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
Sunday
s, 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
Traditionally, the open plate offering on a Sunday in June benefits the David E. Weaver IV Memorial Fund. This year that will be Sunday June 10th as we remember the life and legacy of David.
For newer members of our church family,
David E. Weaver IV was the son of our former Rector David E. Weaver III and his wife Sally
who, along with his sister Rachel and her family, worship with us.
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.

While I am always on call for pastoral care, this summer with our trip to Disney World and Sweden I have asked The Rev. David Jackson and Deacon Bill to be on call the weeks I will be away. It is best to contact us on our cell phones, which are included on the calendar HERE.
Peace,
Ellen+

Note of Thanks to the Choir
I want to thank you for the time, work, and heart that you put into preparing our music each Sunday throughout the year. You are a small yet dedicated group. Yet, providing weekly anthems and congregational support for the hymns we sing is only a small portion of what you give back to Emmanuel. In my 30 years of doing this work, I have learned that the choir is the backbone of every parish. Choristers are vestry and committee members, coffee hour volunteers, church historians and gardeners. Choristers are doers and let me assure you, your sacrifices are very much appreciated!
Enjoy the summer, and I look forward to working with you again in September. - George Tarasuk

La Grange Business Association
Summer Art Project
Dozens of La Grange businesses are participating in an outdoor art display of cozy, hand-painted love seats. Local businesses have sponsored each love seat and secured professional or amateur local artists to paint them. Designs range from whimsical to sophisticated and contemporary to traditional.
The love seats will be displayed near storefronts from Memorial Day through Labor Day as a way to showcase the local arts scene in La Grange and entice visitors to the village; they'll be auctioned off from the West End Arts Festival on Sept. 8.
Emmanuel is now a member of the LGBA, and we will be featured as part of the village walk to find all of the benches. Our loveseat was designed by our very own Rachel Weaver Rivera and painted by Rachel and Dorren Gertsen-Briand.

Emmanuel Garage Sale
The Emmanuel garage sale is planned for Friday, August 24th and Saturday, August 25th. We will begin accepting donations the week after Memorial Day.
We will be looking again for any donated items; if you have a neighbor who is moving - please pass on our information.
We are using the nursery for the first part of the summer to store any donations, except for children's toys, clothes and small sports equipment, which we ask that you take downstairs to the swamp. The nursery will not be in use for the summer.
We are looking forward to another successful sale this year, so please start saving items that you think will sell well. If you need help bringing large items or other donations to the church, please contact the office to arrange a pick up.
We do not want large sports equipment, adult clothes, or TVs, as they do not sell.
Thanks in advance for your donations!

Jackson Kemper
Bishop, Missionary
24 May 1870
Jackson Kemper was born 24 December 1789 in Pleasant Valley, New York, attended Columbia College, and was ordained a priest in 1814. In 1835, the Episcopal Church undertook to consecrate missionary bishops to preach the Gospel west of the settled areas, and Kemper was the first to be chosen. He promptly headed west.
Having found that clergy who had lived all their lives in the settled East were slow to respond to his call to join him on the frontier, he determined to recruit priests from among men who were already in the West, and established a college in St. Louis, Missouri, for that purpose. He went on to found
the seminary Nashotah House and Racine College in Wisconsin.
He constantly urged a more extensive outreach to the Indian peoples, and translations of the Scriptures and the services of the Church into Indian languages. From 1859 till his death in 1870, he was bishop of Wisconsin, but the effect of his labors covered a far wider area.
The indefatigable Jackson Kemper established much of the Episcopal Church of the Midwest, including the Dioceses of Kansas, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota.
He is memorialized in churches throughout the region, as in the stained glass window seen above from St. Paul's, Kansas City, Missouri. In the lower left-hand corner, he is riding a horse - a fitting tribute, as he covered a territory of 450,000 miles, mostly by horseback. Bad weather never stopped him from traveling. "He went once for twenty miles in a driving snowstorm without seeing a house; one night he was glad to share with eleven others the shelter of a log house of a single room; the snow drifted in and lay in heaps upon the middle of the floor...'
For 11 years of his ministry, he did not have a permanent residence. Finally, in 1846, "Bishop Kemper took possession of a rustic homestead, thenceforth humorously known as 'the Palace,' hard by Nashotah" which became his home base until the end of his life.
He also appears in the novel The Deacon as a ghost who haunts Grace Church, Madison, Wisconsin.
