Please follow these guidelines:
Item Pickups If you have items to be picked up and brought to the church, we will be glad to help you. However, we would prefer to schedule these pickups on Tuesday, May 2nd as this is when the Tuesday morning gentlemen are at your service. Please call Shelley Dawson Smith at 315-727-0671 before April 25th to schedule your pick up. 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. Garage Sale Setup Volunteers Help is needed on Saturday, April 29th at 11:00am moving items that have been stored in the garage sale room to the fellowship hall. The members of Immanuel have been very busy cleaning out their closets this past year and these donations have caused the garage sale room to burst at the seams! Any help, even for an hour, would be greatly appreciated. Sign-up sheet will be in the Narthex or just show up. Chrysanthemums will be available for the Sanctuary on Easter Sunday. The cost per plant is $10.
Please fill out the form and give your order, along with payment, to Phyllis Girvan. (Make checks payable to “Immanuel UMC” with “Easter plant” in memo) The form can also be left in the office. Orders will be taken until April 2nd. Immanuel United Methodist Church

Unlike last year's monsoon, the weather was perfect for a 3-mile walk and ALL walkers were fortified prior to the walk by a lunch of Barb Blanchard's "world famous" macaroni & cheese. Immanuel's team of walkers were Jane Monnell (and dog Posie), Shelley Dawson Smith, Erin, Chris & Joey Paoli (and dog Penny) and John & Nori Gartner (and dog Baca). At the end of the walk, we were treated to a snack and bottle of water by Liverpool 1st UMC which was very kind of them. I'm happy to say that Immanuel raised $1,130.00 because of the fund-raising efforts of the team members and also Barb Merckel. Thanks to everyone who contributed; your donations will help fund six local agencies that feed and minister to the people in our community. Thank you everyone! Shelley Dawson Smith |
