Christmas at IUCC
December is always an exciting time at Immanuel UCC. We escape the cold weather by gathering for worship, decorating for Christmas, and enjoying our children’s annual Christmas program. In this busiest of all months, we take time to reflect on “the reason for the season,” namely, the birth of Jesus Christ and the excitement of what He has given to us.
If you’re looking for a church home, what better time than the Christmas season to see what we have to offer? Each Sunday during Advent, we light a candle to symbolize the arrival of Jesus. Our choir, always in top form, takes it up one more notch. And we all can’t help but smile a little broader during this exciting time.
I once heard that your fellow church members are the family that you get to choose. This December, if you are looking for a church family, why not give us a try? At Immanuel UCC, all are welcome!
Sunday, December 20, 10:45 a.m. will be "A Service of Lessons and Carols": Readings from Scripture alternating with beloved Christmas music, both old and new. You won't want to miss it!
Christmas Eve, Thursday, December 24:
2:30 p.m. Communion Service
11:00 p.m. Candlelight Communion Service with
Righteous Rhythm ringing
Merry Christmas!

Exciting Events Continue
So many exciting things are continuing to happen at Immanuel UCC. Missionfest is just around the corner. The congregation will have the opportunity to sign up and then participate in a mission on Sunday, November 15th. This year we will be making blankets for Wayside Christian Mission and our own homebound members. We will provide labor and assistance at Bridgehaven. Serving our own members, labor will be provided to two different Immanuel members needing help with home upkeep. As in years past, we will be going to different homes in the community to place plastic over windows as part of Project Warm. We will also accumulate/ship packages for Operation Christmas Child with boxes full of goodies provided by IUCC members.
November 22 is our Harvest Homecoming. We are happy to be celebrating 100 years of IUCC confirmands! We look forward to worshipping and spending time with all. Worship is at 10:45 and will be followed by a lunch.
The Advent workshop is scheduled for December 6. The workshop, including crafts and fellowship, will be from 4:30 to 5:30 pm. Dinner will be served at 5:30. You won’t want to miss the much anticipated children’s play, “Christmas Around the World,” which will begin at 7:00 pm. Please join us for all the fun and fellowship!

Fall Activities in Full Force!
What a way to start fall!
September was buzzing with activity at Immanuel: Labor Day, Rally Day for Sunday School (including a new class for preschoolers), new Confirmation Class, September Stadiumfest and a very important Congregational Meeting adopting the first ever Vision Plan for our church.
There will be changes ahead in the next several months, but we are focused and driven to serving God with new energy. So letʼs rally our patience and understanding as we transition to the new Ministry Plan, gear up for Missionfest, Harvest Homecoming, Thanksgiving and Christmas, and continue carrying “Christʼs love to all as a healing, helping presence in the world.” Let our Mission be known! Amen?

New Beginnings
For a lot of people January is a time of new beginnings, but for me it has always been September. When I was young, school would begin, and it would be time to start a new grade, and take a step closer to adulthood. It seemed like forever but I finally became a young adult and it was off to college, which started in the cool breezes of a Wisconsin September. Adulthood really set in when I had a son of my own and every September he would go off to school to experience his own new beginnings. Now the theatre season reminds me that my favorite month is here and that I am starting fresh. The world is full of possibilities in September. Make Immanuel part of your fresh start and join us on Sunday mornings to worship God and take part in the church community.
May God bless you all,
Steve

Summer at Immanuel
We have had such a busy summer at Immanuel. It is hard to believe August is here already.
We had a great time at our Church Picnic in June which was held at Camp Cedar Ridge. We started with worship service at the Lodge, followed by a potluck lunch, fishing, swimming, games, and fellowship. We celebrated Pat Walton, our Director of Music and Children's Program's, 20th anniversary on July 5. The choir surprised her with a special Ode to Pat song written by one of our own choir members and then sang a favorite anthem of Pat's.
Vacation Bible School was a lot fun in July. We joined with Bardstown Road Presbyterian Church and did a combined Vacation Bible School there. On the last day we went to Tyler Park for a clean up of the park, lunch, and follow the leader.
The Youth Group decided to do work days around town the first week of July. They finished the week with a fun trip to Holiday World.
Hui-O-FEWS collected 202 bears on July 19 at our annual Teddy Bear Sunday. These were donated to Bears on Patrol to be used by public servants when children experience trauma.
Our Adopt A Bed Program is in full swing and our motto is “weeds be gone.” It is fun to take ownership for our beautiful property and give back to God. We have had two special lunches in July. One was for our Downtowners. They met at Fourth Street Live Food Court for lunch on July 9. They will meet again the 2nd Thursday in September. The other lunch was held on July 22 at Chick-fil-A for our Stay At Home Moms and their children.
I.Pause has been collecting for the Animal Food Bank. DAWGS Toy Collection is about to wrap up the first of August. The gently used toys are being donated for the Center for Women and Families.
CUFFS are gearing up for our Church Wide Garage Sale to be held Saturday, September 26 from 8 a.m. - 12 noon. We are sending some Happy Booster members on the Highland Communities Ministry Trip to Branson October 12-16. There are still some openings for anyone interested. Chancel Choir is starting back to their Wednesday night 7:15 p.m. rehearsals on August 26.
As you can see, we are a busy church and for that we are very thankful. It is great to have a full calendar! Come join us anytime. You are always welcome at Immanuel!

Adopt a Bed
1. What is black with white stripes and has no green?
2. What kind of bed needs care but is not slept in?
3. What kind of appeal makes a first impression?
There are over thirty landscape beds located on church property, all of which require continued care that changes with the seasons. Sunday July 5th the Property and Facility Maintenance Team introduced the congregation to the ADOPT A BED concept.
The concept is simple it requires taking ownership, accepting responsibility and making a commitment. The benefits are fun, fellowship and a feeling of accomplishment when completing a task. There is also a good feeling when one realizes that the work completed will be noticed by all who the view lawn and planting beds surrounding the church facility.
Members were asked to sign up in an effort to create nine separate groups who would agree to maintain a specific group of landscape beds. The great thing about being a part of ADOPT A BED is you do what you can when you can and there are no scheduled meetings. Even as an individual if you have an hour or two available you can contribute to improving the CURB APPEAL of Immanuel. The ADOPT THE BED concept leaves no one out. If someone is unable to be part of a specific group they can still participate. They can pick up litter, etc. and dispose of it properly, it all will make a difference.
The first Sunday, July 5th, one could sign up for a group and pick the beds they maintained over 45 members signed up. Five of the nine groups were filled that morning. The following week it was obvious by the end of the day Tuesday groups had already started to work on their specific beds.
It is being realized that working together, accepting ownership, experiencing Christian fun and fellowship are benefits not available when contracting to have the work done.
NOT THE ANSWERS
1. Immanuel’s parking lot.
2. Landscape beds.
3. CURB APPEAL
