Greetings!  We are inviting you to join us as we celebrate the month of love.  This event is sponsored by the Ladies Ministry (Women Missionary Unit), which remains the most supportive of all church ministries.  Last year, we raised $8,700 in order to send our Praise Team to attend a music conference in Buffalo, New York.  They came back bringing not only an enhancement in their music skills, but they also became strong leaders.  We also helped in funding Pastor Ding Guevarra’s revival mission to the Philippines.  We also helped in supporting the replacement of our worn-out church furnace, and some of our ongoing church improvement projects.

This year, we have set 2 goals:

1.  To help support our family retreat this coming July.
2. To support our renovation of the nursery, youth room, and kitchen.

There are big projects ahead of us, but with your support and God on our side, we are optimistic that we can attain our goals.

The Valentine banquet is a Hollywood-themed event, and you may don any movie character of your choice.  There will be hors d’oeuvres, a five-course meal buffet, and an ice cream bar.  For entertainment, there will be music, games, and dancing.  Finally, our event will feature an honored speaker.

We hope that you will support us in this wonderful cause.

“Being confident in this very thing he that hath begun a good work, will perform it, until the day of Jesus Christ.” -Philippians 1:6

Sincerely,
Luz Minda Jardinico

SJBCI Choir Presents

“I Will Rise”
an Easter Concert
April 8, 2012

Time: TBA
Place: SJBCI Building. 311 Oakcrest Ave. Pitman, NJ 

We joyfully invite you to our annual Easter Concert on April 8, 2012.  Join us in this exuberant celebration of Jesus’ triumphant victory over sin and death this Easter day.  We have a story to tell, a jubilant proclamation through song and music. This is a FREE event, so please feel free to invite family and friends!

About “I Will Rise”:
From the heart of renowned worship leader and Dove award-winning arranger Gary Rhodes comes this stunning collection of songs that celebrates the power of the resurrected Lord in our lives. Beginning with a rousing invocation that proclaims “Jesus Is Alive!,” we go through moments of celebration, reflection, and passionate worship. Worship standards such as Chris Tomlin’s “I Will Rise” and “How Can I Keep from Singing” blend seamlessly with innovative renditions of “Jesus Paid It All” and “Crown Him With Many Crowns” and dynamic new offerings from Hillsongs (“Stronger”) and Steve Fee (“Glory to God”).  I Will Rise promises to deliver a fresh revelation to your congregation of the overcoming power of God — on Easter morning, and every morning throughout the year.

Spearheaded by the WMU of SJBCI, this event also serves as a fundraiser for many of the projects this year, including the church nursery, youth room, kitchen, and family camp.  Last year, their efforts have given way for our praise team to join CMS2011 which has been an enormous blessing.  This year, the needs continue in different forms, so they continue to ask for support.  What a great way to be blessed from this Valentine’s evening, while also being a great blessing!
