 "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."   Romans 12:12

+++ We worship on Sunday at 8:30am and 10:00am as we celebrate the 6th Sunday of Easter! This week  Pam Kelsey-Gossard will be leading our worship services. Her message title is "I choose you" and is based on the Scripture of John 15:9-17. Take a look and see what stands out for you. We will welcome Adam and Chris from Casowasco at our 10am service. We will be delivering meals to our shut in friends as well as part of our Meal Ministry. Look for us on the church's Facebook page at 10:00am with our "live stream" or after worship is over on our YouTube channel.   

+++ Camping Sunday is also this Sunday at the 10:00am worship service. We will be joined by friends from Casowasco. If you have thought about camp or know someone (neighbor, grandchild, friend) who might want to learn more, this is a great opportunity and there will be lots of fun. Don't' forget, we have camperships to assist with the cost of camp! Check out Casowasco's website for more information.

+++ Please keep Pastor Jack in prayer as he travels back to NY from his vacation. He has had a restful time and has enjoyed the warm weather. We will celebrate his return with the sacrament of Holy Communion on Sunday, May 12 (for both services) this month.

+++ Our conference delegates for the United Methodist Church's General Conference are wrapping things up in Charlotte, North Carolina There have been some changes made and Pastor Jack will provide a summary of those changes when he returns to worship next week. If you would like to read updates on our Upper NY conference website, you can access the website here.

+++ Applications for the Gordon Williams Scholarship are available on our website and in the church office. This scholarship is available to members of Immanuel that have graduated high school and will continue their education, which includes both college and trade school.

+++ Our Trustees will meet on Thursday, May 9 at 4pm. Trustees don't forget we changed the meeting to Thursday instead of Wednesday this month.

Blessings from the church office.
