Weekly Edition July 18, 2019
Greetings form sunny Camillus, NY! I just wanted to make sure that all of our friends in far away places on vacation know that summer has arrived here in central NY and the Camillus weather is beautiful! Here is what we have planned for this Sunday...
It's the 6th Sunday after Pentecost and our Lectionary reading brings us to Luke 10:38-42. Now... just in case you haven't yet memorized all of scripture....I'll share with you that this is the story of those two wild and crazy sisters, Mary and Martha. My message, "Wisdom Knows the Difference" will have us looking at how some parts of life are temporary while others are eternal. And how is it that we get the wisdom to tell the difference? Come and think this through with me on Sunday morning!
Our 8:30am service will be on the patio once again... so bring your lawn chairs! Last Sunday we sang "As the Deer pants for the water..." as a momma and baby deer walked through the woods before our eyes! What a beautiful setting for worship! Check it out this week! We celebrate the Sacrament of Holy Communion each week at this service, as well!
At 10:00am we'll be in the air-conditioned Sanctuary so if sunny and warm isn't your thing... we have a comfortable and cool place for you too! And at the 10:00am service you'll hear a Faith Sharing time from one of our members!
Following worship our Tuesday Morning Bible Study Group will be hosting fellowship time. Look for a tasty treat, cup of coffee or lemonade and great fellowship following worship! Thanks for hosting us, friends!
Coming up on our calendars...
You'll want to note that, due to really low registrations this year, we have cancelled our Summer Fun in the Son week in August🙁. We plan to re-group and try again next summer!
If you're like me, you too might have gotten a few weeks behind in your pledge commitment as you have been traveling. Of course, we know that the expenses of the church continue each and every week so, if you could join me in committing to catching up... it sure would be appreciated by our Finance team!
We are in the middle of a search process for our next Director of Christian Education. Carol has started her new career at West Genesee High School (Students... stop in the Guidance Department and say HI!) and we hope you'll all join us in praying that God brings the perfect candidate to continue this exciting work here at Immanuel. Our deadline for applications is August 15th... spread the word to people who might be interested.
On Saturday August 10th we'll gather for Immanuel's 11th annual Mini Golf Tournament for Missions! Shelley is ready to take team registrations (go out and find a few "ringers" for your team) and to sign up folks for hole sponsorships! This is always a fun gathering and the funds raised go directly to Missions Work! Sign up on Sunday!
And speaking of Missions Work... hot off the press is the announcement that the mission trip planned for August 11-17 in West Virginia will now be a LOCAL TRIP! This should allow even more folks to commit for a one or two or three day commitment! We have identified plenty of mission projects right here in central NY and Jerry Sabattis is ready to get projects scheduled for that week! See Jerry on Sunday or contact him soon to let him know which day(s) you are available and he'll find jobs for every level of ability. (And you'll get to sleep in your own bed every night!!!) And there is nothing like the joy of serving Christ by ministering to others!
We hope to see you at either 8:30am or 10:00am on Sunday morning! Remember... our God is an awesome God! Come and worship with us! Pastor Jack and Pastor Pam
