Sanctuary Covenant Church

🎒 Back to School Sunday Blessings!🎒

This past Sunday, we gathered to pray over and bless our incredible students and educators as they head into a new school year! Seeing all these young people and so many educators of all stripes up front, being prayed for, ready to shine their light in the world, was truly inspiring!

At Sanctuary, we believe strongly in equipping the next generation with the love and wisdom of Christ as they step into learning this year. Thank you to all the teachers, students, and families who joined us in this special moment. Let’s keep lifting our young people and educators in prayer throughout this school year. 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏼

Our Facility Manager, Kevin, snapped this beautiful shot from the LoveMpls garden this week. It’s one of many visible reminders that good and beauty can be cultivated wherever God’s people commit to being present and active in the name of Jesus! That’s been our focus since we were founded in 2003 and the work continues with us today!

Let’s continue make a difference in North Minneapolis and beyond by showing up and being a blessing!

🌟✈️ It was wheels up this morning for this awesome group of Mosaic Youth as they boarded their flight to UNITE 2024! We’re excited for them to have a wonderful week of growth, fellowship, and unforgettable experiences! Please keep these students and leaders in your prayers as they travel and dive into all that God has in store for them this week! ✈️🌟

Come celebrate Pastor Edrin's 5th year anniversary as our senior pastor! We have power and A/C after last night's storm! See you in person at 9 or 11 or online anytime!

We’re still feeling ✨ FULL ✨ after our first ever brunch church!

That’s what happens when Jesus sets the table for us to gather around, He fills us up! 🙌🏽

🎨✨ Last week, our 2nd Free Community Art Class was a hit! Participants crafted beautiful watercolor bookmarks, framed art, and so much more.

Join us for a free class each Wednesday from 1pm to 3pm in the church lobby at 2018 Aldrich Ave North. Let your creativity shine! ✨🎨

✨ Last Sunday, we embarked on a transformative journey with our new sermon series: Building God’s House. ✨

Aligned with our church’s yearly mission, People of the Book, this series is rooted in the powerful message of the book of Haggai. After returning from exile, God’s people were called to prioritize rebuilding the temple, symbolizing their renewed commitment to God. Haggai’s message resonates today as he urges us to consider our ways, turn back to God, and rebuild His house despite any resistance. He reassures us of God’s presence and promises of future blessings for those who remain faithful.

In a time where our commitments are often stretched thin, this series calls us to realign our priorities towards God and His mission. We see this challenge manifest in various ways:

Volunteer Culture & Engagement: Our community needs deeper commitment, as many leaders struggle to balance their roles due to busy schedules. We are calling everyone to step up and support each other.

Heavy Care Load: Our staff and elders carry a significant burden of ministry work. It’s time to equip our entire congregation to share in this ministry, fostering a spirit of unity and collaboration.

Throughout this series, we will encourage our church family to prioritize the strengthening of the church through:

🔍 Personal Examination & Realigning of Priorities
💰 Stewardship & Generosity
🌱 Spiritual Renewal
🤝 Unity & Collaborative Work
🌟 Hope & Perseverance

Join us as we come together to build a house that glorifies God and strengthens our community.
