Tip of the week: Hand your memory cards to someone else while you’re sitting at a restaurant or
the dinner table and say all your verses to them.

Verse of the Week:
Scripture
Numbers 23:19
God is not man, that he should lie, or a son of man, that he should change his mind.  Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?

iS was formerly known as IRS, before the reforms.  For years, FBC’ers have gathered in homes for Informal Rotating Suppers and have enjoyed themselves immensely despite frequent reports of dizziness from the Rotating.  In an effort to reduce the ill effects of IRS, iS was created.  As before, everyone contributes a dish, but now groups plan to meet only once (though subsequent meetings are encouraged).

IRS is typically for adults though exceptions can be made.  There are no requirements for participation, just be ready to get to know some great people and have a great time.

Sign up for iS by February 19th.
