Have you ever heard of the 3 P’s? It is an old but good business model. It refers to People, Process and Product. Get the right people on your team; have an efficient process; have a product you believe in. That is not too shabby of a game plan. Ok, my 3P’s for today are slightly different.
The three P’s for JIBC today include Prayer, Paint and Participate. Let’s start with PRAYER. This Sunday, August 16 we will conclude our sermon series on the Book of James. It will come from James 5:13-20. James has inspiring and convicting words about prayer. I hope you will be there to join us.
The second P is PAINT! On Saturday, August 22, from 10:00 am to noon, Steven and Kat Cumberledge will host a “Bibles and Brushes” fundraising event for Steven’s upcoming mission trip to Jordan. The funds raised will help purchase medical supplies. I love the idea of involving passion and mission. There is a $25 charge for this event and it is limited to 30 people. Please contact the church office at 843-762-0244 to register. “If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.” Vincent Van Gogh.
The third P is PARTICIPATE. You have two really good events in which you can be a participant. First, there is the Beach Baptism on Wednesday, August 19 at the Folly Beach/Charleston County Park. We will gather around 6:30 in front of the main buildings at the park. So far, we have 8 to be baptized. There is room for more. Participate by attending and cheering these on or participate by being baptized as a follower of Jesus Christ.
You may also want to participate in the Quarterly Ministry conference/Ministry Management Team meeting on Wednesday, August 26. A meal will be served at 6:00 and the meeting will start at 6:30. Everyone can attend. Please make a reservation by contacting the church office if you would like to eat with us!
THREE P’S…not bad right? We have the right people, the JIBC family. We have the right process... go and make disciples. We have the greatest product ever—the Gospel story about our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
