Kirstine Flanagan, Mark and Barbra Rustine, Charlie Martin, and Linden Helmly have been leading our covenant children these past few months. Please take a moment and thank them for their labors. —Amy Martin I.P.C. Veterans Day Celebration 2018 Save the date: the 2018 I.P.C. Veterans Day celebration will be held on November 17, at our Point Pleasant facility. We will have the usual great lunch provided by the church and prepared by Tim Barrett. Major General Lee Quintas, the commanding general for the Third Infantry Division and Fort Stewart, has committed to be our guest speaker. On June 9, a group of 15 Chapel Choir members and chaperones attended Summer Waves on Jekyll Island. We had a great day, and I think everyone had a wonderful time. Chapel Choir (2 nd -5 th grade) will begin Sunday, September 9 at 7:00 p.m. In addition to honoring the service of the veterans in our church, we want this event to be an outreach to all of the active duty service members in our community, retired military, and veterans. If you know current serving military members or past serving veterans please invite them to the celebration to expose them to the fellowship and light of I.P.C. More details will follow as we get closer to November 17. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at [email protected]. —Dexter Brewer Youth Choir (Middle/High School–6 grade-12 grade) BOYS’ ONLY rehearsal on Sunday, September 9, at 4:0 p.m. th th Youth Choir rehearsal for everyone will begin on Sunday, September 16, at 4:00 p.m. Sixth grade students are invited to join the Middle/High School Choir.
