Missions Committee News & Events:
Are you interested in a mission trip to Guatemala or Haiti? The missions committee will be forming a group to plan a trip for the summer of 2009. Please speak to any committee member if interested.
Gale has mentioned that donations of 'gently used' shoes & sneakers and summer clothing are in great demand in Haiti and that she has plenty of room to take some with her on her next trip down. The missions committee has asked if you have any of the above items to donate to Gale and PID, that would be great. Also that we might have a "rice offering" on the 18th when Gale speaks here at IBC. Not big bags of rice but rather 2 - 2/12 lb bags of rice would be great! Let's cover the front of the sanctuary on the 18th with bags of rice for Gale to take to Haiti with her!
As a church, we support the following missions:
ABCUSA (American Baptist Churches USA) -
Ipswich Community Food Pantry - Food offerings may be donated any Sunday & there is a container in the entryway to place your items. The Ipswich Community Food Pantry is open Thursdays, 5-7 p.m. at the United Methodist Church, Meetinghouse Green. One item they are often low on is cereal; Additionally, peanut butter & jelly, canned veggies, and canned soup are always needed. However, canned beans of any type (black, kidney, etc) usually sit on the shelf and are not taken. Each year for Thanksgiving, members of IBC provide meals for families in Ipswich through the Food Pantry.
