COMING UP JUST AROUND THE CORNER

PARENT/CHILD DEDICATION

Sunday, June 23 will be our Parent Child Dedication service. If you would like to participate in this one, please call Neale at the church office (843-762-0244) or email neale@jamesislandbaptist.com. You will need to send in 5 pictures by June12th. Make sure you invite family and friends to celebrate with us. What an honor to thank God and praise Him for new life!

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL JUNE 24-28

The Parent Child Dedication will help us launch this year’s Vacation Bible School. VBS is a wonderful Bible tradition for JIBC. Only eternity will tell the number of children that were led to the Lord during VBS. All across the Southern Baptist Convention there will be: 2.5 million children involved in VBS. In one year there were 75,000 professions of faith; and over 155,000 prospects discovered. And why not, we put almost 7 months of Bible Study into one week; 15 hours of intensive discipleship with the Gospel presented every day! Did we mention free suppers? Yes indeed, our VBS leaders want to go all out to make it as easy as possible to get the children here. All we ask is that you sign up online ahead of time for the free meals. Another little nugget…no pun intended: nationwide VBS gave $5.5 million to mission causes! No wonder we love VBS. By the way, this year’s VBS offering will go to help buy “under-roos”(underwear) for orphans and to help buy school supplies.

BEACH BAPTISM 2024

We will plan to have another Beach Baptism on Wednesday, August 7 at the Folly Beach County Park. You will find us under the pop ups, sitting in our beach chairs. Last year’s beach baptism was a phenomenal highlight of the year. Please let us know if you are interested in joining us for this year’s beach baptism. Everyone is welcome to attend! Family, friends, baptisms, beach…can’t wait!

See you Sunday, good Lord willing
