Dear Friends of Emmanuel,

Emmanuel Church live services are suspended for the foreseeable future. Any updates from the diocese or Presiding Bishop Michael Curry will be posted on the website and sent by email.

– Joyce’s sermon for this Sunday, March 22 will be on our website by Sunday night, as usual.  We continue to consider other options. We will let you know about these as we move forward.

–Many churches in our Episcopal diocese are live-streaming services. We encourage you to choose one from the link below and attend virtually.

These are conducted with no in-person worshipers. Only one or two people are in attendance to serve or help with the technology. These services can indeed be a deeply moving spiritual experience and strengthen our collective faith as we continue to be united by God’s word.

–Other faith communities have also suspended services.  Read the story in the March 19 edition of the Bulletin newspapers. Joyce’s picture is on the front page:  https://bulletinnewspapers.weebly.com/uploads/1/1/4/8/114832579/wr_ros_bulletin_pages_1_to_16__19march2020.pdf

Take care of yourselves. Pray for all affected by this health emergency.

In Christ,

John and Susan, Wardens
