Wouldn’t you agree that we have been blessed? Think about this: two weeks ago, we had a parent child dedication for Todd and Libby Tosti, and their daughter Sophia. They dedicated their family and their new twins, Sara Catherine and Sabrina Joy, to the Lord. We are planning for baptism again this Sunday during the 11:00 worship service. A generous donation gave the church a much needed and greatly improved projector for the sanctuary. Now on the brightest of days, we can still see the screen clearly. Again, a generous donation came for the flooring in the fellowship hall, and volunteers have put in new ceiling tiles. Most of the new connection groups started during the 40 Days in the Word spiritual growth campaign are continuing to meet. We are blessed, really blessed.
Our Youth and Children’s Ministries are planning for a big summer full of great events. It is a wonderful time to be a part of the youth ministry at JIBC. They are planning two camps, both focused around joining God to reach the city. Pray for them as they get geared up. We are already making plans for this years Vacation Bible School and Children’s Camp at Bonnie Doone. Making memories…of course. Making disciples, our goal.
It may not be too late. By the time you read this, you might just have time to call and see if there are tickets left to this years Spring Banquet, All That Jazz. It is always a wonderful event. It is a great example of serving the Body of Christ, enjoying good clean fun, and fellowship. The crew that puts this together is fantastic. We give them our thanks in advance for the great time we will all have. Call, it might not be too late, and you will enjoy the evening.
See you this Sunday, good Lord willing.
Pastor Tom
