Lessons and Carols

On Sunday, December 31, New Year's Eve, we will have one service only of Lessons and Carols with Holy Eucharist. Special music will be offered by the many talented soloists and instrumentallists of the Emmanuel choir. Our very own Susan Clauss has newly arranged "The Angel Gabriel", which will be premiered at the service.

Taizé on New Year's Eve

You are invited to attend a very special candlelit service on New Year's Eve at 5 p.m. at Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis.



Join Confluence: A Center for Spirituality for prayers, scripture reading, and chants in the style of Taizé. And this year Deacon Jerre will be the cantor!

Stay for refreshments and a toast to the new year after the service. All are welcome!

Friends, as is well known by now, the Northview Nursing home on Kingshighway was shut down suddenly, leaving staff unpaid for two weeks work and displacing 175 senior citizens. The residents of Northview were forced to leave without notice and without letting family members know where they were going. The senior citizens were also forced to leave all their possessions at the nursing home as there was not enough room in the vehicles driving them to their new living arrangements.

Displaced Workers Fund for Workers at Northview Village Nursing Home will be held at the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri. 

The direct link and text-giving instructions are below. Donors will receive a tax acknowledgment from the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri. All funds collected will go to assist workers displaced by the sudden closure of Northview Village Nursing Home.
