The Season after Pentecost
The season after Pentecost, according to the calendar of the church year (BCP, p. 32), begins on the Monday following Pentecost, and continues through most of the summer and autumn. It may include as many as twenty-eight Sundays, depending on the date of Easter.
The Season after Pentecost begins with an observance of Trinity Sunday when we remember and honor the Triune God revealed to us in and through the life of the Resurrected Christ. On Trinity Sunday, white is the color of the day.
From Trinity Sunday on, the color will be green as we move into ordinary time and hear the lessons of Jesus' teachings and learn how to live the Christian life. The color for the season after Pentecost is green to symbolize the growth and life of the church. It is the longest season of the church year, from Trinity Sunday until the first Sunday of Advent.

DAVID E. WEAVER IV MEMORIAL FUND
As June quickly approaches, our thoughts turn
to the David E. Weaver IV Memorial Fund. For those of you newer to our congregation, David E. Weaver IV was the son of our former Rector David E. Weaver III, and his wife Sally. As his Dad was with us for 20 years, David grew up in our community. He was an amazing young man. He passed away in 2003 and this Memorial Fund was established in his memory.
The committee met recently to choose this year's recipients. All are organizations benefiting the youth of the greater La Grange area. David was committed to social justice and improving the lives of young people.
We will celebrate and honor his life this Sunday, Trinity Sunday. The free will offering will be for this purpose. Checks with notation on the memo line are welcome as well. Thank you to all who contribute to this very special effort.

Saint of the Week: Saint
Dustan
Feast Day: May 19
Dunstan (909 - 19 May, 988)
was an Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey, a Bishop of Worcester, a Bishop of London, and an Archbishop of Canterbury, later canonized as a saint.
He was born into a noble family, and after being educated by monks, became a monk himself in about 934 and was ordained as a priest about five years later.
In a chaotic age, when Anglo-Saxons and Danes fought each other for control of Great Britain, his work restored monastic life in England and reformed the English Church. His 11th-century biographer, Osbern, himself an artist and scribe, states that Dunstan was skilled in "making a picture and forming letters," as were other clergy of his time who reached senior rank.
Dunstan served as an important minister of state to several English kings. He was the most popular saint in England for nearly two centuries, having gained fame for the many stories of his greatness, not least among which were those concerning his famed cunning in defeating the devil.

WISH LIST
A 32-42 Inch flat screen Television
Having a television is essential for the way I teach. I use technology, and PowerPoint, video clips and YouTube to teach. I have found this use of technology to be effective for really all ages.
If you are thinking of replacing your 32-42 inch (or larger) flat screen, consider donating it to Emmanuel.
Thanks, Ellen+

We are in the process of hiring a new church sexton. Until that happens be aware that you may not have everything set up as you normally would. We are going to need everyone's help to pitch in and throw away trash if you see it and report any major concerns to the church office.
If you have time and would like to help please let Judy know. This will be a learning curve for all of us. So I'm praying for patience, cooperation, and a great new sexton to come our way.
Ellen+
