Join us next Sunday!
Spend Less. Give More.
“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” – Luke 6:38
ALTERNATIVE CHRISTMAS BAZAAR Give meaningful “alternative gifts” to loved ones, friends, teachers, and business colleagues this holiday season. Your one gift will turn into two gifts as you give to loved ones, as well as to those in need. This is a great way for children to buy affordable gifts for their teachers, coaches, friends and family. Acknowledgment cards are available to give to the gift recipient letting them know what has been given on their behalf. We hope to see you there! IPC Missions Team

Glad Tidings India CHILDREN’S BIBLE SCHOOL Glad Tidings India partners with indigenous ministries in India to host Children’s Bible Schools, teach literacy courses along with the Word of God, train and equip church planters and reach Unreached People Groups throughout India. Contributing to Glad Tidings India can make an eternal difference to people — by helping them move from oppression and depression to a hope for a brighter future, by increasing education and literacy, which decreases child labor and marriages and increases economic well-being, and by sharing Jesus’ love which many have never heard before. A $10/share will send 10 children to Children’s Bible School (CBS), which lasts for ten days and is similar to the VBS program here in the US. The partners in India have the infrastructure, through local churches, to host 1 million children at CBS, but not enough funds to provide for the food and supplies for each child.

Royal Family Kids SUMMER CAMP FOR FOSTER CHILDREN Royal Family Kids make a difference in the lives of children in the Orange County foster care system by providing positive memories,

They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Each summer, volunteers provide a week-long camp experience for 100 children from the local foster care system, modeling and teaching the love of Jesus Christ.
