WEAR RED FOR PENTECOST!
The feast of Pentecost will be celebrated both Sunday May 23 (with the Baptism of Pepper Crofts) and Wednesday May 26. Don't forget to wear something red in honor of the Fire of the Holy Spirit!


SIGN UP FOR MASS!
The capacity at both Masses is now 40 people, with RSVPs still required. The 10 a.m. Sunday and 5:15 p.m. Wednesday online services require no RSVP and have a capacity of 100. When worshipping in person, thank you for being mindful of maintaining safe distance, and looking around you to make sure you are choosing a location that is not too close to others.


SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
This week workers have been on the flat Mowry roof installing the solar panels we announced at Annual Meeting; this exciting project is funded by an anonymous donor plus a grant from Faith in Place. We are thrilled to be able to witness to God's care for our environment while also saving on our utility bills. Watch for information on a celebration and blessing event.


WELCOME PAUL COEY!
On May 30, Trinity Sunday, our guest Deacon at Mass will be the Rev. Paul Coey, whom many will remember as a former lay leader of our 20s-30s ministry as well as a recipient of a Herbst Scholarship whom Emmanuel commissioned for hospital chaplaincy. A native of C-U, Deacon Paul now serves as a transitional deacon in the Diocese of Fond du Lac and the Chaplain at SSM Health there.


SUMMER GATHERINGS?
A few summers running, Emmanuel held small outdoor grill parties at members’ homes, all on the same day. Perhaps 8 different hosts welcomed mixed groups of parishioners to their backyards and provided a main grill item, while others brought side dishes and desserts. We called it the Emmanuel Grillfest. This model is very Covid-friendly, and something like it might be worth reviving for summer 2021, if there are a couple of parishioners who value community and hospitality enough to be willing to take on organizing the overall event. Speak with any of the pastoral staff if this is you!
