Sanctuary Interior Team (SIT) Exciting news! The new chairs for the sanctuary have been ordered and we are looking forward to their arrival. In addition, the Council has formed an ad hoc committee to assist the Building Team with planning the rest of the sanctuary renovation. The SIT members are Doug Heys, Phyllis Lont, Lisa Boer and Laurie Dykstra (chair). The committee is tasked with coming up with a plan to complete the renewal of our worship space. As the team meets and starts re-imagining the space, we welcome any input you may have in any area you feel you have expertise. If you would like to put forth some ideas or information, you may contact Laurie Dykstra.

Getting Connected We encourage you to get connected with a community group for fellowship and mutual support. It is far too easy to simply come to church on Sunday and then slip out. We want to get to know you better, so join us! If you would like more information about any group, please contact the Church Office.
Cadets (Boys grades 3-6) The goal of Cadeting is to help boys grow spiritually in all areas of life—devotional, mental, physical, and social. The Cadets meet most Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in Fellowship Hall during the school year. GEMS (Girls Everywhere Meeting the Savior) This club for girls in grades 3-6 meets on Wednesday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in various rooms at church. Our activities include Bible lessons, praise/worship, badges, crafts and other fun things. ALIVE Youth Group (JH and HS students) This year, we are combining our JH and HS students in a group called ALIVE (always living in view of eternity). We meet on the first and third Wednesdays of each month, unless noted otherwise. Our next meeting is on Wednesday, October 4 at 7:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Room. Couples' Club (for Couples of All Ages) This groups meets one Saturday evening per month from October through May. We look forward to starting our new year at the Vedders' Home on Saturday, October 14 at 6:30 p.m. Call the Church Office if you would like to learn more about this group.
Sunday Afternoon Bible Study (Adults all ages) This group of adults meets once a month in various homes every third Sunday from September through May. Our next meeting is Sunday, October 15 at 3:00 p.m. We will continue in our study by Dale Larsen entitled, "Growing Older and Wiser." Men’s Bible Study The Men’s Bible Study meets most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Room. We are focusing on the Book of Titus. All men are welcome, so please join us! Women’s Monday PM Bible Study The Women's Monday Evening Bible Study meets most Monday evenings at 7:00 p.m. in Rooms 201-202. We are continuing in our study, Embracing God's Grace. This study is one that does not require continuity, so all women are invited to join us at any time. Women's Thursday AM Bible Study Join us on Thursday mornings at 9:30 a.m. in Rooms 201-202 as work through our study, Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver. This includes video introductions and lessons for this 12-week study. Please contact Harriet Jonkman if you need help getting the book. Because of some travel schedules, our next meeting is Thursday, October 12. See you then!
Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NLT)

Shoreline Christian Reformed Church is a gospel and grace-centered
community learning how to follow Jesus. We belong to a broader community called The Christian Reformed Church. What does this mean? We call ourselves… Christian… Because we belong to Jesus Christ and want to be his followers.
Reformed…
Church…
Because we’re part of the historic branch of the Christian church that follows the teachings of the leaders of the Protestant Reformation, who struggled to return Christianity to its biblical roots. Because God has called us to be a fellowship of his people in the world.
