New member classes are scheduled for Wednesday, November 5 at 6:00 pm in the upstairs library OR Sunday, November 16 at 4:00 pm in the Fellowship Hall. Please sign up at the link below or contact the office to sign up for which session you would like to attend.

We will be collecting food during the month of November to coincide with the TV6 Canton. The cart will be set up outside of the Fellowship Hall for collection. You can also go to tv6canathon.com to donate or text CANATHON to 44321. Please be generous as many are in need right now. All donations will be brought to St. Vincent de Paul. Thank you!

The Social Ministry Committee will again be offering wreath making on Sunday, December 7 from 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm. This is a free event for the congregation and community. Supplies will be provided but participants can bring their own decorations, wire cutters, scissors, and wire form. Spread the word!

Once again, Immanuel will be participating in the Angel Tree Program by providing gifts for children of inmates at Christmas time. This is another way we can express love for the families of those who are incarcerated . Gifts can be purchased with a value of $20 - $25 or donations can be made to Immanuel indicating “The Angel Tree” as the designated areas.

We will be receiving 15-16 names of children needing Christmas “donations” this year. Their ages usually range from 1 to 18 years of age, both males and females. This year the program will be run by the Social Ministry Committee instead of the office. More information will be available soon.

The Sunday School students will be singing at the 9:30 am Worship Service on December 14.

Immanuel will be having a Birthday Party for Baby Jesus on Saturday, December 6 from 2:00-5:00pm. Crafts, snacks, games and supper are on tap. Enjoy an afternoon for yourself. Drop off preschool through elementary age children for an afternoon of Bible themed Christmas activities. Although there is no fee, donations of diapers will be gratefully accepted. The Care Clinic sent us a message that they have an oversupply of small size diapers, but they need size 3 or larger.

Registration is required. The registration form and agenda will be available shortly. Watch for them on Immanuel’s website https://www.ilcneg.com.
