Page 2 From the Pastor Back-to-Church Sunday is this weekend. Would you spend some time thinking about who you miss seeing in church? Then, would you call them this week and invite them to come back to church with you? Back-to-Church Sunday is all about people coming back home! Our revival is just around the corner! October 5-8 th we will host Mike Satterfield as our guest speaker. The theme for our week will be OVERFLOW and how to live in it. Mike was the speaker at our youth camp this year and the kids could not wait to hear what the Lord was going to say through him each night. To be honest, I can t wait to see what the Lord will do through Mike each night here! I hope you are making a list of who you will invite to come along with you each evening. There are many exciting things happening around IBC right now! Our discipleship time is growing and I hope you are a part of it. Many are taking advantage of the classes and our teachers are doing a great job. Our FAITH Evangelism training had a great first session with some very positive visits. The dotmom Conference is this weekend with many of our ladies energized about the prospect of some great instruction and resources. We are being blessed with many visiting families in our services. We are seeing people unite with our fellowship, such as Bill Fee this past Sunday. We are experiencing many blessings! Please continue to pray for our Revival and other ministries. We are in need of some help with our Sunday School team in our Children and Preschool Departments. The blessings of growth also create new opportunities for leadership. As I said, exciting times! Blessed to be your pastor, Bro.
