October 9, 2015
Greetings! ,
Last weekend turned out quite unexpectedly for all of us, and we are thankful to have survived the rains, floods, & winds. Please continue to pray for those in the path of this weekend's rains & floods. We have several members who are happy to offer cleanup help - please contact Cameron Smith by clicking here if you or someone you know needs help.
We have a very busy weekend again at JIPC. First, our mid & senior high youth are holding their annual Hunger Strike to help raise funds and awareness for the Remember Niger Coalition. Our youth are fasting for 24 hours as part of the Rally for Niger, starting at noon on Saturday. They will fast until noon on Sunday, when we will all help them with a fabulous Break-the-Fast brunch. Plan now to join us for shrimp & grits, scrambled eggs, sausage, biscuits, & fruit! Fellowship committee & staff are preparing the food - all are invited and welcome.
See below for the worship and activity details for Sunday, and plan now to join us!

Youth Hunger Strike
is this weekend!
The Hunger Strike is quickly approaching and the JIPC Youth need your help raising their goal of $5,000. This year's rally is focusing on filling Remember Niger sponsored schools with the supplies they need to provide quality education. Click on the link below to donate to our team or find a Hunger Strike participant on Sunday morning in Fellowship Hall.
$5,000 will provide hundreds of meals, desks, mosquito nets, school supplies for students & teachers, and medical kits for classrooms. All of this works together too provide a quality education for students in Niger. We also invite you to help the youth BREAK their FAST with a congregational brunch, immediately following the 11:00am worship service. You don't need to bring anything, although our youth would appreciate your contribution for Remember Niger. A brunch of Shrimp & Grits, Scrambled Eggs, Sausage, Biscuits, & Fruit will be prepared by staff & Fellowship committee members - please join us! (Note: this is in place of our traditional covered dish luncheon).
