Lizards and skunks and chinchillas - oh my!
Homecoming Sunday 2018 was a fantastic kick off to the fall season here at Immanuel. Things began with our last unity worship service at 9 a.m. 125 family members, friends, teachers and children joined together in prayer and worship with our fall music and liturgy. The passing of the peace was joyous and full.
After the service, children (and adults too!) explored God’s creation during the Animal Adventures program. It was great to see the expressions on everyone’s faces when Spongebob (the very large constrictor snake) and other more ‘cuddly’ animals were introduced. Jacqueline Fisante even had a chinchilla sit right on her head!
Following the program we enjoyed some Del’s lemonade, a Trail Mix snack bar, popcorn!, and delicious picnic meal prepared by Skip and Karl on the grill. Sandwiches, drinks, and desserts were prepared by the Hospitality team and volunteers. People sat under canopies to eat and chat, the kids climbed on the play structures, and an adult Bible Study idea was formed.
We raised $131 for the Capital Campaign with Del’s Lemonade sales at Homecoming!
We have more left so we’ll be selling $3 cups this Sunday - lemon and watermelon flavors available.
Enjoy a frosty treat after service!
It was a great coming together for all of us after a summer of adventures. We are ready to begin the new year of programs and worship, and look forward to the fall schedule. An enormous thank you to all those who contributed to make this day special!
