Centennial Voices:
Welcome to Bill & Jane Carl!
|
It is with great joy in our hearts that we are thankful for the leaders who have served IPC over the past 100 years, building the foundation for our many humble ministries throughout Birmingham and the world. It is nothing but providential that Bill and Jane Carl have been sent to us to by God to lead our congregation as we start our next century of service. Be in prayer and listen to God's voice as to how you might participate in one or more of the many opportunities at IPC!
Jimmy Holloway, Chair, Pastor Nominating Committee

We know God is EVERYWHERE, so why not let us know
where in the world you've experienced God and God's creation by taking a
vacation
(or mission trip) photo of you and your family and the IPC Centennial Logo? (

We've had a great response!
So far, the IPC logo has appeared in Spain, France, London, Virginia, Florida, Utah, the Birmingham Airport, Maine, Washington, D.C., the Bahamas, Portugal, Africa, College World Series in Omaha, Living River, and with the IPC Youth Mission Team in Myrtle Beach!
View all the photos here.
Click on photos to enlarge. Also click here to read photo comments from the IPC folks in the photos like the one here from the IPC Youth Mission Team in Myrtle Beach, SC. Please keep them in your prayers as they work on houses. This photo came with the quote, "This awesome group of youth is officially in Myrtle Beach, SC, for a week long mission trip. It is hot, humid, beautiful, and insanely fun already!"
We'd like to see how far IPC reaches around the USA and around the globe. We'll post your photos and share in your joy here in our weekly EUpdate. Traveling mercies to you and yours. We can't wait to see where you (and the IPC Centennial Logo) have been this summer!
