Ways to Connect
  Giving Ministries Volunteer

New to Emmanuel? Please connect with us:

Fill out a blue card found in the pews, and
       put it in the offering plate, or
       give it to the vestry greeter outside the Parish Hall.
Join us for refreshments in the Parish Hall.
Speak to the priest or warden after the service.
Email us.
Prayer Requests: If you would like us to join in prayer for someone or if you have a special need, thanksgiving or concern to be included in Prayers of the People, bring your request before worship to the sacristy (as you face the altar in the sanctuary, its door is on the left). We also pass along to the Prayer Team requests for prayers to be continued through the week.

Volunteer Opportunities

Coffee Hour: Donations of food are needed for Coffee Hour. Be one of the 4 people who brings food each Sunday. Your donation does not have to be homemade. Twenty cookies or slices of coffee cake, a bowl of fruit, or cheese and crackers would do. If you drop off your donation in the kitchen before the service, the sexton will do the rest! Please sign up on the clipboard at Coffee Hour or contact Barbara Oder if you could help.

Fun Raising: Please join us on May 11 & June 1 in the Emmanuel Room after Coffee Hour to brainstorm about how Emmanuelites might have some more fun together in the coming months.

Green Team: We are preparing to landscape Emmanuel's frontage on Newbury Street. We welcome anyone who can help with design, soliciting donations of landscaping services, preparing the beds, planting, and maintenance of our garden. Please contact Nancy Mueller or email us for more information.

Hospice Care: Volunteers are need to visit with patients for an hour a week. The end of life can be a lonely time or a time filled with reminiscence, laughter and peace. Please call West River Care at 781-707-9586 and ask for Alice Hutter, Volunteer Coordinator.

History & Archives: We are looking for memories, photographs, and newspaper announcements from couples married at Emmanuel, members of wedding parties and their families. As we've found it fun and instructive to talk with visitors and parishioners, we are interested in your recollections. Please contact our Parish Historian, Mary Chitty.

Join a Commission.

Other Opportunities: If you're interested in volunteering for a short-term or ongoing activity, please contact Penny Lane, chair of the Volunteer Commission, who will match your skills and wishes with Emmanuel's needs. Please email her if you could help or if you want to enlist others for a project.

Giving Opportunities

Craig Smith Memorial Fund
Our vestry has established a fund in collaboration with Emmanuel Music to create a memorial to Craig Smith, the nature of which has yet to be determined.  Please send your donations to Emmanuel Church or place a check in the offering plate with the notation "Craig Smith Memorial".  Thank you.
