Conversations about Faith with Rev. Dr. Kaden in the Chapel: Join us after worship in the chapel from 11:30am to 12:15pm for “Conversations about Faith.” Our next meeting will be May 31st. We’re studying Rob Bell’s book Love Wins: A Book about Heaven, Hell, and the Fate of Every Person Who Ever Lived.

AfterWord: May 17th Are We a Welcoming Church? We would like to INVITE and WELCOME you to a brainstorming session after worship at 11:20 am on SUNDAY May 17 in the chapel. There will be childcare available at that time too. We are looking for FRESH IDEAS and need YOUR BRAIN and HEART to help us! Our goal is to do all we reasonably can to welcome and engage newcomers to our fellowship and community without chasing them away!

Do we have too many “holy huddles”? That’s when regular churchgoers gather in small groups of friends-we-already-know after worship and appear to not be welcoming to others (it’s not on purpose!!) Bring your coffee or beverage to our session – treats will be available 😊 Love from your Red-Stole-Wearing Welcome Team: Rob Hovey, Pam Hanna, Brian Wansink, Amy Stoll, Nancy Stewart, Sam Hoare, Shawn Galbreath Reposh

Cabinet food drop-off helpers needed after church services on your way home.

Each Sunday after services, 2 small prepared boxes of food and personal items are ready to be dropped off at our 2 downtown blue cabinet locations.

Complete your Sunday worship with a simple yet meaningful ministry! Would you please consider dropping one or both off on your way home? Contact Lynette at neighborhoodconnection@fccithaca.org or look for her in the lobby after services , or sign up on the sheets on the table.

Financial support of this ministry is also needed. You can donate using the Blue Cupboard envelopes in the pews or online at fcciIthaca.org. Food donations are also welcome.

We received a request from Catholic Charities to support their annual, community-wide Soap for Hope drive… any and all kinds of soap… now through May.

Local people with food stamps cannot buy these products. Look for the labelled collection box by the front doors.

Needed are: shampoo, hand soap, dish soap, laundry soap, shaving cream and toothpaste.

Outreach: Make a Difference!

Catholic Charities clothes closet at Samaritan House is in need of summer SHOES (and especially men’s sneakers and work shoes) !

Needed:  gently worn shoes for both men, women and children that are clean and in good condition. Bins for your donations are located at our new location next to the coat closet.

Thanks to  everyone who donated items for the Period Packs. We were able to provide 52 packs to Church World Services! A big shout out to our Youth who assisted in the packing!
