Fall at IPC

All 4th, 5th & 6th grade kids are encouraged to join us on September 27 from 9am - 2pm for our annual Bible Retreat. We will learn things that we didn't know, things that sound familiar, and things that we just plain...forgot. The following day, 4th Graders will receive their Deep Blue Bibles during the 11 am worship service.

Join the Lunch Bunch crew for a great meal and fellowship at Porch restaurant. We will meet at the restaurant at 11:30 am. This is a self-pay event but please register so we will have an accurate headcount.

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!

You are warmly invited to join us this fall for an evening of food and fellowship at the home of Merrill Stewart. We’ll share a meal, enjoy one another’s stories, and learn how the IPC Now & Forever Endowment Campaign is helping our church thrive today and for generations to come. We’ll also hear more about how this campaign strengthens the future of our beloved church by providing lasting resources for worship, service, and mission in the years ahead. We hope you will join us for this meaningful evening together. To learn more and find ways to participate, visit ipcforever.org.

Please submit your RSVP by Thursday, October 9.

Each week, IPC volunteer tutors meet one-on-one with 3rd-graders at Hayes K-8 to help them build confidence and improve their literacy skills. The fall term runs from September 23 to December 17, and volunteers are needed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3:15 - 4:15 p.m. A scripted, easy-to-follow curriculum is provided, and a background in education is not needed to volunteer. Please reach out to Marion Dukes, Director of the Children's Fresh Air Farm, if you are interested in learning more or signing up.

Volunteer with your family or a group to provide evening meals for the women and children staying at First Light. IPC will be providing evening meals September 22-25, 27, and 29-30.

We need volunteers to assist in transporting our #5 Plastics to Community on the Rise! Our box has been overwhelmed with plastics lately, and we need your help to keep this opportunity going! SUVs and trucks are recommended for transportation of the super sack due to its size. The #5s drop-off times at Community on the Rise are Mondays from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. Community on the Rise is located at 112 14th St. N, next to Church of the Reconciler.
