Dear People of God at Emmanuel,

It has been a treat to see Emmanuel begin functioning in full swing

following the relatively quiet time of summer. Educational programming,

music rehearsals, additional worship times, and Wednesday night suppers

– it’s all up and running. And I continue to learn how we do things here at

Emmanuel. What a gifted congregation you are! I am so fortunate to be

among you.

Annual Financial Stewardship Campaign

Our Annual Financial Stewardship Campaign is off and running. You are

invited to partner with God and with this community of faith in carrying

out God’s work here in Webster Groves. Our goal is to have a total of

$660,000 pledged to fund ministry at Emmanuel in 2019. This is a 7%

increase over last year – an ambitious goal, but not an unattainable one.

To all of you, who have pledged in the past, thank you. If all of us

increase our pledge amount by 7%, we will easily hit our goal. If you have

never pledged, please consider it. No gift is too small. And every gift

matters. Please look for more information in your physical mailbox, the

Sunday bulletin inserts, and the weekly newsletter. Then prayerfully

consider accepting the invitation to partnership through your financial

contribution. We will collect pledge cards on Sunday, October 21. You

can also pledge by visiting our website.

Vestry Direction

One of the things Emmanuel was clear about when you called me was a

need to shape our call and vision for the next chapter in our lives together.

Your Vestry has begun some foundational work for discerning this. I have

asked them to read “Transforming Congregation Culture” by Anthony

Robison and we are discussing several chapters each month. The book is

about how 21st century, North American culture has shifted and how the

Church must re-examine the way we think and the way we do things if we

are to continue to be faithful to God’s call for us. It’s an important – and

very readable – book. If you’d like a copy, let me know and I will get one

for you. I invite you to join us in that reading and conversation.

At the Vestry meeting this month, I presented a list of Emmanuel’s hopes

and needs that I have heard from you. I compiled these from information

gathered at our small group meetings, one-on-one conversations, the vestry

itself, and the staff. I asked the vestry to choose three of these as priorities

for me to focus on for the last quarter of 2018. Not surprisingly, their first

choice was for me to focus on getting Emmanuel staffed for effective

ministry, and to find and call an Associate Rector.

FOOD CENTER REPORT

For the month of October the food center is asking for contributions of canned tuna and chicken to maintain our shelf

stock. Please consider a donation to assist those of our community in need.

Just drop them in the food basket as you enter the front doors in the narthex Sunday morning or place them in the food basket outside the Food Center on the pew under the parish bulletin board.

Many thanks to the following individuals for their generous gifts to the Food Center in September. Lyn Anthoney Charlotte Martin Dorothea Bean Bill & Rita Rundquist Peg Cooper Schnucks, Webster Groves Norita Cunningham Jamie Shannon Mary DeBenedetti Kerry Thacker Marylyn Keller Joanne Warren Roger & Fran Koch Jennie Werremeyer Thanks also to the many anonymous donors!

Their second choice was to focus on supporting and enhancing our Adult education opportunities. How we

are formed as disciples effects everything else we do. They are wise to recognize this. Finally, the vestry

asked me to focus on helping us all answer the question “Why are we here?” This will be foundational for

understanding our call to this time and in this place.

So why are we here? For what reason does Emmanuel exist? Over the next months we will be exploring

some helpful sources as we come to an answer to that question. Scripture will guide us. Our tradition of

faith and the Book of Common Prayer will lead as well. We’ll explore both the 21st century context and the

Webster Groves context. We’ll talk about church size and how that effects our expectations of each other

and of the clergy. We won’t find the answers to all these things in three months, but the vestry has set this

as a priority, laying significant ground work for the future.

Asking that “Why” question can be frightening. Because maybe we’re not sure if we will like how we

answer it. For example, I am married to my husband Peter for a lot of reasons. I love him and have since

we met. He is a quality human being. He understands me and my sense of humor. He is the father of my

children. He’s an excellent cook. We have a long history together. We share values. The list goes on and

on. But, if you asked me that question and all I could say was “He feeds me dinner”, that would force me to

face the fact that our relationship was pretty empty.

I have a strong suspicion that as we ask ourselves “Why are we here?”, we may find some places where

that answer isn’t what we’d like it to be. But I know you well enough at this point to also suspect we will

find all sorts of depth and beauty, all sorts of ways you love God and want to love God more, all sorts of

ways you serve God in each other and in your neighbor and ways you want to be faithful in that. And those

answers will give us joy and shape our lives together moving forward. I also know that one reason we are

here is because Emmanuel is God’s church, which God loves and keeps. Fear not! We’ve got this (or,

rather, God does)!

Faithfully,

New Vestry Appointee

The Vestry has appointed Davis Allen to fulfill the unexpired term of Dick

Clark. Davis and Penny and their grown sons, James and Daniel, have been

at Emmanuel since 1994. You've seen or heard Davis in choir, as a lector a

chalice bearer, at Men's Bible Study, in Play Readers, and as hilarious

preacher, The Rev. Throckmorton, in Mardi Gras!

Davis owns Age at Home Care, a client focused registry of home compan-

ion caregivers. He is indeed a man of many talents! Thank you, Davis for

adding Vestry to your list of involvement at Emmanuel!

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

As you now have read, The Rev. Melanie Slane has accepted a call to the Episcopal Church of the Re-

deemer in Cincinnati, Ohio, and the Rev. Chris Slane is pursuing ministry and educational opportuni-

ties there as well. Melanie, Chris, Teil and Arlo’s last Sunday with us will be Sunday, October 28.

The leadership and pastoral support Chris and Melanie have provided, especially during Emmanuel’s

transition time, have been particularly helpful and we are grateful to them for it. During the coming

weeks we will have the opportunity, both individually and as a community, to say goodbye to them,

and to express our appreciation for all they have done.

Melanie has had primary responsibility for our children’s formation programming and has built that

program into a true strength here at Emmanuel. She has organized our Lay Eucharistic Visitors so that

those who cannot be with us on Sunday remain connected to us by the sacrament. Chris has led us to

welcome and integrate newcomers, supported our Adult Forum, and led Education For Ministry,

equipping the saints for ministry. Both have shared in the celebration of Holy Eucharist, in preaching

the Good News of God in Christ, and in caring for the congregation through pastoral visits, rites, and

friendships. They are both very talented, gifted priests and Cincinnati will be a better place for their

presence there. I am excited for Melanie and Chris as a new expression of their ministries opens up

before them.

I have been in contact with Bishop Wayne Smith and Canon Joe Chambers to begin planning for addi-

tional clergy support as we search for a permanent Associate Rector to join Emmanuel in ministry.

This process will be greatly simplified compared to the rector search Emmanuel undertook to bring me

here. We will, however, cast a very wide net so we can call the person whose gifts and experience fit

Emmanuel’s call at this time and in this place.

Please join me in expressing hearty congratulations to Chris and Melanie as we bless and send them

forth from Emmanuel.

Faithfully,

The Rev. Jenny Hulen

Please welcome Theresa Grumke to the staff as Financial Assistant! Theresa

part-time and will handle all the accounts payable/receivable, assist with data input, statements, and

This is the major fund raiser for the Rotary Club of Webster

Groves, with proceeds going to support many local projects,

Choose Lunch (11:00 to 1:00) or Dinner (4:00 to 8:00)...you will not leave hungry!

This year's official Rotary International theme is Be the Inspiration with Rotary.... a worthy goal, to say

the least. Come support our efforts!

Please respond by phone, 314-960-0560, or email, [email protected], to Ann, and I’ll hold your
