Cookie Ministry Takes Christmas Bags to Prisoners

Posted by Rick on December 21, 2011

The ISBC Cookie Ministry takes bags of cookies to prisoners at the Wagoner County Detention Center each month. This month, the prisoners will receive a little extra for Christmas.

The ladies made homemade cookies (oatmeal, lemon, and others) and included Christmas candy and candy canes all in decorative Christmas bags.  Each bag was tied with a ribbon and included a Gospel tract.

We have been contacted by several prisoners, in the past, thanking the ladies for their gift of kindness to remember them in their imprisonment. We’ve also received several letters from the tract company notifying us of people who have been saved!

 

 

“…I was in prison, and you came to Me.” ~ Jesus

ISBC to Sponsor F.A.I.T.H Riders Chapter

Posted by Rick on March 10, 2011

ISBC voted unanimously to sponsor a F.A.I.T.H Riders Chapter at the monthly business meeting held March 9, 2011.

Jim Fallen and Gerald Hornsey will organize and head the chapter.

F.A.I.T.H Riders is a “Motorcycle ministry passionate about sharing “F.A.I.T.H. through Christian fellowship.”

F.A.I.T.H. stands for:

F is for Forgiveness.  We cannot have eternal life and heaven without God’s forgiveness.

A is for Available.  Forgiveness is available for all, but it is not automatic.

I is for Impossible.  It is impossible for God to allow sin into heaven.  It is also impossible to please God through our own    actions.

T is for Turn.  Turn means to repent from sin and self to Christ only.

H is for Heaven.  Heaven is eternal life, here and now and in the hereafter – but only through Christ.  Forsaking all, I trust            Him!

F.A.I.T.H. Riders is unique in that, through the Lord’s direction, each chapter must be a ministry based within a local Southern Baptist church.

The ISBC Chapter will relate to the Oklahoma F.A.I.T.H. Riders and participate in local, state, and national rides.

If you are interested in more information about our local chapter, please email FAITHRiders@immanuelsouthern.com.

ISBC to Host Peace in Recovery

Posted by Rick on March 4, 2011

We are please to announce that ISBC will be hosting the Wagoner Peace in Recovery group, as part of Narcotics Anonymous.  They will meet in the Fellowship Hall Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays at 7:30 pm (Sunday at 3 pm).

The struggle to overcome drug addiction is difficult, even with a support group, but nearly impossible if done alone.  Peace in Recovery will provide the support and accountability needed to conquer this hardship.

For more information about Narcotics Anonymous, see their website.

For more information about this specific group, contact Greg at 918-704-0608 or Leon at 918-346-0115.

Call the church office at 918-485-5115 for additional information.
