Celebrate Mass on the Grass Here Sunday, August 15 Emmaus will celebrate "Mass on the Grass" Sunday, August 15 at 10:00 a.m. Weather permitting, we will gather for a special worship service with Holy Communion out on the lawn. After the worship service, there will be a pot luck lunch with burgers, hot dogs and sodas provided. We will have some chairs set up, but we encourage those who are able to bring their own lawn chairs. You may want to bring a parasol as well. Dress casually. Bring a friend. Come for a time of worship and fellowship, fun and food.
Regular Saturday worship will be held in the Sunset Room at 5:00 p.m. August 14.
Jhon Freddy to Be Ordained Here July 10 Jhon Freddy Correa will be ordained as a pastor of the ELCA at a 1:00 p.m. service at Emmaus on Saturday, July 10. A reception on the lawn will follow the service. The Rev. Vitor Westhelle, Professor at the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, will be the guest preacher, and Bishop Jeff Barrow will officiate at the rite of ordination. While the majority of the worship service will be in English, there will be portions of the liturgy and the music offered in Spanish. We will not have our usual 5:00 p.m. worship service on July 10 because of the ordination service.
The 2010 Altar Flower sign-up sheets are posted on the bulletin board outside the church office. We’ll print a dedication from each altar flower sponsor in Saturday and Sunday bulletins. The secretary will phone or e-mail you in the week before your Sunday to ask how you would like the dedication worded.
We offer the opportunity for two households to sponsor either one of the two altar arrangements each Sunday. The cost is still $20.00 per arrangement.
Thanks to a generous donation from Bea Helding, a “loop system” to enhance the transmission of sound in our sanctuary has now been installed. The loop, installed July 15 and 16, encircles the nave of the church, and is connected to our sound system. The magnetic field around the wire channels sound waves into the sound system, which sends a signal which can be picked up on any hearing aid device. Normally, a hearing aid “listens” with its microphone, then amplifies every sound it picks up. But with a telecoil used as the input source instead of the microphone, the hearing aid can “hear” a magnetic signal which represents sound. The major advantage of a using a telecoil is that one can turn off one’s normal hearing aid microphone, and thus limit the sound to that magnetic signal.
By selecting “T-coil” or “telecoil” on one’s hearing aid, one can now hear more clearly – not merely louder -- persons speaking directly into microphones, and also the organ, piano, and singers.
