We'll have a normal big "It's Homecoming, and the year is starting, and Fr Randy is back from Sabbatical" picnic in September, but most of our teenagers start school before we start the program year... so if you're back from vacation and want to see some of your church friends before classes and sports start and your life gets super chaotic, come to the 10:30 service on Sunday, August 21st, and stay after where the EYC is taking over coffee hour to do a part-pizza-party-part-brunch-mostly-excuse-to-hang-out!
Acolytes assist the clergy at the Altar. At Immanuel, this ministry is open to both youth and adults, so everyone is invited to a partial Acolyte training with Fr Sam on Sunday August 28th at Immanuel Chapel, or Sunday September 4th at Zabriskie Chapel. After the 10:30 service we’ll go to coffee hour as normal and then meet back in the chapel and go over some of the things acolytes do, why they do those things, and which things are ‘required’ vs ‘things this particular parish does.’
If you’re an acolyte, you should join us. If you think you might be willing to serve (very occasionally, but definitely don’t want to get roped in), you should join us. If you’re sure you are never going to acolyte but you are curious what it is they’re doing up there, you should join us!! The Facilities Committee is delighted to report that as of Tuesday, 7 June the solar panel array at the Zabriskie campus is up and running.
It has been almost three years to the day that the idea of a major project to mark our contribution to helping the environment was born. Many thanks to the donors whose gifts helped bring the effort to fruition. As has been previously reported, the cost of the array and accompanying infrastructure and roof preparation was accomplished outside of the church's annual budget. We project that the array will provide two-thirds of Zabriskie's annual electrical requirements, saving the parish approximately $6,500 per year. You can click here to monitor the array output. Tired of cash, checks and plastic? Wondering why there isn't an app for that? There is! TITHE.LY makes giving to Immanuel's mission and ministries online or from your tablet or smartphone easy.
