Inevitable Change
In March of 2021, I became the Communications Pastor here at IBC. My first month consisted of Zoom meetings and prepping for our first in-person Easter service since the pandemic began. Over the past 15 months, I’ve seen a lot of things change around IBC.

Annoyed or Joyed
I opened the dishwasher and was instantly confronted by my own irritation. My husband has this annoying little habit of placing the cereal bowls flat on the upper rack. After six of them are spaciously arranged, there is very little room for anything else. I started the arduous task of rearranging them so the rest of the dishes would fit.

It Takes a Village
Summer is the season for camp. Hot, sweaty, jumping for joy excitement all week long! There is nothing quite like a week away at camp where the fun is huge and God’s love is lavish. If you have ever been to camp, you get it. So when I was asked to be a co-director for Vacation Bible School this year, I had to say yes. After all, VBS is basically summer camp at church!

A True Welcome
Two names immediately come to mind when I hear the word "hospitality"—Jonathan and Bre. About a year ago I had the privilege of traveling to Kansas in order to help my friend Daniel propose to his girlfriend. The only problem is that I don't know a single person who lives in Kansas.

Rich in Mercy
My phone was ringing. It was his Mother’s Day Out program. I checked my watch to see if he had made it an hour. My heart sank, and I could hear the conversation before it even took place.
“Mrs. Cordero?”
“This is she.”
“We need you to come get your son right now.”

Just Maybe
I just returned from a three-month sabbatical and the question I get asked most is, “What did you learn?” If you’re not familiar with sabbatical, the elders of IBC graciously offer time off to pastors every seven years to rest, reflect, and recharge. It is something I greatly appreciate and do not take lightly, but the “what did you learn” question can be a little intimidating.
