Through the North Spartan Baptist Association, we will be collecting money for a smaller church in Texas that has been devastated by Hurricane Harvey. If  you would like to help, please make your check payable to IMBC and mark it ‘Hurricane Relief’. We will collect this special offering through Sunday, October 15.

The morning service is “The Striving of the Holy Spirit” – Matthew 23:37-39; Genesis 6:3.

The evening service is “His Unspeakable Gift” – 2 Corinthians 9:15; Titus 2:11-15.

WHEN: Tuesday, October 31

WHAT: Trunk or Treat

TIME: 5:30 – 6:30 pm

WHY: Because we care about our community and the safety of our children.

We need lots of candy for this outreach event. Also, begin now thinking about your car trunk decoration. This is a great mission opportunity!

All youth are reminded of our next activity on Friday, October 6. We will attend the football game at Chapman High School and will meet afterwards at the Pizza Hut in Inman. The cost for pizza will be $3.00 each for unlimited food and drink. We will load the bus from there to go camping at the Irwin barn. Please see Sally if you have questions.

Each year, the churches in our North Spartan Baptist Association gather needed items for the Connie Maxwell Children’s Home. This year, our church has been asked to collect ketchup. We will collect this item until the annual associational meeting, which will be on Thursday, October 26 at Cooley Springs Baptist.

This is a group made up of more than 60, active and retired, ministers of music from all over the state of South Carolina. They will be singing at Poplar Springs Baptist Church in Moore on Tuesday, October 17, at 7:00 pm. This is the closest location they will be to our church during the 2017-2018 season. Our own Travis Smith and Jimmy Lockhart are a part of this group. Save the date and plan to attend!
