News & Events
Spring Small Groups
We’re preparing our spring 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, a Bible study, a hobby or activity like gardening or gaming, or a spiritual practice. 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.
Wealth Management and Charitable Giving Seminar, Feb. 4, 2026
Sanctuary is offering a seminar on wealth management & charitable giving. The seminar will focus on charitable contributions and tax-related implications, including donating stocks and donor-advised funds. It’s happening on Wednesday, Feb. 4 at 6:30-7:30 p.m. in person at Sanctuary, with a Zoom option, and it will be led by Andy Picchietti, a fiduciary with Midwest Financial Group.
Worship Team Musicians Wanted
We’re looking for experienced musicians to join our worship team. Do you play drums, guitar, bass, or keys? Interested in joining the team? Email communications@sanctuaryic.org to learn more about auditioning.
