Good news from the Lilly Endowment!
-
The Lilly Endowment recently announced 147 recipients of grants in the 13th round of its National Clergy Renewal Program, and Emmanuel Church is on the list! This program enables congregations to support their pastors for an extended time of renewal and reflection, allowing them time to step back from their busy lives and gain fresh perspective and renewed energy for ministry.
We have received a grant for almost $50K for Spring 2013 to provide for a three-month sabbatical for our rector, Pamela Werntz, and renewal activities for the parish. We give thanks for all who made this possible.

Our Sesquicentennial
-
The first service of Emmanuel Church was held at the Mechanics Association Hall in September, 1860, its cornerstone was laid in June, 1861, and its sanctuary was consecrated on April 24, 1862. We commenced our jubliee in 2010, with the Rt. Rev. M. Thomas Shaw celebrating Holy Eucharist and Ryan Turner conducting the first cantata of his tenure as music director. See the Fall 2010 issue of Voices for images and quotes from that glorious day. We hope you can join us during this final year of our sesquicentennial.
