Current Service Opportunities at IPC
Discover service and giving opportunities through IPC that make a difference at our church and in our community. All volunteers with Children or Youth must follow the requirements of the Child & Youth Protection Policy.
Join us for IPC's Annual Harvest for Hunger campaign to help fill our neighbor's table and lift up our community. Starting Sunday, October 20, you can pick up a Harvest for Hunger grocery bag at IPC. The list of food and hygiene items (our most needed items) is printed on the bag and will also be available on the website. Please return your filled bags by Sunday, November 24, which is Harvest for Hunger Dedication Day.
These cookbooks were crafted from recipes submitted by the IPC congregation! We hope you enjoy good food with good people gathered around the table. For your convenience, cookbooks can be picked up or purchased at the reception desk during the week, in addition to online and Sunday sales in the parlor.
Each cookbook is $25, and the proceeds help support scholarships for IPC Youth trips and retreats.
STAIR 3.0 is an incredible program that continues to yield amazing results! This bi-weekly program offers one-on-one tutoring sessions to 3rd-graders at Hayes K-8 to help improve their literacy skills. In the fall, we will seek volunteers for Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3:15 pm to 4:15 pm. You can sign up for either day or both days.
If you're looking to make a difference in a child's life, consider signing up for STAIR 3.0. Students genuinely look forward to these encounters, and word is spreading—more children are clamoring to know more about this empowering experience! For further information, please contact Becky Wright, Children’s Fresh Air Farm Director.
Help spread Christmas cheer for Children's Fresh Air Farm Summer Learning students by selecting an Angel Tree student or family! Students are grouped with siblings in the same household who also attend Hayes, so you are able to select an individual child or all children in a household. All Gifts Due: Monday, December 9. Please bring unwrapped gifts and a roll of wrapping paper to IPC, room #217 labeled with the child's name and code (e.g., Child 1a: NAME)
