Immanuel Newsfeeds & Sunday Hybrid Worship, June 26, 2022

"Faith That Feeds"

www.immanuelevanston.org

We believe that faith should feed and nurture our spirits.

We believe also that faith should lead us to feed people

in the many different ways they hunger,

both physically and spiritually.

SUNDAY HYBRID WORSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT

The Third Sunday in Pentecost

Pride Sunday

We have no good apart from God. That makes Jesus’ call to follow him an invitation to freedom. This is freedom to revel in the Spirit’s fruit: love, joy, peace, and patience. This is freedom to not be imprisoned by anything that would keep us from the fullness of the life God has given us. This is the path of life.

Sunday Hybrid Worship

Prelude begins at 10:20 a.m.,

Service at 10:30 a.m.

Holy Communion

There are two options for receiving Holy Communion in worship.

You may pick up pre-packaged communion elements and commune in the pew, or prepare your own elements in advance if worshipping via Zoom. The pastor will say “The body of Christ given for you and the blood of Christ shed for you" following the singing of the Lamb of God.

The other option is to come forward to receive the bread from the Pastor and wine or grape juice from the Assisting Minister. The glasses will be pre-poured, with the grape juice in the inner circle and wine in the outer circle. Each person will take their own glass from the tray. The Assisting Minister and Pastor will remain masked during the distribution. Please keep in mind proper physical distance from other worshippers in coming forward and in removing your mask to consume the elements. Empty glasses can be deposited in trays on the front pews. This will be a continuous communion, standing to receive the elements.

Special Tour for Immanuel Members

A Site of Struggle

American Art against Anti-Black Violence

Wednesday, June 29, 2022, 6:45 pm

The Block Museum, Northwestern U. campus

Click on the logo to learn more.

A one-hour tour for this highly praised exhibit has been arranged for church members and friends by Immanuel’s Anti-Racism Committee. The exhibit explores how artists through works created between 1895 and 2013 have engaged with America’s centuries-long history of anti-Black violence. Themes range from slavery and lynching to suppression of civil rights struggles, contemporary mob violence, and police brutality.

It’s a short walk from the campus parking lot to the museum. Please arrive no later than 7 pm as the museum closes at 8:00. (Staff advises that an hour is enough time to see the whole exhibit.) Weather willing, we’ll gather after the tour at nearby picnic tables to share our thoughts and reflections and enjoy some simple refreshments. If you plan to attend, RSVP to pastor@immanuelevanston.org.

Living Lutheran: “Gen Z and the Church”

“Young people in the church today know what they want from faith-based institutions,” writes Stephanie N. Grimoldby in the June/July issue of Living Lutheran. “If a church offers relationships, mentors, authenticity and political engagement, they’ll stay, often becoming leaders who will take to the streets to fight for what they believe.”
