December 20 - Red Kettle Bell Ringers for Salvation Army
Sherwood Oaks hopes to fill every Red Kettle position for the Salvation Army in Monroe County on Saturday, December 20! When you volunteer to stand at their kettles, you’re not just ringing a bell... you’re changing lives and strengthening our community. Volunteers are the difference between an empty kettle and one that raises about $30 per hour – enough to provide a family with two bags of groceries or shelter an individual for a night. We have approximately 100 slots open for individuals, families, groups or connect groups! Click below to register.
December 23 & 24 - Candlelight Christmas Eve
Join us for Christmas Eve at Sherwood Oaks Bloomington this Christmas! We'll have four identical Christmas Eve services to fit your schedule. Join us Tuesday night, December 23 at 7:00pm or Wednesday night, December 24 at 2:30pm, 4:00pm or 5:30pm. Bring your family and join us for this special holiday service. All four services will be live-streamed on Facebook, YouTube and our website. Childcare for children 24 months and younger will be available at all four Christmas Eve services.
