Connect

Join us to mingle and connect with Birmingham's Ukrainian community. The free event to be held on IPC's campus in Highland Hall features tastings of traditional Ukrainian food, local Ukrainian musicians, Alabama Symphony Orchestra members, live video feeds from friends in Ukraine, and booths by Sister Cities, Inspiritus, Alabama Interfaith Refugee Partnership, and U.S.-Ukraine Foundation.

Provide and serve dinner for the women and children staying at First Light. IPC will be providing the evening meals each night for the week of Aug. 21-27. Please consider this great activity for a family or group. Click below to find available evenings and sign up.

Please join us for the Presbytery of Sheppards and Lapsley's virtual book review on Gather at the Table by Thomas DeWolf and Sharon Morgan. The book chronicles the journey of DeWolf & Morgan over a three-year period where the pair travels thousands of miles, both oversea and through 27 states, visiting ancestral towns, courthouses, cemeteries, plantations, antebellum mansions, and historic sites. They spent time with one another’s families and friends and engaged in deep conversation about how the lingering trauma of slavery shaped their lives. The deadline to register is Tuesday, July 12, 2022.

Drop off your kids (grades k5-6th grade) for a Kid's Fun Night on the first Wednesday night of the month : (Sept. 7, Oct. 5 & Nov. 2) while you and your partner enjoy a couple of hours together. Cultivated date night kits are provided or use the time to recharge in any way you need. Childcare for babies - 4s provided by the IPC Childcare staff.

Celebrate fall with your IPC Connect friends at Carrigan's Beer Garden in Lakeview. There is no admission charge and all food and drinks are self-pay. The registration is for headcount only to help us plan. Bring the entire family for some great fun, food, and fellowship. All ages are welcome!

Beer and Hymns is exactly what it sounds like—we sing old-timey hymns (plus a few new ones) while enjoying good food and beverages. Bring yourself, a few friends, and the best singing voice you have to join members of IPC and the community.

Save the date for an IPC Foundation Lunch & Learn with Raleigh's Place on Sept. 20, 2022
