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.

Immanuel Crop Walk Team Raised $1130!

12/19/2022

 
Immanuel United Methodist CROP Walk teamImmanuel's Team
On October 16th the Greater Syracuse Hunger Walk took place at Onondaga Lake Park. 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
