CONGRATS ALISON DUNN!

Every year, one young woman in the Diocese of Missouri is awarded the Episcopal Church Women scholarship. This is meant for women going into a career of service to others, and I, Alison Dunn, am the 2023 recipient of this scholarship.

For those who do not know me, I have attended Emmanuel for my entire life (19 years) and have been an active member in the youth groups, choirs, and as an acolyte. I am going into my second year of education at Truman State University as a chemistry major getting my B.S. in Chemistry and a Master's degree in secondary education, with the goal of becoming a high school chemistry teacher after I graduate from the Master's program in 2027.

I have been attending Trinity Episcopal Church in Kirksville, and serving as the Peer Minister for campus ministry. Thank you to Emmanuel for always being my home!

At the 10 am service this Sunday, August 13

we will present Alison with the ECW scholarship.

WHAT'S UP AT EEC?

This Wednesday, we will have overnight visitors in the building! Adam Paddock and his cover band will open for Kings Kaleidoscope at The Old Rock House on the Wednesday, August 16 at 6 pm. Kings Kaleidoscope is an alternative Christian band & Adam tells us "we are very family friendly and uplifting as well!" Click here to buy tickets.

Our friends in the Episcopal Diocese of South Dakota reached out and asked if Emmanuel could accommodate Adam and the band for the night. For those who don't know, we have two showers on the lower level and cots. So, we are prepared for small groups such as this. If anyone would like to drop off homemade snacks, they'd love it. The band arrives Wednesday early afternoon and leaves Thursday morning for their next gig in Indianapolis.

WOMEN OF EMMANUEL-Post Covid

It's time to gather all Women of Emmanuel-Post Covid!

Mark your calendar for Wednesday, September 6 at 6 pm. for a gathering of Women of Emmanuel (WOE). We'll gather at Emmanuel for the simple purpose of getting together! Who knows, you may put a name to a face! Or maybe meet someone new to you! We'll provide a light dinner. And if needed, we'll provide childcare. More details will be coming in the next three weeks. Keep watching your email!!

The Food Center is in need of paper grocery store size bags!

BLESSING OF THE BACKPACKS!

Kids: grab your backpacks and head to the 10:00 am service on August 20th. We'll say a special prayer for you as you embark on a new school year. Teachers and school workers: please also come forward so we can pray for you to!

Great way to start off the school year, with prayers from your faith community. And each kiddo will get a key ring from Emmanuel for their backpack.

FAITHQUEST REGISTRATION!

Families, since you're registering "for it all" right now, might as well register for FaithQuest too! Even if you are unsure how many dates your child can attend, go ahead and register. Click here for a first semester calendar. FaithQuest this year will be on Sundays at 9 am. PreK-Grade 5 meet together and Grades 6-12 meet together. Click here to Register.

We're all on a faith journey!

PART TIME JOBS!

We have dozens of fantastic youth at Emmanuel, and many of them are interested in earning a little extra cash. If you need someone to babysit, water your plants, take care of your pets, or more, click this link or email Katie for more information. Youth, can we add your name to the list? Email Katie, and let her know what area of work you'd like to do.

MINISTRY UPDATE @EEC

DIOCESAN PILLAR UPDATE

The Earth Love pillar is a newer part of Faith in Action. This group is about caring for our environment and as in the prayers in the BCP (p. 388) "Give us all a reverence for the earth as your own creation, that we may use its resources rightly in the service of others

and to your honor and glory."

Anyone interested is invited to join them Sunday, August 20 after the 10 am service for a walk about the property to familiarize you with our grounds, and to brainstorm some action steps for the Earth Love pillar.

The Food Center packages food for clients in paper grocery bags and they are running very low on paper bags. If you have any or if you can get some, please drop them off. They may be left in the wicker basket by the glass entry doors at any time day or night! Thank you!!
