Anchor Church

05/29/2026

Stepping into the weekend with this kind of energy. We are still thinking about the great time we had at our Anchor Youth Paint Night with these incredible students. It is a joy to see them growing together and having so much fun in the process. We hope your weekend is full of laughter and good community just like this.

If you are visiting Anchor for the first time we have a special guest gift bag waiting for you that includes this fun custom sticker. We want every person who walks through our doors to feel welcomed and appreciated right from the start.

Join us this Sunday morning at 11:00 a.m. to see what our community is all about. We have so many exciting things planned for this summer and we would love for you to be a part of them. Whether you are looking for a church home or are just passing through we hope to see you there.

Nobody spend more time planning a vacation than their vocation. But, many of us plan our vacation more than our eternal destination!

Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord. Because your labor is not in vein.

It is found in the moments where we slow down to pray for, lean on, and support one another. We believe church should be a place where you feel known and welcomed exactly as you are.

We invite you to experience that community for yourself tomorrow morning at 11:00 a.m. as we continue our series on The Creed. Our time together will include worship, prayer, and a sermon, followed by some intentional time to just connect with each other. We also have Anchor Kids open during the service for the kiddos. If you have never been to Anchor before, we would absolutely love to see you tomorrow.

As the weather gets warmer and the days get brighter, it is the perfect time to take our gratitude outside. Nature has a unique way of turning our attention back to God and prompting us to praise him for the beauty of his handiwork. Let's make sure to step outdoors this week, enjoy the sunshine, and give thanks for the creation around us.

How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:24

This photo from our worship night earlier this month perfectly captures the heart behind that evening. Alongside worship and prayer, we used butcher paper and markers to map out our thoughts, prayers, and reflections as we navigated the night together. It allowed us to engage our hearts and minds in a different way.

Worship is meant to be a daily rhythm, but it is easy to fall into a routine. If you are looking to connect with God in a fresh way over the next few days, try one of these three ideas:

1. Change your posture. If you normally pray while sitting at a desk or lying in bed, try kneeling, sitting on the floor, or pacing around your room. Sometimes a shift in your physical posture can completely refocus your mind.

2. Curate a gratitude list. Take five minutes at the end of your day to write down three highly specific things that brought you joy or comfort. Acknowledging those small moments is a simple but profound act of worship.

3. Read scripture aloud. Pick a short passage, like a Psalm, and read it out loud to yourself in an empty room. Hearing the truth spoken aloud can give the words a completely different weight and perspective.

Salvation is free. It's also really expensive. In this sermon, Charity calls us to join the cloud of witnesses in taking up our cross and following Jesus.

This photo captures the heart of why we prioritize gathering together every week. Church is not just about a service; it is about encouragement and being there for one another. It is in these simple moments of connection that our community is built.

Make space tomorrow to be part of what is happening here at Anchor. We are meeting at 11:00am and we invite you to join us. The address is 611 N Wright St. Champaign, IL.
