2018 ADVENT PREPARATION

Sunday, December 2, begins Advent and new liturgical year in

the Church. It is also a time to be quiet, to reflect and to

prepare. This time of year can become a frenzy, and it’s easy to

lose our way. Below are some ways to prepare our hearts to

welcome Christ this Advent at Emmanuel!

Advent Giving Tree and Soup Supper—Sunday, December 2

in the morning you can pick up a gift request ornament tag. Or

come to the 5:30 p.m. service, which is a smaller, quieter

service then, stay for soup and grab an ornament.

Men’s Bible Study— as we begin Advent, all men are urged to

attend and begin a personal journey of preparation. This group

meets over coffee and breakfast every Thursday at 7:00 a.m. at

St. Louis Bread Co in Old Webster, or just come at 7:30 for the

half-hour discussion. Then you’ll be on your way with all sorts

of ideas! No registration, no commitment, no pressure. For

questions, call (or text!) Davis Allen at 314-374-0075. Or just

come any Thursday morning!

Advent Class—Thursday evenings starting November 28 and

going through December 20 meet at 6:00 p.m. Using the book

Preparing for Christmas by Richard Rohr, The Rev. Jenny Hu-

len will explore ways to reflect on how the readings help go

deeper spiritually during this season of waiting and preparation.

Please sign up online or call the office at 314-961-2393 to

register. If you are unable to attend the class, you may still

want to get the book!

Advent Wreath Lighting—At the 9:00 a.m. service during

each of the four Sundays of Advent we will light the Advent

Wreath before beginning the worship service. Each week we

will do that after the processional hymn. If you, your family or

you and a friend would like to participate in lighting the wreath,

please let the office know by calling 314-961-2393 or email mshipp@emmanuelepiscopal.org.

December 2018 Angelus Vol. 53, No. 04– November 28, 2018 Page 2

Continued from page 1

Singing the Psalm—also at the 9:00 a.m. service during Advent, we will be singing the

Psalm each week. See page 4 for more detail. Singing the psalm is done frequently during

Advent, as are Lesson and Carol services. It is a time to prepare, but also a time to rejoice

with our voices!

Advent III—Sunday, December 16 we will change to two morning services (8 & 10

a.m.). At the 10 a.m. service our children, readers and adult choir will lead us reading and

singing as we do Lessons and Carols in the context of the Holy Eucharist. After that

service everyone is invited to join us for Miss Carol’s Brunch in the dining room. See

page 7. Also on December 16 we will offer a Blue Christmas service. See page 3.

Advent Calendars—you know about them as being for kids, right? Or maybe you know

about the ones for kids at Trader Joe’s or the adult Wine one’s at Aldi’s (all sold out!).

But, do you know about the ones at Emmanuel? Slow down. Quiet. It’s Advent….not the

typical message this time of year. Wait! Yes, it is. These Advent Calendars are in the

dining room and in the narthex. These calendars can be colored in, or you can simply

read alone or with your family. Some examples are: Friday, December 7—-”Today, be of

service to someone in need. See Christ in that person. Maybe that’s what it means to wait

for the Lord.” Tuesday, December 18—”Does silence make you uneasy? Sit with it.

Settle into it. You may find you’re more balanced and centered. You may find your

prayer runs deeper!

We hope you all take time to prepare during Advent this year!

Put this on your calendar

NOW!! Senior High Youth

December 2018 Angelus Page 3 Vol. 53 No. 04— November 28, 2018

DECEMBER In-Gathering We will collect gifts that will benefit

Episcopal City Mission

Nurses for Newborns

Webster-Rock Hill Ministries Holiday Baskets

Venture into the dining room Sunday, December 2 to pick

up a gift request ornament from the Giving Tree. On the

back of each ornament is a suggested gift. Please deliver the unwrapped gift, with the ornament

tag attached, and place under the tree. Gift cards are to be deposited into the mail box that is also

under the tree! Please return all gifts by Friday, December 14. The agencies need time to pick up

and assemble before donating at their various holiday events. Thank you!

GIVING TREE ALSO MEANS ADVENT SOUP SUPPER

Sunday, December 2 at 6:30 p.m. Yes, last week we told you there would not be a soup supper, we didn’t have chefs lined up. But,

never fear, Pam Penrose and Rudy Walz stepped up to cook. The menu will be:

Cheesy potato soup

Chili

Chicken noodle soup

French bread, homemade cornbread

Brownies for dessert!

We ask that you please bring fresh fruit to share! Jr. High Youths will setup and serve the meal as

part of their service hours required for the Mission trip next summer. Come share a meal and pick

up a gift request

Blue Christmas Service

For those experiencing grief, loss or hardship, the Christmas season is far from the

most wonderful time of the year. Typical holiday festivities—merry carol singing,

decorating, gathering with family and purchasing gifts—emphasize joy and cheer,

leaving little room for pain and grief.

In response, some churches offer special services leading up to Christmas that

accommodate those for whom the season is trying and difficult. These services,

called Blue Christmas or Longest Night services, emphasize the pain of loss felt by

many at this time of year, and offer a somber, gentle space to gather. Symbolically,

many of these services are held on or around December 21, the date of the winter

solstice, the longest night of the year.

Emmanuel will offer a Blue Christmas service on Advent III, Sunday, December 23 at the 5:30 p.m.

service. This service is open to anyone, feel free to share with your friends and family.

Belles of Christmas Brunch and Auction Saturday, December 1, 10:00 a.m.

