2012 Sunday Worship Schedule Time Change:
After careful consideration, the Vestry has decided to change our Sunday morning worship schedule to accommodate the integration of our Sunday School Classes and our Choral Holy Eucharist service. As of January 8, 2012 the 10:00am service will begin at 9:30am. Children's Sunday School will begin at 9:15am. The change will allow the youngest members of Emmanuel join their families at the Peace for the Holy Eucharist.

Our new Sunday Worship Schedule will be as follows:
8:00am - Holy Eucharist
9:15 - 10:00am - Children's Sunday School
9:30 - Holy Eucharist with organ and choir
11:00am Adult Education

Childcare is offered for infants and young children from 9:45am until the 10:00am service is over. The nursery is located in the South Building (across the hallway from the main church).

EMMANUALS 137th ANNUAL MEETING UPDATE:The Annual Parish meeting for Emmanuel Episcopal Church, originally scheduled for Sunday, January 29, 2012, has been postponed. A new date will be announced later this week. The meeting date was changed because, for the first time in many years, there were more candidates than vacating Vestry positions, therefore resulting in a “contested election” situation. At least two of the candidates were unable to be at the meeting as originally scheduled so the Wardens and Rector thought it advisable to reschedule the meeting and allow parishioners time to get to know the candidates better through published information and a face-to-face “forum.” The Wardens are confirming the dates when all candidates can be present.

Following is the text of the statement offered to the parish by the Wardens on Sunday, January 22, 2012:

The Holy Spirit is clearly among us and working through us at Emmanuel. How do we know this?
For the first time in at least 10 years, we have 6 people running for 3 Vestry openings! You heard me right – rather than us having to go out and persuade some of our fellow parishioners to serve, Rob Ekroth, Beth Jacobs, Penny Longo, Louise Meyer, David Shallow and Laird Ueberroth have all put their names in the ring for the three open Vestry seats.
This is definitely good news for our parish as these are all excellent candidates with a history of serving this parish and other parishes in various roles.
Unfortunately, at least two of them are not able to attend the annual meeting scheduled for next week, and because this will be a contested election, the Wardens and Rev. Terri think it would be a good idea for the parish to have an opportunity and time to get to know these candidates who will spend the next three years on the Vestry and will take part in decisions that will shape the future of this parish.
For that reason, the Wardens and Rev. Terri have decided to postpone the annual meeting for a couple of weeks to allow us to schedule a “candidates forum” between Sunday services to allow interested parishioners to meet and get to better know these candidates and their reasons for wanting to serve on the Vestry.
As soon as new date for the annual meeting and the date for the candidate forum is finalized, we will get that info out to the parish.
