CIA (Children in Action) needs new director (9-1-10) Donna Swofford has stepped down after many years of dedicated service to the children of ISFBC. We are in need of someone to step forward and take her place as director. This is a wonderful ministry for our children and many blessings come from it. Please see Melissa Logan for further information or if you would like to help in this area.

Chimes 3-11-2010 Our church received a $850 donation this week from one of our neighbors who enjoys hearing the carillon bells playing each day. “...I want to express my appreciation for the lovely music that I frequently enjoy from my backyard. I love the beautiful church songs and they always make me stop and think of God’s love. I often sing along since you play some of my favorites. Please accept my small donation as a thank-you for sharing this special music with our neighborhood.”
And a few weeks ago…... On Wednesday morning there was a voice mail in the church office from a lady named Sheila. She was driving down Hwy 119 around 5 pm on Tuesday and heard the chimes playing. She just wanted to say thank-you to the church for the chimes as it was wonderful to hear the music after a long and stressful day. It’s such a small thing, but this is not the first time that the office has received comments regarding how the chimes have blessed someone in our community. |
