A GREAT FALL FESTIVAL

Thanks to the tremendous number of volunteers who made this year’s Fall Festival such a success. We really have no way of accurately knowing the number of people that attended. We only know it looked bigger than ever before. To those of you who brought candy, gave money, set up and took down, volunteered at the booths, cooked, registered, played, provided safety, etc…a great big thank you. Certainly families had a wonderful and safe alternative to Halloween. Some of our team has already started thinking about next year and how we can make it bigger and better. Now join us as we pray for the follow up efforts. Thank you again for your willingness to work and to serve in an event aimed at the community. We believe that some of those who attended will have occasion to visit JIBC or will come in contact with some of our family. Let’s pray for His will to be done here on earth as it is in heaven.


THANKSGIVING SUNDAY

We are only three weeks away from our annual Thanksgiving Sunday Celebration. On this Sunday, we will not have an 8:30 worship. We will all join together for an 11:00 Worship service followed by a church wide Thanksgiving Meal. On this Sunday we will celebrate Lord’s Supper and recognize all who have joined JIBC or one of our connection groups this past year. For them, we are particularly thankful. It is a good time of the year to start thinking about a special offering to International Missions. Southern Baptist usually have a Lottie Moon International Missions Christmas offering. Generally speaking, we give the International Missions Offering to the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. Talk with your family concerning your gift this year. It is a worthwhile way to see your Christmas gift used to help change lives as the Gospel is preached around the world.

See you this Sunday, good Lord willing!
