VIRTUAL EVENSONG PREMIERE!
It's a full Evensong, premiering January 17th at 7 p.m. on
YouTube for the feast of the Confession of St. Peter! Current video of lay readers, our rector and choirmaster, and performances by our organist, combine with archival choir recordings, drone footage, and artwork to produce a full 40-minute Rite 1 Evensong service. Set your reminder on the YouTube page, then
join us at 7 p.m. on the 17th to live chat during the premiere.
ANNUAL MEETING
Since we cannot gather in person this year, the 2021 Annual Meeting of Emmanuel Memorial Episcopal Church will take place via Zoom. As usual, we will celebrate our life in the year past, review the Vestry-approved 2021 Budget, elect Vestry members, Officers, and Synod delegates, and hear all such business as may properly come before the annual meeting of the parish. To make attendance as convenient as possible for all, the vestry has set the time for
7 p.m. on Wednesday January 27th.
The
Zoom link for this meeting is the same as for all our worship services, and will appear here every week leading up to the meeting. If you do not have a computer or smartphone, you may dial in from any ordinary phone. Dial 1-312-626-6799, and then enter Meeting ID: 208 217 0000 and Password: 61820
ANNUAL MEETING DOCUMENTS
Emmanuel's 2020 financial reports and Annual Report will be sent out in an all-parish email, as well as made available for download, before the meeting (
7 p.m. Wednesday January 27th on Zoom.) Relevant sections will be shared on the screen during the meeting as well. If you would like to receive a hard copy of either report via US Mail, please
contact Mary in the office.
VIDEO TEACHING SERIES
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what the word "god" actually means? Or what about "sin" or "gospel"? If you've ever found yourself wondering what these oft-used Christian words mean, then the upcoming video series from Emmanuel is for you! Join Marisa on Thursdays as she seeks out definitions of common Christian terms and asks questions of them that can lead to some exciting theological territory. And, if there's a term or a phrase that you've ever wondered about,
send Marisa an email. She may cover that next!
ZOOM WORSHIP SERVICES
As has been the case for several months, in addition to all our other video content and home worship materials, Emmanuel continues to offer two participatory Zoom services each week which you can access at our
usual worship service link -- Morning Prayer Sunday at 10 a.m. and Evening Prayer Wednesday at 5:15. Morning Prayer is also livestreamed on Facebook on Monday (Mother Beth) and Friday (Marisa) at 8 a.m, and can be viewed any time on our Facebook page if you miss it live.
CHURCH OFFICE CLOSED
The office will be closed Monday January 18th for the federal holiday celebrating Martin Luther King.
