Thank You
Dearest I.P.C., Dear I.P.C.,
On behalf of my mom, sister and me, we want to express our
deep gratitude and appreciation for inviting us to be a part of
Terry’s 30th anniversary celebration. It was a joy for Amy and me to see Turner and Stephen
recognized on December 10 for memorization. We are grateful
to God for the outstanding encouragement we parents have at
I.P.C. to raise our children in the nurture and admonition of the
Lord. We have been blessed in so many ways by so many of
our brothers and sisters in Christ who help in this pursuit. Our
pastors lead us and provide training materials from the time our
children are baptized. Our officers seek to know the children
whom they pray with and for often. Our nursery and Sunday
School teachers provide consistent love, care and instruction.
And so many others simply come alongside us to cheer us on
along the way! All of this is to God’s glory and we are grateful
to you all for playing such an important role in the life of our
family.
We continue to reflect on the weekend with such fond memories.
I.P.C. has been a loving community of believers who embraced
Terry and his family.
I thought his sermon put it so beautifully when he said that he
left his biological family and the dear folks at I.P.C. became
his family.
So thank you for lovingly and generously supporting Terry and
his sweet family. Thank you for making it possible for the three
of us to be a part of the festivities. We deeply appreciate all of
the time and effort you gave to make the weekend so special.
This was a trip that we will always treasure in our hearts, and
we look at the I.P.C. family with love and gratitude.
Thankful for His blessings,
Peggy, Gail, and Ellie

Dear I.P.C.,
I would like to express appreciation to a group of teenagers
who came by my house before Christmas and brought
me a Christmas gift basket. The young man in the group
prayed for my impaired vision. Thank you so much for your
thoughtfulness.
(Terry’s sisters and mother)
Dear I.P.C.,
I had day surgery (hernia repair) on December 21, 2017. Thank
you I.P.C. for prayers, calls, and delicious food, which is much
appreciated as I am healing. I am praying for others on the
prayer list.
Be kind. Do good deeds and pray for yourself and others.
J. Mitchell Waters
Sincerely In Christ,
John Rigby
