Hello Sonrise Church!

Thank you for signing up to receive our weekly Sonrise Southwest eNews! We want to do everything we can to equip people to experience a life-changing relationship with Jesus! Check out our website www.sonrisechurch.info for more information!

Just a reminder that Sonrise will have just one family-oriented service at 9:30 a.m. this Sunday. Plan to worship as a family that day - nursery care and Kidzone will not be offered.

Giving envelopes for our special Christmas Eve Offering are available.

Every year, Sonrise Church uses its Christmas Eve offering to provide a practical demonstration of God's presence to those in need. This year, all monies collected will support three causes:
  • FOOD: Blessings in a Backpack, providing food to local children on the weekend
  • WATER: Let Them LOL, giving people in Sierra Leone clean water
  • SHELTER: Epworth Forest, contributing to the construction of the Stan Buck Lodge

Pick up an envelope on Sunday and pray for God's direction in your giving. 

 

Are you new to Sonrise and interested in learning more about the church and how to get connected? Join us for NEXT on January 18 - it's an opportunity to meet with a pastor or two and others new to Sonrise so you can learn more about the church. We'll share with you a bit of our history and our mission of Life Change. We'll talk about children's ministry and student ministry, Life Groups and service opportunities; we'll answer your questions and take a brief tour of the facility. Join us in the Garage at either 9:30 or 11 a.m. for an hour of learning about what is NEXT for you at Sonrise.
