Our Spring Cleaning For Good event benefits two organizations impacting the greater Birmingham community. Please join our efforts as we collect bicycles in any condition, men’s gently worn/new tennis shoes or work boots, gently worn/new adult t-shirts, new socks (men’s sizes), and new washcloths.
Our bicycles will go to Trips for Kids, an organization that refurbishes used bicycles for students in the Birmingham area and teaches bike safety. Our other goods will go to Faith Chapel Care Center, a partner that provides shower and laundry services to our homeless neighbors.

Congregational Care is hosting a new support group for members and friends of IPC who may be serving as a caregiver for a loved one with a chronic, life-altering condition.

We will meet on Wednesdays beginning on April 3 at 10:30 am in Room 304 at IPC. This group will offer support with an opportunity to connect with others in similar situations and provide some new tools to help you care for yourself even as you care for your loved one. Dr. Stewart Jackson, Counseling Associate at IPC, will facilitate the group. The Rev. Susan Clayton will also be part of the group to offer pastoral support.
