We are excited to have Bob and Pat Henry with us this Sunday.  They served for years in Hong Kong and then in the home office of their missions agency.  In Sunday School we will be showing a video presentation of their life’s work. Don’t miss it!

The Lord has allowed us to put new flooring in the Fellowship Hall, which is a tremendous blessing.  Pastor Chris Koehn worked on repainting the walls while here with the IBC Team.  Thanks Pastor Chris!

The old floor

The IBC team did mountains of work removing bushes, junipers, ivy, and the roots that go with them.  Thanks to the team we have a great start on landscaping the front of the church property.  We are planning on getting a tractor in here to remove the rest of the roots.

COUNSELING SEMINAR: THE SUFFICIENCY OF CHRIST AND SCRIPTURES

Counseling services, psychological evaluations, addictive recovery programs, and medical labeling have all contributed to confusion surrounding mental health, social behavior, and biblical truth.  This seminar is designed to help individuals and families gain confidence in Christ’s sufficiency while dealing with the multifaceted aspects of behavioral problems from a Scriptural viewpoint.

We are looking forward to Tom Pryde being with us on March 29, 2009.  Tom pastored for a number of years in the Sanfransisco Bay area and is now traveling with his new ministry Sermons in Song.  He and his family will minister to us in music, and Tom–an excellent Bible teacher–will open God’s Word for us on this special day.  Don’t miss it!
