Indoor Worship Information
To continue to comply with CDC and NY State Dept. of Health guidelines, the following parameters will remain in force as we re-open:
1. The wearing of face coverings, maintaining of physical distancing, use of hand sanitizers and a sign-in and sign-out system will continue to be our operating procedure. 
2. We will continue to maintain a single entrance/exit near the Sanctuary for building access and we will need to continue to refrain from singing and serving food of any kind.
Our service schedule will be:
1. 8:30am worship will take place in the Fellowship Hall.
2. 10:00am worship will take place in the Sanctuary.
Each service will have a total attendance capacity of 50 people. This will be done on a “first come-first seated” basis. After reaching the maximum of 50 people in the room, we will attempt to accommodate others in an “over-flow” area. An attendance log (from the sign-in sheets) will be maintained in the event contact tracing for a Covid-19 situation is needed.
We desire everyone to make the best possible choice for themselves about attendance and we will continue to offer our “on-line” worship, available through the church website.


Coat Drive Successful!

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!!

Winter Bible Study
We will be starting up a new Bible Study group in January and February! This study will be on the Gospel of John and will run for 8 weeks. The study will be held, via ZOOM, on Monday evenings at 7:00pm and Wednesday mornings at 10:00am!
My tentative schedule is as follows:
Week of January 11 The Mystery of God
January 18 Jesus Offers Life
January 25 Do You Want to Live?
February 1 The Law and Freedom
February 8 Who is the God Whom
Jesus Reveals?
February 15 To Be a Disciple of Jesus
Christ
February 22 The Holy Spirit Creates and
Sustains the Church
March 1 The Glorification of God
There is no book needed for this study but there will be some reading in the Gospel account each week. Just grab your favorite Bible version, and a cup of coffee and you can log on to the ZOOM gathering each week. Each session will be
approximately 90 minutes and, since the Monday and Wednesday sessions are identical, you can switch between groups should your schedule require it!
Please send me an email prior to 1/11/21 and I’ll send you out the ZOOM invitation each week. Then you just click on the link in the invitation email on your I-phone, tablet or laptop computer.
I’m looking forward to seeing you in Bible
Study this winter! ~Pastor Jack
The Sunday Meal Ministry
Picture
.....An ongoing ministry at Immanuel

We have undertaken a ministry of delivering a meal once a month to our friends who aren’t able to attend worship each week. If you know someone who would like to receive a meal or if you would like to participate, please see Pastor Jack or Pam.

The Shoe Ministry
Picture
.....An ongoing ministry at Immanuel
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.
