Are you new or newish?



If you're new or relatively new at Emmanuel we invite you to three Summer Wednesday Dinners.

June 21, 28 and July 5 at 6:00 pm

Dinner will be provided, no cost. Participants are invited to bring desserts. In this three-part series we'll talk about Emmanuel and The Episcopal Church- our theology, practice, and mission. These three discussions will prepare you to be Confirmed, Received or Reaffirmed when Bishop Deon visits us on July 9, 2023.

If you are not interested in being Confirmed, Received or Reaffirmed at this time, you are still welcome to come meet others who are new(ish) like you!

Men of Emmanuel (MOE) will meet Thursday, June 22 at 6:30 pm to prepare brown bag lunches that will be delivered to Gateway 180 Homeless Services. Gateway180 is one of the only family shelters in the region and is located in downtown west.

LOVE + SERVE YOUTH TRIP

Several of our youth and adult leaders will participate in the LifeWise StL's Urban Forum Program next week. Urban Forum provides volunteer groups with the opportunity to serve within early childhood, youth development and family development programs. Service projects are paired with curriculum designed to help participants gain a greater understanding of issues facing those who live in poverty and on the margins of society.

Thank you to Katie Gregston, EEC Children & Youth Ministries Coordinator, for organizing this opportunity.

THE MIGHTY PLAYERS!

Last weekend, our softball team won 2 out of 3 games and had great fun! Even the dogs enjoyed 'watching the balls'! Thanks to Scot Copeland for gathering the team and to all who risked sore muscles to get out there and slug and run!

2023 CELEBRATION OF WOMEN'S MINISTRY

Women make up more than half of the ordained priests and deacons serving in the Diocese of Missouri. Since coming here, Bishop Deon has led a special worship service to shine the spotlight on women's ministry. This year the service will be Sunday, June 25 at 5 pm and will celebrate Dean Kathie Adams Shepherd's 40th anniversary of her ordination.

We are all beloved children of God.

BEGIN WITH LOVE

Episcopal Church Foundation recently published a video by Bishop Deon entitled Begin with Love. In it he says, “My prayer, my hope, my dream for us as a church is that we are, in the words of [former] Presiding Bishop Edmond Browning, a place where there are no outcasts."
