Saturday morning in the Community Room. The fall curriculum will be a video series and discussion called FIGHT, which looks at the life of Samson. The Fight Club is a group of men fighting for Marriage, Family, and Purity.
FOCAL POINT
If you love taking photos, but you would like to learn more about the basics of photography, join us for Focal Point, a six-week group for anyone who loves to use a camera.
