65th Church Anniversary


65th Church Anniversary
This Sunday, July 15 is the celebration of our JIBC anniversary.  Usually, it is on the second Sunday of July.  Following so closely after VBS, we decided to back it up one week to give everyone a breather.

WHAT ABOUT THE WEATHER?
As it turns out, it looks like the weather might be a little bit better this Sunday.  The weather channel has a 40% chance of rain for Sunday.  Which, by the way, sounds like a 60% chance of no rain.  Either way, we will have the anniversary. Sunshine, we will be outside.  If it rains, the party moves inside.

CORN HOLE????
 I have received several questions about the game commonly known as “corn hole.”  Most of you know what it is, you just did not know the name.  It is a very popular game played with opposing players trying to toss a small bag into the hole on the game board.  If you have never seen it or heard of it, trust me, it is very popular and is played almost everywhere…the beach, homes, even restaurants have games set up.  Don’t be afraid to try it.  It is a game where skill helps, but luck is king!

FOOD?
You know it.  Our great kitchen team has volunteered to cook out for everyone.  They ask that you consider bringing a dessert.  Your Pastor asks that you remember mac-n-cheese can be counted as a dessert!  Bring some cold watermelon, peaches, something grown from your garden, or bought from Walter at Bi-Lo.  It will be delicious and fun.

WORSHIP
Remember we will combine our worship services and just have one service at 11:00.  We will celebrate Lord’s Supper and Baptism (if our candidates are ready).  We will have some of our historical pictures out for you to enjoy.  The Sunday Connection Classes/Bible Study will carry on as usual, no change there.  All in all, it is shaping up to be a great celebration. 

See you Sunday, good Lord willing.
