Greetings from
Emmanuel Episcopal Church!
This Sunday is the Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost.
This is the longest season of the church year, lasting from Pentecost Day until Advent. The year following Epiphany and Pentecost is called Ordinary Time, and includes no major feasts. But it is a time for learning and reflection. The color of the season is green, symbolizing the life and growth of the church.
We look forward to seeing you in church!

The Meal Train: All Aboard!
The vestry of Emmanuel Episcopal Church has invited you to join the meal train for Jim and Sue Beyer as they recover from their recent health issues.
If you can sign up to take a meal, that would be appreciated.
Please call Penny Longo at (708) 275-5028 if you have any questions.
What is a meal train?
There are times in our lives when friends and family ask, "What can I do to help out?" The answer is usually to help them with a meal. When many friends give a meal, this is a meal train.
MealTrain.com is a free meal calendar tool that makes planning meals among a wide group easy and less stressful.
Please click on the logo above to access the Meal Train for Jim and Sue.
On behalf of Jim and Sue Beyer, Thank You!

Saint of the Week:
Willibrord of Utrecht, Archbishop and Missionary
Willibrord, first Archbishop of Utrecht, is one of the missionaries sent out by the Anglo-Saxon Christians about a century after they had themselves been Christianized by missionaries in the south and east of England from Rome and the Continent, and in the north and west from the Celtic peoples of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
Our information about Willibrord comes to us from the Venerable Bede
(History of the English Church and People, v. 10-11) and from a biography by his younger kinsman Alcuin (Minister of Education under the Emperor Charlemagne). Willibrord was born in Northumbria in England about 658, and studied in France and Ireland. In 690 he set out with 12 companions to preach to the pagans of Frisia (a region roughly coextensive with the province of Friesland in the Netherlands, including some adjacent territories and the Frisian islands in the North Sea). His work was interrupted several times by wars, and he left for a while to preach to the Danes instead. He died 7 November 739.
Willibrord is a symbol of ties between the Christians of England and those of Holland. Today the historic See of Utrecht is in full communion with the Church of England.
