IBC Weekly Prayer Focus
Let us join together this week in prayer, making our focus as the body of Christ at IBC, the founder and perfecter of our faith, the Lord Jesus Christ. Pray that our eyes remain fixed on Him above all else, as we run with endurance the race that is set before us.
Scripture:
Hebrews 12:1-2 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.”
2026 Missions Yard Sale
Our annual yard sale to support missions will once again be held here at IBC over Memorial Day Weekend. If you have any items you would like to donate, please bring them to the church on Thursday, May 21st, between 9:00 and 3:00.

2026 Baby Bottle Boomerang
Birth Choice of Hemet “Baby Bottle Boomerang” fundraiser is in full swing! Choose a baby bottle to take home and for the next few weeks, fill it with pocket change or other monetary donations if you would like (checks need to be made out to Birth Choice of Hemet), then bring it back to church or the church office. Donations can be made online as well for your convenience; see Barbara Maring for details. All proceeds will go directly to Birth Choice Services of Hemet, a Bible-based crisis pregnancy ministry. Thank you!
Women’s Ministry Brunch
Women’s Ministry invites all women, 18 years and older, to meet us at Mountain Center Café and Grill for breakfast/lunch on Saturday, May 30th, at 10:30~12:30. This is a great time to get to know other ladies at IBC and have some food and fun; we don’t want you to miss it. The only thing you need to bring is money for the cost of your food. Hope you can join us. Sign up at the back table.

Church Office Request Form
If you are in need of something from the church office, there is now a Church Office Request Form available for you to use. On Sunday mornings, Clint, Maria, and Kelly are focused on their various responsibilities. If you need to pass on a request or information to them, please fill out the Church Office Request Form rather than speaking to them directly on Sunday mornings. They are available on the wall above the offering box in the foyer. After you have filled it out, please place it in the offering box. You are also free to contact them either in person or by phone during their regular church office hours. Thank you for your cooperation in helping to make their responsibilities more efficient.
Receipt Envelope
If you are in need of reimbursement for items that you have purchased for the church, there is now a Receipt Envelope available for you to turn your receipts in on Sunday mornings. The envelopes are above the offering box located in the foyer. Please fill out the envelope and place it in the offering box. You may also turn in your receipts to Maria at the church office during her regular office hours. Thank you.
Edwin & Evie Martinez
OC International
Prayer & Financial Support
Edwin Martinez has devoted his life to gospel proclamation across Latin America and the Muslim world. For 50 years, he has partnered with the Billy Graham Association, trained evangelists and leaders, and helped plant churches in some of the world’s most difficult places. His wife, Evie, holds a doctorate in worship studies and brings musical gifts and theological depth to their mission. Together, they’ve seen thousands come to Christ across decades and continents. The Martinez ministry demonstrates what it looks like to stake everything on the exclusivity of Christ while engaging respectfully with people of other faiths. During April, they had five evangelistic medical clinics in Guatemala. Please continue to pray for the work that Edwin and Evie do.
Lori Rasmussen has taken IBC groups down to Guatemala to serve with Edwin in the last few years and is planning another trip this Fall. Their main ministry is to teach teachers and to equip them for ministry with children in their local church. If you have an interest, please talk to Lori about the trip.
