“This Is Us”
We want to help you learn more about our church.
We are a large, vibrant community of faith whose vision is to become One with Christ, One
with Each Other, and One in Ministry to the Community. We live out this vision by offering
multiple opportunities for children, youth, and adults to connect with God, with one
another, and with the community, through worship, learning, and serving.
Cannon offers three Sunday worship services: 8, 9:30 and 11am. Each service has its own
unique flavor:
• 8am Worship: An intimate worship gathering featuring organ, hymns, and creeds.
• 9:30am Worship: Enjoy the praise and worship of our Worship Band as they lead our
modern 9:30am service.
• 11am Worship: A traditional style with a full Worship Choir. This service has an informal
feel while creating deeply inspiring moments of encountering the holy.
Services are for all ages. Families are welcome to experience the worship of God together
or take part in the unique Sunday morning worship and small group opportunities just for
children and youth through Nursery, Preschool Pals, O Zone, and 11:01 Student Ministries.
You are encouraged to try all three services and find the one where you feel most at home.
We look forward to welcoming you into the Cannon Church family!

When it comes to the matter of teaching kids about sex, Christian parents are
often confused about what to say and when to say it. The Talk is a series of seven
studies, all anchored in the Scriptures, that help parents talk meaningfully with
children about sexuality. Join us for three Sundays as we broach the topic of sex
with your children. September 16, 23, 30 from 12:30-3pm. Food is included all
three weeks. One parent is required to attend. There will be several opportunities
for parents and children to have guided and intentional conversation about
particular topics. Cost: $30 for books. Questions? Contact Sasha. Register online
at cannonchurch.org, Connect, Registrations.

We are excited to present the 45 for 45 Campaign. To commemorate Cannon Church’s 45th
Anniversary and Homecoming this month, a campaign is launching today to encourage
everyone to give $45 towards the Endowment Fund and $45 towards the General Fund, for
a total of $90, in celebration of Cannon’s 45 years of service to the community. A donor
information insert will be available September 16 and 23, inviting you to give in honor and
memory of loved ones to the 45 for 45 Campaign. We will publish the names only in a keepsake
document for Homecoming Sunday, September 30th. Indicate on the memo line of your
check “45 for 45” and the amounts to the funds. Please feel free to give above the
suggested amounts. These gifts are above your regular giving. Give online now at
cannonchurch.org, Give, Give Online.
This milestone is an exciting moment. The Endowment Fund invests all gifts, and produces
income for the Future, while the General Fund provides for the Present, giving us the chance
to honor Cannon’s past, present, and future in a tangible way.
