Garage Sale Event Volunteers Are Needed
Sign-up sheets will be in the Narthex or ask Shelley Dawson Smith how you can help 315-727-0671.

Serving Others Through Our “Souper” Bowl Sunday

2/11/2026

 
On February 8, 2026, our congregation showed their team spirit by wearing their favorite jerseys and supporting our annual “Souper” Bowl collection. Along with the fun, our church family brought in canned soup and monetary donations to help neighbors in need.

All contributions will be shared between St. Joseph’s Food Pantry in Camillus and the Brown UMC Food Pantry on the West Side.

Thank you to everyone who gave so generously. Your kindness makes a real difference in our community.
