RESOURCES FOR KIDS
Families who are worshipping at home with children, check out these resources we have available for you!
{Parents, consider printing this worksheet for your older children to fill out. Or use the worksheet to ask questions and talk through the video with your children.}
COVID-19 AND IBC MINISTRIES
Due to public health concerns and the regulations from the state of Michigan, we have suspended in-person Sunday services until further notice. We will continue to worship together online each Sunday.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
IBC 1st Quarter Reports
Due to the gathering restrictions because of COVID-19, we did not have our 1st quarter member meeting last Sunday. However, we will soon be sending you the 1st quarter reports from our Servant Administration Team once all the reports are available.
IBC YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Do you want to watch one of our previous Call to Worship videos? Or one of Pastor Mark’s Encouraging Words videos? You can easily find these via playlists on our YouTube Channel. Go here for quick links to some of these playlists.
HOCKEY FOR THE HOMELESS
As you know, the March 14 Hockey for the Homeless event was postponed due to the COVID-19 Crisis. The plan is to reschedule this event. Unfortunately, the Stay Home Stay Safe order makes it impossible to make concrete plans. As soon as the order is lifted, an announcement regarding rescheduling will be made. Until then, you are asked to hold on to your tickets. If anyone would like a refund, you will need to turn the tickets in at the Info Center at IBC (after the stay-at-home order is lifted), and the Rescue Mission will issue you a check. Please include your name and address on a piece of paper or envelope if you turn in your tickets.
PASTOR MARK’S ENCOURAGING VIDEOS
Many of you are enjoying Pastor Mark’s encouraging words that he provides via video several times each week on Facebook. If you don’t have Facebook, or you have have friends who would like to see the videos but don’t have Facebook, we now have these videos available for you to watch/share via YouTube and our website!
They are available on our website here, and they are also available via this playlist on our YouTube channel.
