Our Kidz Club kids are bursting with creativity, and it shows in this amazing mural! The idea to paint a mural? 100% theirs! The colorful masterpieces? All their own creations! With just a few helpful tips from church member and artist Jeff Gribble, they turned a plain wall into a work of art— all in just a couple of hours after church one morning.
Stop by and see their fantastic artwork for yourself—just head to the Kasson Road entrance!

In keeping with our chili January weather, the theme for our Second Sunday Lunch was snowmen and snowflakes, accompanied by 11 crockpots of warm chili, chowders and soups to try.  The dessert table was loaded with seven kinds of pies and cake! 

​A record crowd of 43 folks enjoyed a lunch of delicious food and warm fellowship.  Prize winners were rewarded with gift cards and chocolates from the Chocolate Pizza Company.

We ended 2024 by celebrating Dan Miller as he officially begins retirement!

Dan was involved in church music ministry for over 40 years! We are glad that Dan, Lisa and Annie will continue to sing in the choir and be a part of our music ministry.

We will begin 2025 with Colin Keating as our music director and pianist/organist. Colin will lead the adult choir and he will be the contact person for special music. If you have an interest in being a part of the music ministry, please reach out to Colin!

​Immanuel is so fortunate to have such a wonderful, dedicated staff!

Pastor Jack made an announcement during worship yesterday regarding a letter from United Methodists of Upper New York Bishop Hector.  This letter is in regards to the California fires and ways to help.  You can read the letter here. 

You can make a gift through the UMCOR (United Methodist Committee on Relief)website.  Clicking in the designation drop down box, you will see California Wildfires as the third option. 

It also gives you an option to give your church credit for the donation.  On this dropdown box, you will need to enter our zip code, 13031 and then click on "Camillus Immanuel" if you want to give credit to Immanuel.

Making a donation online in this way is the most expedient way for your gift to get to those in need.

Please keep all those affected in your prayers.

Living Nativity
​
On Saturday, December 14, 2024, members and friends of our congregation retold the story of Jesus' birth outside with young people portraying the people in the nativity scene, accompanied by live animals, songs, and candlelight. After the service, everyone was invited inside for hot cocoa and cookies. Despite the cold, everyone had a great time!

​Caroling at Brookdale Summerfield and Brookdale Bellevue

On Sunday, December 15, members of Immanuel shared the joy of Christmas by singing Christmas carols and ringing bells with residents of Brookdale Summerfield and Brookdale Bellevue. So wonderful to see all the smiles on both the residents' and participants' faces.

Join us on Saturday, December 14 at 6pm for the retelling of the Christmas story. There will be songs, live animals and hot cocoa! Dress for the weather and come hear the Good News!
