News & Events
$25 in 2025
In 2024, our expenses exceeded our donations by $16,800. To meet our budget goals in 2025, we’re asking each individual or family to consider increasing their giving to Sanctuary by $25 per month. If every household makes that increase, we will meet—and even exceed—our 2025 income target. If you give through PayPal or Venmo, you can update your giving and increase your donation by $25/month. If you give through ACH, or automatic withdrawals from checking, reach out to our bookkeeper Lori Smith at communications@sanctuaryic.org to request the $25/month increase. Thank you!
Winter Playgroup
Kids Ministry Director, Lianna Cornally, is hosting some winter playgroup days at Sanctuary on 1/23, 2/7, 2/28, 3/13, and 4/4 from 8:30-10:30 AM. Connect with other parents and enjoy snacks & beverages. Toys and games for little ones will be available.
Lead a Small Group
We’re preparing our spring semester 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 or book, a hobby or activity like gardening, a spiritual practice, or reading mysteries. At Sanctuary, we hope to offer a variety of groups that will help people connect and grow together. New groups will launch in early February. Have an idea? Email communications@sanctuaryic.org.
HOF Lunch
Our Hands On Faith (HOF) ministry is hosting a lunch for anyone connected to a local nonprofit that’s focused on serving the broader community. If you volunteer regularly or are on the board of a local nonprofit, we’d love to have you join us. It’s happening on Sunday, Feb. 16. Email david@sanctuaryic.org to RSVP.
Sanctuary the Book
We’re excited to announce the release of Sanctuary, the story of how our church left evangelical exclusion behind to become fully inclusive.
