Summer Book Study "Jesus and the Powers"
This summer, Pastor Dave will be leading a study on the book Jesus and the Powers. It’s written by N.T. Wright and Michael Bird, two distinguished New Testament scholars from England and Australia, respectively. It’s an accessible and non-partisan orientation to faith and politics for Christians. It provides a helpful overview to what the New Testament says about politics, the church’s fraught relationship to politics and power, and why Christians should care about democracy today. (You can read more about it here.)
We’ll meet Thursday nights at the church beginning at 6.30 pm. Class will meet on 7/9, 7/16, 7/23, 8/6, 8/13, and 8/20; students are asked to commit to at least four out of six sessions.
Questions? Contact Pastor Dave.

Spiritual Retreats
The focus of the Great Banquet is to know Jesus as Lord and Savior and to make Him known. The Great Banquet is an opportunity to be still, to listen, to share and to hear Christ's plan for this world and for our lives. The Banquet promises to nourish you physically, mentally and spiritually. You will feast on deliciously prepared meals; hear talks about the spiritual journey others are on, and fellowship with other believers.
It is a 72-hour experience, beginning on Thursday evening and ending Sunday evening. For three days, guests live and study together in worship, prayer and discussion. Guests participate in the daily celebration of Holy Communion and examine more fully the presence of Christ in His body of believers. They personally experience His grace through the prayers and acts of a loving, Christian support community.

The Great Banquet ministry is a non-denominational entity sponsored by multiple churches and diverse members. It is not necessary to be a member of a sponsoring church, or of any church. The community welcomes all who desire to learn more about Christ. For more information on the upcoming banquets go to ipgb.org or send an email to ipgbcommunity@gmail.com.
