Hey IBC, I am so grateful for all of the hard work put into the 75th-anniversary celebration. The Lord was honored! We had an amazing service with fantastic attendance, and I have heard countless compliments and thank-you's. We were blessed by the videos, the worship, and the speakers. IBC has had so many faithful people and leadership, but ultimately the Lord is the one that deserves all the honor and the glory. Reminder- Services and Life Groups are back to their normal times tomorrow.
MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT: It is time to sign up for LOVE WEEK! The only way we can guarantee you the awesome Love Week t-shirt is by signing up by this Wednesday! This will be our biggest year yet, and we will reach out to more people than ever! We will gather to spread out with our teams on Wednesday, June 1st - Saturday, June 4th. We are encouraging our entire church to be involved in some way. I have had so many people tell me in the past that they would love to take part in this, but they have to work during the day. Well, this year you can! We will be bringing Love Week into the weekend, but we are also bringing back our evening Block Party team led by Clayton Bennett. They will be going out to different neighborhoods from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm and throwing a party with bounce houses, a cookout, games, and Bible study for the kids. This will be an incredible outreach to our neighbors! Or, you can sign up for one of the other great teams available during the day! SO, CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO AND TO SEE WHICH TEAM YOU WANT TO SIGN UP FOR! Even if you can only make it for part of the week, please go ahead and sign up.
PASTOR'S PRAYER REQUEST: May is a busy time for many families, especially those celebrating the graduation of seniors! Would you join me in praying for our students who will be graduating high school and college this month? Let's pray for peace and wisdom during this very hectic time in their lives.
SERMON PREVIEW:
It's Mother's Day! This Sunday, we will focus on how we can Abide in the Lord, as seen in John 15. I am excited to have a panel of mothers join me for a moment as we look at how we can apply this text to our lives.
THIS SUNDAY'S ANNOUNCEMENTS:
WE ARE STILL THE CHURCH!
