Weekly Newsletter of the Immanuel Presbyterian Church School

THIS SUNDAY: Pentecost Party!

Sign up TODAY!

All are welcome to join us for a celebration of Pentecost! During worship, we will ordain and install our new officers and recognize our graduates.

During Church School, children will read the story of the Holy Spirit coming to the Church and create thank-you gifts for this year's Church School teachers. 

Since all of the Gold Room teachers need to part of the installation and ordination service, youth will remain in worship this Sunday to support their teachers. Middle schoolers are welcome to go to the Green Room for Church School or stay in worship.

Following worship, join us in the Upper Room for the Pentecost Party! We will celebrate our high school graduates, thank our Church School teachers, and with a very happy birthday to the church. A light lunch will be served.

NEW! Care Corner & Worship Bags

Coming THIS SUNDAY in the back of the Sanctuary

In our efforts to continue making IPC a welcoming worship space for all, the Church School Committee and the session have approved the temporary installation of a "care corner" in the back of the sanctuary (in the northeast corner).

This special corner is a "landing zone" for anyone who needs some space beyond a pew to wiggle or move around while remaining in worship. Some rocking chairs, a small table and chairs, children's books, soft toys, and quiet activities will be available. This space is another option to the nursery, parlor, and cry room.

Additionally, new worship bags will be available for all children ages 3-12 to take their pews. Each bag includes activity pages, crayons, and other quiet activities. Bags will be available in the Care Corner.

Attention Nursery Families!

Event with Cassie

Donate to the Peanut Butter Drive!

Support Interchange Food Pantry

This spring our mission partners at the Interchange Food Pantry are hosting a special Peanut Butter collection drive! The hope for this special initiative is to meet the need for nutritious and filling food during the summer months when many families can't rely on a school lunch program.



Through June 30, Immanuel is collecting both 16 and 28 oz. jars of CREAMY peanut butter in a bin in the Astor Street coatroom. Let’s see if we can fill it! 

Summer is coming!

Recital and Floats

Root beer floats on the Astor Street steps will follow a short musical recital on July 3. Activites for children to enjoy during and after the recital will be available.

Special note about Vacation Bible School.... Due to low attendance at VBS over the last three years, the Church School Committee has opted to pause VBS this year. A special component for children will be added to IPC summer events for families to engage and additional gatherings for children and youth are being scheduled. VBS for adults will take place August 4, 5, and 6; child care will be available.
