Good Things Coming!

Aging in Place Conference

JIBC is scheduled to host an “Aging in Place Conference” on Saturday, March 29. Who could benefit from such a seminar? Let’s say you are a senior adult and want to plan the best you can to take care of your assets and live independently as long as you can…this is for you. Let’s say you have aging parents and are currently taking care of them or one day may need to provide care for them…this is for you. Unfortunately, we have living and growing older issues that come our way. I like to think that is better than the short term alternative….long term that will be glory. Short term, we need to be as prepared as we can be. We hosted a similar conference before and found it helpful. We are taking the parts that most people enjoyed and benefited from and expanding them. A little more time on each topic, as it were. This is a much needed seminar. If it meets a need in your family, I hope you will be blessed.

On Site Counselor

We are currently working with a sister church in North Charleston, Riverbluff Baptist, to have an on-site counselor here at JIBC. Riverbluff Church has a fully staffed counseling center and is meeting a significant need for solid biblical counseling. As they continue to serve people from James Island, the idea came about to place an office here at JIBC. Here is the good news and the better news. The good news is that we will have an on-site counselor as a part of our family and community ministry. The better news is that Riverbluff will be handling the insurance, the scheduling, etc. We will only handle providing the place for the counselor to hold the meetings. We are planning to have a Ministry Team Leader/Quarterly Ministry Conference meeting on Wednesday, April 2 at 6:30. We are planning to introduce the counselor to our leadership team and have a question and answer time. That is what I would call good news and better news! Thank you Jesus and thank you to our friends at Riverbluff!


Remember to spring forward this Saturday evening. See you Sunday, good Lord willing.
