News & Events
Financial Update
As we come to the end of 2024, here’s a snapshot of Sanctuary’s finances through November:
- 2024 Donations (Jan-Nov): $434,147
- 2024 Expenses (Jan-Nov): $450,038
- 2024 Net: -$15,891
We’re running a deficit for the year, but it’s not uncommon for above average donations to come in December. If you consider Sanctuary your church home or want to contribute to its mission in the world, please consider an extra donation this month to help. Thank you!
Mitten Tree at Sanctuary
Our Hands On Faith ministry & children’s ministry have organized a collection for winter hats, mittens, and gloves. NEW and GENTLY USED items can be brought to Sanctuary any Sunday in December and placed on or under the Christmas tree in the foyer. All donated items will go to Coralville Central Elementary. Thank you!
Christmas Eve Service
Join us for our traditional, family-friendly Christmas Eve service on Sunday, Dec. 24th at 4:30 p.m. The service includes Christmas carols, Scripture readings, a story for children, and candle-lit singing of “Silent Night.” Cookies and cider will be served after the service.
Dec. 29: No Sunday Service
There will be no Sunday service on Dec. 29th at Sanctuary. Enjoy the holidays!
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.
