Community First Aid Class
Sunday, April 6, 2025 11:00am – 2:00pm
Basic First Aid knowledge is invaluable in this unpredictable world today. Sudden illnesses, accidents, and, unfortunately, mass casualty events—both natural and man-made, can happen when we least expect it. Our most surprising events often occur in our own home! Being able to help until EMS arrives may help save a life! Please join us to learn the signs of heart attack, stroke, shock, drug overdose, allergic reactions, and what to do if you are first on the scene of an accident. We will cover Stop the Bleed training, CPR basics and the Heimlich (choking) for adults, infants, and children, AED use, as well as Narcan, EpiPen and Neffy use. It is NOT a certification program. It is informational only, with both a lecture and a hands-on component.
We are looking forward to you joining us for this special day of learning!! Brunch will be provided.
Please sign up here or at Marcellus First Presbyterian Church.
At Marcellus First Presbyterian Church, we believe that we are meant to live out our faith in the world. We are very active in mission projects that give each one of us the chance to make a difference. Our members work together in a variety of one-time and recurring mission giving opportunities.

COLLECTING COATS FOR INTERFAITH REFUGEES
MFPC Mission Interpretation Committee members Tom O'Neil, Sandy Manciocchi, and Joanna Bogdan-Fyles count and pack coats, hats, mittens and scarves donated by church members. The donations were taken to Interfaith Works and will be given to refugee families the organization helps to settle in our community.
INTERFAITH WORKS CENTER FOR NEW AMERICANS
Following our tradition of “getting out of the pews” when there are five Sundays in the month and into the community for a hands-on mission experience,16 volunteers left the parking lot after worship on Sunday, September 29 for the InterFaith Works (IFW) warehouse in East Syracuse. After a brief orientation by IFW staff, two groups of volunteers headed to two apartments, which will soon house incoming refugee families. Furniture was arranged, beds made up, curtains hung, bathrooms readied, and the kitchens cleaned and stocked with dishes, pots and pans and cooking utensils. Read more.......
SLEEP IN HEAVENLY PEACE
Church members built a bed as part of the Mission Interpretation Committee’s fifth Sunday field trip to Sleep in Heavenly Peace June 30. Assembling a single bed are Sue Wegman and Karl Barner, front, and Steve Barney and Ken Fyles, back, with Tom O’Neill. Tom showed participants around the building where materials are stowed and assembled. The non-profit organization is an all-volunteer group that builds, assembles and delivers beds to children (ages 3 to 17) in need in the greater Syracuse and Oswego City area. Since its first delivery Oct. 6, 2018, the local organization has delivered more than 5,000 beds.
