JOIN OUR TECH TEAM

We are blessed to have a significant online congregation who participate in worship with us each Sunday at Emmanuel. We are also blessed to have a Tech Ministry Team who faithfully make that happen. Thank you to our current Tech Team Ministers: 8:00 - Alex Hughey. 10:00: Dave Powers, Tom Jones, Nicholas Romano, and Jae Park (back-up). We are so grateful to you! We need another Tech Minister for our 8:00 service and two more to add to the rotation for our 10:00 service. It's easy to learn and the whole team is there to support you. If you would like to join this team, please contact Valori+ Thank you!

COME ONE, COME ALL!

Mark your calendars for VBS August 7th-10th from 9:00 until 12:00. Originally, we planned to attend VBS at Christ Lutheran in June. We recently learned that, due to unforeseen circumstances, Christ Lutheran is unable to host. So, we pivoted, and we're hosting a "Service Circus" VBS where we'll focus on what we can do to help others. More details soon! Please invite friends and family!

BREAD DELIVERIES

Way back when, Mary Jane Kuhn was chair of newcomers. She started making dessert breads that she and Rick delivered to newcomers. In more recent years, Charlotte Martin, Shari Kelts, Debby Martin and Mimi helped. During COVID bread delivery was curtailed. But, it's 2023 and we're making it happen again! Bread is made in advance and kept in the freezer at Emmanuel and made ready for delivery as needed.  If you would like to make breads i.e. pumpkin, banana, blueberry, etc. or if you would like to deliver bread or if you'd like to do both, contact Mimi Shipp.  

GUEST AUTHOR

Please join us on Sunday, June 11 at 11:15 for a special presentation from Mrs. Debbie Nelson Linck. Mrs. Nelson Linck is a former kindergarten teacher, author, and fellow Episcopalian. She will discuss her book, Pauli Murray: Shouting for the Rights of All People. This event is for ALL ages, and it's the perfect time to grab a friend or neighbor to enjoy learning from our special guest.

CHALICE BEARERS

During the height of the Covid pandemic, communion at Emmanuel was suspended. We have reinstated communion, but have not used the common cup. This fall, we’re planning to once again use the common cup, and we’ll need chalice bearers to help us. Please contact Katie Gregston if you would like to explore your place in this ministry.

PENTECOST AT HOME

We've done several things at church to celebrate Pentecost, but if you're looking for additional ideas to try at home, check out this link.

WEAR ORANGE

Help end gun violence. Meet at Webster Presbyterian on June 4 at 12:00, and march to Emmanuel for prayers, speakers and educational opportunities. We need all ages to take part. Be inspired, take action, help prevent further tragedies. If you'd like to take a volunteer role, please use this link.

CELEBRATE JUNETEENTH

Mark your calendar for Saturday, June 17 from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm. Isaiah 58 Ministries is hosting a Juneteenth Freedom Celebration with free BBQ, an ice cream truck, live entertainment, educational booths, cool crafts and lots more. The event will be held indoors if inclement weather occurs.
