Next week is Father's Day!

To Go Tuesdays is a brand new initiative for anyone to pick up a meal as supplies last. This is from 1 - 2 pm on Tuesdays. We praise the Lord again for the opportunity to minister in a new way through our church - Santa Clara Citadel. Feel free to come by and pick up a meal for yourself or give to another.

The Clothing Closet is open for business. If you know someone who may be in need of clothes, please refer them to us. We are now taking appointments.

We praise the Lord for allowing us the space and resources to open a Community Clothing Closet. We pray that it will be another touch point for us to show the love of God and create an avenue to this loving body of Christ. If you might be interested in volunteering for this ministry through hanging clothes, meeting people as they shop, data input and more, please let us know.

Anthem

Are you ready for a life-changing retreat, full of worship, fellowship, fun and learning? We are delighted to tell you that it is time to register for Anthem!

What is Anthem?

Anthem is a week-long event for young adults, ages 18 - 28, that gives space for participants to explore the story of Jesus and learn how it intertwines with their own stories and the stories of others. Anthem is more than an event; it’s a safe place for young adults to experience community and discover what it means to live out the story of Jesus in their own lives.

This year, the focus will be on Stories of Grace from the scriptures and from hearing each other’s.
