  The Healing Service is an institution at Emmanuel that has been suspended during our period of isolation resulting from the pandemic. It is highly appropriate that we bring it back out of concerns for casualties of Covid-19, and those who are suffering because of social isolation, or other illness or infirmity.

  The format of the service will be familiar to those who have attended previously, with the exception that we cannot offer communion because that is something that must be served in person. We instead use a special prayer that invites the presence of Jesus Christ into our worship at the appropriate time.

• Emmanuel Stewardship Committee Message

  EMMANUEL STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE MESSAGE

  
  The theme for our stewardship campaign this year is “Together in Spirit”. I cannot think of a better theme during this year of COVID. As I write, I’m attending Sunday School on Zoom. I have also watched church services online and participated in Vestry meetings, all done remotely. Although I desperately miss seeing my friends from church, I wonder in amazement at the technology, allowing invisible communication waves to fly from one place to another, connecting us in spirit.

  
  Our little gold rush church has adapted to the changes thrust upon it by the pandemic. We continue to survive and thrive, making Christ known to others using the Internet. Despite the challenges, changes, and adaptations we have to make, we still have to fund our church. Buildings still need repair, appliances continue to require replacement, and staff has to be paid.

  
  Pledging our financial support helps us plan our church’s annual income and construct our yearly budget. I personally find pledging an act of faith that God’s abundance will be given so I in turn can give. In the coming months we will be explaining the pledging process further and providing the tools needed to give. We on the Vestry thank you for the gifts you are giving to keep our church green and growing.

• Emmanuel's Buildings and Grounds - Sept 2020

  EMMANUEL BUILDINGS & GROUNDS SEPTEMBER 2020

  
  In early August we had the new A/C and Furnace installed and things are working well. Thank you to those who made a donation to the Capital Improvement find. Donations are still welcome from anyone who would like to help support these unanticipated ($11,172) expenditures. Please indicate “Capital Improvement” on the memo line of a check sent to the church office, or make a donation through the Online Giving Portal via the Capital Improvement selection on the pull-down menu.

   

  • The ceiling in the Sunday School classroom is being repaired through volunteers. The hole was caused by a water leak and rodent damage we had back in April.
  • Due to the extreme heat we’ve experienced in July and August the much-needed electrical work for the Rectory has to be delayed until October.
  • We’ve had Weiss Landscaping out a few extra times in July and August to address the sprinkler water flow and the dry-brown areas in the lawn and garden areas.

  
  We are looking at Building & Grounds needs for 2021. Staining the church and painting the exterior of the Rectory are on the list so far. Please feel free to contact me, if you have any questions.

  Your “Time and Talent” is always welcome, when it comes to our Emmanuel Buildings and Grounds. Thank you.
