The Slice: Don’t Miss Motorcycles on Sunday!
We are so excited to be hosting our fourth annual Motorcycles on Sunday this Sunday during the 11 a.m. service. This is a fabulous morning to invite friends to ride their motorcycles to church. Pastor Ronn will pray a blessing over our guests after the service, and we will host a free lunch and activities beginning at 12:15. Bring a lawn chair or blanket to relax on. Take some time to look at all the bikes and vote for your favorite! Go to motorcyclesonsunday.com for more info. COMMISSIONING SUNDAY We have an exciting summer coming up, with many individuals and families from our church body participating in missions experiences. On June 1 we will be taking time during the service to commission everyone spending time on the mission field this summer. Twenty people from The Sanctuary will be leaving safety for adventure and leaving comfort for compassion as they serve those in other parts of the world. Please be in prayer for all of those in our church family who are heading out on short-term mission trips!
