Soup for the Pilgrimage!
Soup Sundays are back, and all proceeds will benefit this summer's Liverpool-Virginia Youth Pilgrimage! These wonderful homemade soups come ready to heat or freeze in 32 ounce containers. Selections for this week (February 19th) are:
- Chili - Gluten and Dairy free
- Chicken Noodle - Dairy Free (with a limited number of Gluten AND Dairy Free)
The donation you give for the soup is up to you, though you are encouraged to give generously! If anyone would like to pre-order soup, just email Peyton Farnsworth, the youth pilgrim coordinating the soup sales, at peyton.farnsworth@gmail.com by Friday, February 17. Whether or not you have pre-ordered, soups will be ready for pickup after the 10am service on Sunday, February 19.
Pre-orders will be marked and left in the Parish House fridge for pickup on Monday or Tuesday by Cherub families and Immanuel parishioners who could not make it to church on Sunday. Britton Trimble, the Parish Administrator, will handle the Monday and Tuesday pick-ups.
Yoga at Immanuel
Join us for Integral Hatha Yoga, taught by Martha Childress, RYT 200! Starting today, Wednesday, 2/15, the Yoga class moves to Wednesdays at 6pm in the Parish House. The recommended donation remains at $12. Beginner to intermediate levels are welcome; please bring your own mat.
Martha has taken 200 hours of training to become certified to teach Yoga through the Integral school, which was founded by Sri Swami Satchidananda, who stated the goal of Yoga is "an easy body, a peaceful mind and a useful life." Contact Martha at c86c88@aol.com if you have questions.

Parish House Security System
If you are the last person to leave the Parish House, it's up to you to lock up and arm the security system. If the system only beeps once when you try to arm it instead of starting the 45 second countdown of beeps, it's not armed. Pull the main door more tightly closed, stand still in front of the alarm panel for a few moments, and try again. If you set off the alarm by mistake, please call Britton Trimble, Parish Administrator immediately at 814-7342. Please call Britton if you have trouble arming the system.
