Everyone is welcome to join Sanctuary Sisters on Sunday, August 28th at 1:30 pm for an amazing behind-the-scenes tour of Meadow Brook Hall. Tickets are $10, payable to Sanctuary Church by July 10th. Children 5 and under are free. If desired, please bring a bag lunch to enjoy after worship. We will carpool from the church parking lot for those interested.

As summer comes to an end, we welcome you to join us for our Welcome Home Picnic on September 11, immediately following worship. Lunch will be provided. During our time together, we will be assembling baskets for new mothers to donate to Lighthouse (formerly SOS). If you are able to donate newborn or size 1 diapers or baby wipes, it would be greatly appreciated. We can’t wait to share a time to service and fellowship with you.

The Outreach Team has designated the September mission offering to benefit American Baptist Home Mission Societies, which receive funding from the American Baptist One Great Hour of Sharing offering. OGHS is an ecumenical effort of nine Christian denominations working in cooperation with Church World Service, to assist communities in times of crisis and provide immediate relief and long-term recovery after disasters. AHMS support crisis relief ministries across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. On September 25, the Living Faith Team will welcome Lynne Punnett, ABC Region Consultant for short-term missions, to speak to us about organizing mission teams in Haiti, which she has coordinated each year since 2011. She will also update us about ministries to Puerto Rico and the recent flooding crisis in Kentucky.
