Join a Grace Group as we explore the "The Walk" by Adam Hamilton. Grace Groups offer IPC members and friends a way to connect while studying scriptures in a small group setting.

Throughout Lent, we will display prayer requests in the church stairwell, which we are temporarily calling the "Prayerwell". This is a way for us to visually represent those who have touched our lives or who may need our prayers. To have someone's name displayed in the Prayerwell, please submit their first name only in the basket located at the front desk.

Join us on Wednesdays during Lent for a noonday worship service in the Chapel. After the service, you can enjoy a light lunch for $5 in the Great Hall. Please note that you only need to make a reservation if you plan to stay for lunch. The menu for the lunch will be soup and sandwiches, provided by Kim's Kitchen. Please make sure to reserve your spot for lunch by Tuesday at noon each week.

Honor the memory of your loved ones by donating to the Easter Lily Memorial fund in their name(s). Your contribution provides fresh flowers to be displayed in the Sanctuary and Highland Hall for Easter services, and the names of your loved ones will be printed in the Easter worship bulletin. Depending on IPC's ability to source the lilies, you may pick up your order AFTER the 11 am Easter service in the Sanctuary, or you can make a direct donation without the pick-up of any flowers.
To ensure the names of loved ones are included in the bulletin, please ensure your contribution is received by April 6.
