The Sardis Sanctuary Choir is again selling Christmas poinsettias as a fundraiser, and we are asking for your support. The plants, obtained from Kings, will be gorgeous and will make a nice holiday addition to your home or a wonderful gift to a friend. Funds raised will be used for special musicians and other special music presentations. Click here to place your order!

The Salty Fish Sunday School class will be spending some time in prayer for the upcoming election this Sunday, November 6. There will be no political slant or discussion. The time will be structured and should be comfortable for all who attend. The class is open and all who would like to attend are welcome to join the group at 10:00 a.m. in Room 210 or via Zoom.

Join us on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. in Room 210 and on Zoom as we take an in-depth look at small segments of scripture from the Gospel According to Matthew, so that in our understanding, we may know how God is calling us to apply it to our lives. Come with your questions and join in the discussion. Please contact Renda Brinson (704.458.0366) for the Zoom link.

Our Angel Tree is part of our Planting Seeds of Hope partnership with Rama Road Elementary School. The school identifies families who need some help for the holidays, then sends us the list of little angels who we will be helping have a merry Christmas. Again this year, we will be using Sign Up Genuis to pick our angels. 

We will share the link with you through our weekly emails and a QR code you'll find at our tree set up in the new Mission Corner in the Gathering Place. Our Sign Up Genius will provide you with all the angels listed along with age and helpful gift suggestions. If shopping isn’t an option, you can still help by making a donation to our Angel Tree fund. Everything collected is used to help the children and families at Rama Road Elementary School. As the need grows, your support is appreciated more than ever. Thank you Sardis!

We are looking for volunteers to join the AV and tech team for our 9:00 Contemporary Worship service. We need one volunteer each Sunday to help advance slides and assist with other easy AV and tech support tasks. Our Technical Arts Coordinator, John Nipe, will provide instructions and training. Click here to sign-up for a Sunday (or two)! 

The nursery is open for both the 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. worship services and we need your help to keep it running smoothly! We're so excited about our brand new nursery location, the former Resource Room next to the Adult Library, and hope that you'll check it out! Sign up to volunteer here! Contact Sarah Dianne Jones with any questions. 

The Director of Youth Ministry search committee is thrilled to announce that Betsy Kelly will be our next Director of Youth Ministry! After a long, nationwide search, we discovered that God had already placed our next youth director right in our pews, as Betsy joined Sardis in March 2022.

Do you have a friend, neighbor, or family member that would appreciate a prayer shawl? These are made with loving hands from Sardis members and can be a source of great strength especially during times of distress. Please reach out to Katie Harrington or Stephen Yount for more information on receiving one.  

We Remember in Prayer: Louise Chamberlain in Atrium Main; and Doug Dawson.

Your church family wants to pray for you. If you have a procedure or are in the hospital, please let the church office know so we can, as a church family, be praying your healing.
