Fall at IPC

Join us in celebrating our acolytes for their service in leadership and worship! During the 11 am sanctuary service, we will recognize all acolytes.

POSTPONED: A new date to be announced for Spring 2026.
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.

For over 15 years, IPC has organized Dinners for Eight where couples, singles, members, and friends of all ages are invited to dine together. Starting back in 2009, this intergenerational dinner ministry began with one IPC Sunday School class that simply wanted to get to know others better! Dinners for Eight is scheduled once in the Fall, and then again in the Spring. Groups can dine in the host's home (sharing the food responsibilities) or together at a restaurant if no one wants to cook! Join us for this longstanding IPC tradition by registering below.

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.

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.

Each week, IPC volunteer tutors meet one-on-one with 3rd-graders at Hayes K-8 to help them build confidence and improve their literacy skills. The fall term runs from September 23 to December 17, and volunteers are needed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 3:15 - 4:15 p.m. A scripted, easy-to-follow curriculum is provided, and a background in education is not needed to volunteer. Please reach out to Marion Dukes, Director of the Children's Fresh Air Farm, if you are interested in learning more or signing up.

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.

We need volunteers to assist in transporting our #5 Plastics to Community on the Rise! Our box has been overwhelmed with plastics lately, and we need your help to keep this opportunity going! SUVs and trucks are recommended for transportation of the super sack due to its size. The #5s drop-off times at Community on the Rise are Mondays from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm. Community on the Rise is located at 112 14th St. N, next to Church of the Reconciler.

Donations can be dropped off or sent via a delivery service Monday - Friday, 8:30 am - 4:30 pm to IPC Community Ministries' entrance on 31st Street South. Our current items needed include food and hygiene items.
