We will follow the Holiday worship schedule on Sunday, August 31 with worship at 10 am in the Sanctuary (No Sunday School or Table Worship). IPC will be closed on Monday, September 1 in observance of the holiday.

You're invited to a special Welcome Breakfast on Sunday, September 7 at 9:45 am in the Great Hall during the Sunday school hour. All are welcome to come enjoy breakfast, coffee, and fellowship as we celebrate the first Sunday back on our regular schedule. Whether you're new to IPC or looking to reconnect with your family of faith, this is a wonderful opportunity to gather and begin a new season together. There is no need to RSVP, just drop in anytime from 9:45 - 10:45 am. Sunday School classes will not meet on September 7 and officially kick off the fall semester on September 14.

A meeting of IPC is called for Sunday, September 14, to be convened with the opening prayer at the 11 am worship service in the sanctuary. The business meeting will begin immediately following the worship service. The purpose of the meeting is to elect new church officers.

The IPC Choir will sing the Service of Choral Evensong on Sunday, September 14, at 4:00 pm in the sanctuary. Directed from the organ by Dr. Jeff McLelland, the service will feature beautiful service music by contemporary British composer Joanna Forbes L’Estrange, and the monumental work Canterbury Te Deum by Grayston Ives. The service will be officiated by Rev. Nicole Newton. Come worship with us as we rest in the Heart of God.

Join us on Monday, September 15 at 7 pm at The Grocery for Beer & Hymns! Beer & Hymns is exactly what it sounds like. We sing old-timey hymns (plus a few new ones) while enjoying good food and beverages.

Volunteer with your family or a group to provide evening meals for the women and children staying at First Light. IPC will be providing evening meals September 22-25, 27, and 29-30.

All 4th, 5th & 6th grade kids are encouraged to join us on September 27 from 9am - 2pm for our annual Bible Retreat. We will learn things that we didn't know, things that sound familiar, and things that we just plain...forgot. The following day, 4th Graders will receive their Deep Blue Bibles during the 11 am worship service.

Grow in faith and fellowship this fall by joining a Grace Group at IPC. October 12 through November 16, small groups will meet for six weeks to study "Matthew: The Gospel of Promised Blessings" by Matthew L. Skinner. Each Grace Group is led by members of IPC and meets at various times and locations, so you can find a group that’s a good fit for you. All groups follow the same study and offer a welcoming space to explore scripture in community, reminding us that faith is something we’re meant to grow in together. Registration opens Sunday, September 21
Reserve a spot online or sign-up in the Parlor. Registration form coming soon!
