| From Pastor Jim | |
Dear Friends,
Here WE GROW AGAIN! Please join me in welcoming our newest member, Danny Gilmore. Danny indicated that he joined because he enjoys the friendliness of our FIPC family.
Our first Run For God Bible study class concluded this past weekend. Instructor Rebecca Like, her husband Jason, and Dawn Vanderpool all participated in the "Race To The Taste 5K" in St. Augustine. We're happy to report that all three survived the race.
K-Kamp - Today is the last day to register for the best week of your Kids summer! June 24 -28, 2012 for kids completing 1st - 5th grades. K-Kamp is a week focused on growing kids' relationships with Christ. Together we will experience Christian community while participating in activities including worship, Bible study, swimming, tubing, arts and crafts, archery, hiking, and all camp recreation. Click here for more information.
Please keep Sara Dryden in your prayers as she recovers from knee replacement surgery. Sara is home and doing well.
God is GOOD! ALL the time!
Your pastor and friend...

This Weeks Funnies
| |
A reporter, interviewing Jack Nicklaus: "Jack, you are spectacular! You really know your way around the course. What is your secret?"
Jack: "The holes are numbered."
Jealous Eve - After Adam stayed out late a few nights, Eve became suspicious. "You're running around with another woman...admit it!" she demanded.
"What other woman?" Adam shot back. "You're it!"
That night, Adam was fast asleep when he was awakened by Eve poking him in the chest. "What are you doing?"
"Counting your ribs."
Shampoo Alert! - As I was conditioning my hair in the shower this morning, I took time to read my shampoo bottle. SHOCK---The shampoo that runs down my entire body says "for extra volume & body." Seriously, why have I not noticed this before?
Now I understand why I am so "full-figured."
Tomorrow I am going to start using "Dawn" dish soap. It says "dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove."
Matt's dad picked him up from school to take him to a dental appointment. Knowing the parts for the school play were supposed to be posted today, he asked his son if he got a part. Matt enthusiastically announced that he'd gotten a part.
"I play a man who's been married for twenty years."
"Congratulations! That's great, son. Keep up the good work and before you know it they'll be giving you a speaking part."
I live across the street from a church.
When my wife's puppy escaped from the backyard, we went looking for it.
She went off in the car, and I started to walk around the church, calling the dog's name.
I didn't think anything of it, until I noticed some strange looks from people walking in the area. The dog's name is Moses.
