From the Pastor

Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a gift of the Lord,

The fruit of the womb is a reward.

You were very gracious this past Sunday as I gave you an

unexpected challenge to give up your pocket change for

the Life Walk benefiting our Pregnancy Help Center.

You gave over $750 without any notice. Penny will take

your gift with her to the walk. Thank you for giving.

Other exciting news came when Sue Kearney and Bette Wright joined our

fellowship. They are jumping right into some of our ministry opportunities

and I know you will get acquainted with them soon!

Our FAITH Evangelism ministry has already attempted more than 70

homes and we saw 4 people make professions of faith this past week.

Please remember to pray for our teams each Tuesday night as they attempt

to visit guests of our church and others who are new to our community.

We will be baptizing this Sunday morning. I invite you to come and take

part if you have been considering baptism for a while. Think of it as the

first steps of obedience and walking faithfully with your Lord. It truly is

exciting times at IBC!

Honored to be your pastor,

Bro. Tommy

Thank you From…
