WE ARE BACK!

Janie and I have been away for a week of vacation. We went somewhere we had never been before…Branson, Missouri! I had heard about Branson for years. The opportunity came up, so off we went to the Ozarks for hiking and great musical shows. And great food! We were not disappointed. I want to thank our staff and leadership for taking care of things in our absence. We are always thankful for time away and are twice as thankful to be back home. I look forward to see you all this Sunday, October 8. My teaching will come from Mark 1:29-39.

FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS

Usually the phrase “Friday Night Lights” refers to High School Football. So, JIBC is getting our James Island Charter High Football Team ready for Friday Night Lights. We were asked by our very own Coach Hilyer if we could feed 85 football players, coaches and cheerleaders this Friday before they hit the road to play May River High School. James Island Football is undefeated so far this year. It will be our pleasure to send them out on a full stomach and a strong Gospel Word from Pastor Logan! GO TROJANS…BEAT MAY RIVER!

THREE EVENTS YOU DON’T WANT TO MISS

Our next baptism planned for Sunday, October29; the Fall Festival is Tuesday, October 31; and a Taste of James Island Baptist on Sunday, November 12. If you would like to be baptized on the 29th, please call the church office at 843-762-0244. If you would like to volunteer to help at the Fall Festival, you will find Signup sheets in the hallways by the office this Sunday. We need all hands on deck for this event. Also, would you consider bringing a bag of candy for the party? And last, but not least, the Taste of James Island Baptist. Once your group has decided to participate and decided what to cook, would you let us know? Just let us know what deliciousness your team is going to bring!

What a great month. I am so happy to be back with you all this Sunday, good Lord willing.

Pastor Tom
