Christmas Services

Invite your family, friends, and neighbors! This Sunday, the ISBC Choir will present “His Very Own Star” a Christmas cantata, in the morning service. At about noon, we’ll meet together in the Fellowship Hall for our Annual Christmas Dinner.

Sunday evening, we’ll gather for our annual Christmas Carol Sing. There are still lots of spaces to sign up.

Wednesday, we’ll celebrate the Lord’s Supper together at 7 pm and light the final Advent Candle.

As you go through this Christmas Season, don’t forget to tell others about the Reason we celebrate Christmas!
