Grow in faith and fellowship this fall by joining a Grace Group at IPC. October 12 through November 16, small groups will meet for six weeks to study "Matthew: The Gospel of Promised Blessings" by Matthew L. Skinner. Each Grace Group is led by members of IPC and meets at various times and locations, so you can find a group that’s a good fit for you. All groups follow the same study and offer a welcoming space to explore scripture in community, reminding us that faith is something we’re meant to grow in together. Registration opens Sunday, September 21. Reserve a spot online or sign up in the Parlor. Registration form coming soon!
