Announcements for August 23, 2026
Get Connected This Fall!

As we head into fall, a lot is getting ready to start back up at Roots. Branches Home Groups, Kingdom Builders, and several men's and women's Bible studies will all be starting in September.
We've set up tables in the Commons today where you can learn more about what's available, ask questions, and sign up. Take a few minutes after service to stop by and see where you might want to get involved this fall.

Re|Engage

Today, we're also opening signups for ReEngage.
ReEngage is a marriage discipleship ministry for couples who want to strengthen their marriage and grow together in the Lord. It's for all marriages and not just marriages that are struggling. It's an opportunity to intentionally invest in your marriage and look at what God's Word says about it.
ReEngage begins September 13, and signups open today. Stop by the ReEngage table in the Commons after service to learn more and get signed up. The cost is $75, your spot will be reserved once payment is received.

Branches Home Groups

Home Groups are a chance to take what we're learning on Sundays and continue the conversation during the week. You'll spend time in God's Word with others and build relationships that go beyond Sunday mornings. If you've been wanting to get more connected at Roots, we'd really encourage you to consider joining a Home Group this fall.
Home Groups are launching the week of September 6. Check out the sign ups available on Sundays and join a Home Group in your area! You can also click below to be connected to a Home Group.

Ohana

And as we get ready to head into our fall schedule, we're kicking off Wednesday nights with a special Ohana on Wednesday, September 2.
This one will look a little different. Youth Group will be part of the evening, and we're inviting the whole church to come together for Ohana before our regular Wednesday night adult services begin the following week.
We'll have more details soon, but for now, mark September 2 on your calendar and plan to join us.

Great Treasure Women's Retreat

Ladies, registration for our Great Treasure Women’s Retreat opens next Sunday, August 23. The retreat is October 9 through 11 at Burnt Fork Ranch. The cost is $225 to stay for the full weekend or $125 if you aren't staying overnight. Space is limited and registration filled up quickly last year, so if you’re planning to come, be ready to register next Sunday. We’re already working on the details and looking forward to a wonderful weekend together.
One of the ways we’re able to keep those retreat costs down is through our fundraisers, and our next one is a Fall Flower and Bake Sale on Sunday, August 30. We’d love the help of our women in stocking the bake sale. If you’d like to donate something homemade, please click the link below or contact Michelle at 406-642-9994.
Seedlings Volunteers Needed!
One of the greatest investments we can make as a church is in the lives of our children.
As we prepare for the fall, we have a real need for more Seedlings volunteers - not just on Sunday mornings, but also throughout the week, including Wednesday evening. Every week, children are hearing God's Word because faithful men and women choose to serve.
If the Lord has been stirring your heart to get involved, this may be the opportunity you've been waiting for. We'd love to talk with you about serving in this way.
If you'd like to learn more, talk to Keziah. You can also click the link below or pick up a Seedlings application at the Connect board, fill it out and turn it in to Keziah or to the church office.

Parking Lot - help needed

You've probably noticed our recent parking lot improvements as well as volunteers helping direct parking before each service. We kindly ask that you follow their directions as they help create room for guests and visitors.
We're also looking for a few more people to help with parking. If you're interested, stop by Michelle's desk in the entry after service.

Join us for Pre Service Prayer

Each Sunday morning at 8am, a group gathers to pray before first service. It's a time to pray for our church, our leadership, and the morning ahead. Everyone is welcome to join in, so if you'd like to come early and spend some time in prayer with others, we'd love to have you.
Missions Prayer

Just a reminder that we gather for Missions Prayer on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month at 7pm. This is a special time for us to come together and pray for our missionaries in Kosovo and Korea, and for the safe house in Nepal. We’d love for you to join us
as we lift them up, encourage one another, and trust God for His work around the world.
