Ship Theme”. Yours truly will be the acting Captain! You don’t want to miss this. Pictures with the Captain will be available…lol.
There is an old saying that I use quite often: You celebrate what you value and you value what you celebrate. This is particularly true when it comes to missions, evangelism, being outward focused. I love the fact that I have no idea of all the outreach efforts of our JIBC family. I think they are ongoing. I occasionally hear about one I did not know was happening and think to myself…”that is the coolest thing ever!” You don’t want to miss this opportunity to see, hear, meet and consider joining one of these outreach opportunities.
One thing JIBC does great is to support missions. We are the jelly church and we keep James Island Outreach jam up and jelly tight…so to speak! We gave generous offerings for the Lottie Moon International Missions Offering. And on and on we could go thanking God for the generosity of the JIBC family and friends. Now we want to raise the level. We are encouraging outreach efforts that put us face to face, hand to hand and heart to heart with our community. We want to move a step beyond “supporting” to actively engaging with the Gospel. We already have individuals and groups doing this so you have good role models and equippers. You don’t want to miss this!
Now, the ONE SERVICE FOR SUNDAY, APRIL 18 WILL BE AT 10:00 AM. There will not be a service at 9 and there will not be one at 11, there will only be one service, combing both the 9 and 11 services and it will be at 10:00. YOU REALLY DON’T WANT TO MISS THIS SERVICE OR THE MISSION FAIR AFTERWARDS. There will be a fish fry, we have David Martin, Jr. who will be hosting a gourmet coffee stand, we have 10 or so Mission Tents to visit, we have “passports” for everyone, there will be giveaways. You really don’t want to miss this. Like our old friend Sean Rheaume use to say “IN JESUS’ NAME IT WILL NOT RAIN!”
By the way, one more thing that will happen on that day…we will be introducing our new staff team, including our new Part Time Student Intern. You really, really do not want to miss this Sunday!
Be blessed and share the blessing!
Pastor Tom
