Ruth and Naomi's Mission is "transforming the lives of people experiencing homelessness, poverty, or struggling with addiction by bringing hope and healing through the love of God."
Sardis Fellowship has the opportunity to serve a meal at RAN every second Monday of the month from 5:45-7:15pm. We will be serving the food and cleaning up afterwards and need 6-10 volunteers per night that are 16 years or older.
Ruth and Naomi’s is located at 41630 Margaret Avenue. Arrive at 5:45pm and go to the smaller office building not the multi-story housing building. The Hall Entrance has a white canopy over it and once inside talk to the RAN host. The host will show you where you are to serve and what needs to be done. Enjoy time serving and visiting with people, then helping with taking down tables and cleaning up. Clean up is usually finished by 7:15pm.
Thank you for serving in this area.

Freedom Session will be running at Sardis Fellowship starting Thursday September 19th at 7pm. Freedom Session is a powerful, healing-discipleship journey, inviting you to rewrite your story with a God-inspired ending.
Through biblical teaching, small group discussion and personal reflection, Jesus will heal your heart and empower you to live a life of freedom and purpose.
Freedom Session is one of the most effective, encompassing and transferable healing-discipleship ministries available. Jesus doesn’t identify you according to your behaviours or behaviours committed against you; neither will we. As you open your life, hurts and will to the leadership of Jesus, and invite Him to reinterpret the painful memories that Satan uses to keep you in bondage, Jesus will heal your heart, set you free and give you a vision for life you never thought possible.
Operation Christmas Child is sending out their Christmas Shoe Boxes around the world again and we would love to participate together as a church. Bring in your box to help us fill our tree of gifts for Operation Christmas Child! You have until November 17th to bring in your box!

Join us for a day of prayer and fasting on November 4th. You can choose to participate in this day of prayer however you would like, wherever you find yourself.
As an initiative to increase our dependency on the Spirit, and seeking God to do a transformative work in and through Sardis Fellowship, we set aside the first day of the month to fast and pray. We know not everyone is able to do this in the same way, or to the same degree, so we ask you to consider how you can make this work for you.
Each month we highlight something to focus on, whether that be in the life of our church family, our local community or world. Sometimes we have specific things for you to pray through and sometimes we just give you the focus and allow God’s Spirit to guide you in your prayer time around that topic.
If we as a church family want to see the transformative power of God at work in our lives, the lives of our loved ones, and the community we live in, then we need to seek Him in prayer. I trust you’ll join us each month. Pastor Rod Heppell.
November 4th: Prayer and Fasting
