	From Mark Robison........... Greetings everyone and I hope you have had a joyous and safe holiday! The IDGB community will be gathering on Saturday, January 26th at the First Christian Church in Valparaiso, located at 1507 Glendale Blvd. This is the first time the wonderful community members from this church will be hosting a gathering and it's easy to find as it is directly across the street from Valplayso Park. The wonderful people here have also agreed to provide a light supper for our enjoyment for those people who can come between 6pm-7pm. Please bring a salty or sweet snack or soda to share during Fellowship. We will also be hosting our Annual Meeting immediately after our worship service for the purpose of electing new board members and to vote on changes to the IDGB By-Laws. We hope you take this wonderful opportunity to come out and gather with your IDGB fellow community members. Remember, anyone is welcome at a 4th Day Gathering. It doesn't matter if they have attended a banquet or not! The schedule is as follows, 6:00 p.m community supper 7:00 p.m. community worship 8:00 p.m. Annual Meeting of the IDGB Community & fellowship to follow.
