Church & Community News & Events
Immanuel United Methodist Church has a lot going on. And, we are active in the community. Check back here to see the latest activities.
On October 17th, the Greater Syracuse Hunger Walk took place at Onondaga Lake. It was a cold, windy and rainy day but Immanuel's team of Jane M., Amy S., Peg Webster, Shelley DS, Pastor Jack, Erin, Chris & Joey P. and Penny the dog did our best.
Unfortunately the inclement weather persisted so we weren't able to walk the entire 3 miles because we were cold, wet and our sneakers were very soggy but we made a great effort! At the end of the walk we were treated to a snack and bottles of water by Liverpool First United Methodist Church, which was very kind of them. I'm happy to say that Immanuel exceeded it's goal of $1,500.00 because of the fund raising efforts of the team members and also Barb and Gary M. Thanks to everyone who contributed, your donation of $2,234.00 will help fund nine local agencies that feed and minister to the people in our community. Thank you everyone! We are so excited to have collected 19 garbage bags and 3 shopping bags full of coats, hats, scarves and socks to be distributed by Beautiful Mess Ministries and The Connected Church on Saturday October 3 to people in need in the city of Syracuse. We pray the recipients will be warm and feel the love of God in these gifts.
Thank You!! On a sunny Saturday morning (9/11/21), several members of our church family gathered to do some work here at church. We were able to cut down some trees and branches, weeded our patio and flower beds, cleaned and organized the garage, painted a bathroom, filled in and seeded some lawn low spots. The morning ended with pizza for lunch. Many thanks to all who came to lend a hand!
Our collection of school supplies for Brown Memorial UMC overflowed my trunk! Many thanks to all who participated in helping students on the Westside of Syracuse.
![]() We had a meal together, followed by a Bible story, crafts, music and games. Fun was had by all! Catch our Kidz Club program during our 10am worship service beginning September 12. (Click on images below to view full-size.) Week 2: Who doesn't love a campfire and s'mores? Week 3: Our Bible lesson was the Good Samaritan. We made blankets for The Linus Project which gives warm blankets to local kids in need. Week 4:
It was hot so we had fun cooling off! Our Bible lesson was Jesus healing the 10 lepers and we talked about being thankful to God for all of the great gifts God has given us. Our Kidz Club Wednesdays kicked off last night with a lot of fun by all! Please enjoy this video of the kids singing and playing handbells.
![]() Pastor Jack and Becky's team, Becky's Blessings, had a beautiful day for their 20.6 mile ride for Ride for Roswell on Saturday, July 31. The team raised over $9,300!! Many thanks to all who participated! Pastor Jack and Becky will be travelling to Buffalo this Saturday to walk in the Heroes parade representing ovarian cancer before the Ride for Roswell there. ![]() We are collecting "gently used" shoes and sneakers that will be delivered to "Ralph the Shoe Guy" who owns Discount Shoe Repair in downtown Syracuse. Ralph refurbishes the shoes which may involve some polish or replacing the laces or soles. Then he gives the shoes to the Rescue Mission. Ralph started this ministry 6 years ago and it has grown from 60 pairs the first year to 15,465 pairs last year! Ralph donates his time and supplies however he will accept cash to help defray the cost of the supplies. Last year Immanuel donated 75 pairs and so far this year we donated 47 pairs. So let's help Ralph and the Rescue Mission with this ministry! The donation box is in the Narthex. Any questions ask Shelley Dawson Smith. |
