"One potential problem of our annual Christmas celebrations is that many people think of Jesus as a baby. Their conception of him is only as a helpless newborn in his mother's arms. If Jesus had never grown up to do what he did, he'd have no power to transform our lives"
Rick Warren, The Purpose of Christmas

As we enter the New Year of our Lord 2009, may we all keep in mind that Christ did, in fact, grow to be an adult and continues to live among and within us, steadfast in His promise to comfort and guide us through whatever may lie ahead for us in this world.

May all IPC vistors and members join together in appropriating the Hope and Joy found only in Christ as we move forward. All are welcome to come together as one body in His name.