Think we are rushing Christmas? We are! The first weekend of Advent is the annual Belles of Christmas Brunch and Auction. If you are looking for vintage, handmade, white elephant or a way to start off the holiday season, then you need to know about Belles! The meal is free….but...the treasures are not!

When: Saturday December 1, 2018 10:00 A.M.

Where: Emmanuel Dining Room

What: Bring a few dollars for a fun raffle and silent auction. Eat a delicious brunch and support a great cause. Money raised will go to Webster-Rock Hill Ministries specifically designated for assistance with utilities.

Let us know you’re coming….RSVP on Emmanuel’s website. If interested please contact Laura Buffington or Evelyn Archer.

Family and friends are welcome!

Come into the dining room Sunday, December 2 & 9 to purchase homemade jars of jams

and marmalades.

Proceeds benefit Jr. High Mission Trip. These “little bits of happiness” make great

teacher gifts, stocking stuffers, or neighbor gifts! Hurry, they run out fast!!

Singing the Psalm during Advent

When we sing the Psalm during Advent, we will be using a

Simplified Anglican Chant setting (S-411 if you happen to have a

hymnal at home.) “Simplified” meaning that the number of chord

changes is reduced and the music required to get through the text is

shorter. There are no complex syllable decisions to make, there are

only 8 total chords in the entire chant. It’s notated in four parts and

was intended to be sung that way. But, like a hymn, it is just fine to

sing the melody (the top-most pitch.) The text is supposed to be sung

in the same rhythm as you would read it together. This is a tall order

and should be thought of as an eventual goal; often as one gets used to doing this the syllables might go a

bit slower than in conversational speech. But ideally there should be no artificial slowing-down or

stretching of syllables near or at the changing note.

One of the most common remarks of guests who attend Emmanuel (guest organists included) has been that

the congregation “really sings.” So we felt that singing the Psalm was an expectation well within the realm

December 2018 Angelus Page 5 Vol. 53 No. 04— November 28, 2018

Advent Wreath Lighting

At the 9:00 am services on December 2, 9, and

at the 10:00 am services on December 16 & 23

We will light the Advent Wreath at the beginning of the service, after the

processional hymn. Each week a different group of people will read a short

prayer and we will sing one verse of O Come Emmanuel.

Arrive on time, come into the warm, cozy nave to help us welcome Advent!

9th ANNUAL MISS CAROL’S BRUNCH

FOR THE HOMELESS

Following the 10:00 a.m. service Sunday, December 16

Carol Bledsoe was one of a kind. She was the friendly face at church on Sunday that always made you feel

welcome. She believed the best in people, and this was evident in her work. Carol was a member of

Emmanuel and also parish administrator at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown St. Louis. Through her

work, Carol constantly saw the many needs of the homeless that sought shelter and help at the Cathedral.

Whether it was buying gloves, finding a resource, or just listening to their stories, she would do her best to

meet their needs. Eventually, Carol convinced a local doughnut shop to donate their day old product, and a

daily breakfast club for the homeless was created. It was called “Club Cathedral.” She soon became known

as “Miss Carol,” a trusted friend of the homeless.

On December 19, 2002, Carol was tragically killed outside f her office by a homeless man she had once

helped. The next year, “Ms. Carol’s Christmas Brunch for the Homeless” was created. Originally, this

brunch was served at the Cathedral for the homeless that Carol cared so deeply for. It was a way to

remember Carol and continue her important mission.

For 6 years, the Emmanuel youth group and members of Christ Church helped at the brunch for the

homeless in honor of Carol. We continue that tradition to honor Carol with our own brunch to raise money

for the Miss Carol homeless breakfast program at the Cathedral that is held every Saturday of the year.

Festival Flower and Music Offering At Christmas, a special opportunity is made available for us at Emmanuel to

Guild to adorn the church with greenery and poinsettias for the Christmas ser-

vices, and are also used to underwrite the cost of the special music. Festival

Flower & Music Offering envelopes are in the pews, and a letter containing an

envelope is being mailed explaining Festival Flower & Music Offering.

Christ Church CathedralHANGING OF THE GREENS

Sunday, December 23, 2018

The fourth Sunday in Advent, after the 10:00 a.m. service we will

decorate the church for Christmas. This is something organized by

altar guild members, but done by us all! Come hang wreaths, roping

and bows inside and outside. Up high and down low!

We need a few good folks to get on ladders to hang some of the

higher wreaths. The greenery and bows will be in the chapel, labeled

where they go. This is a great activity for families to do….and it’s not

like decorating the tree at home, where all of sudden, you’re alone!

This is a true “village” event and it is worth any time spent doing it!

Anyone can help!

Would you like a different perspective (or seat!) for

worship?

Said another way, would you like to be a Liturgical Participant?

Maybe you’d like to do a scripture reading on Sunday; or

perhaps you would like to read the Sunday intercessions? Or

maybe you would like to usher and greet people on Sundays.

Maybe you interested in being a chalice bearer or Eucharistic

visitor? Are you interested in being a minister of ceremonies?

All of these positions are available to persons who wish to be

more engaged in Sunday worship. And all skills are taught to you by either the liturgical leader or a

member of the clergy. We engage liturgical participants for all Sunday morning worship services and

occasionally for funerals and weddings.

The Episcopal liturgy is special is enhanced by having a variety of people Currently, Emmanuel has over

100 volunteers who provide everything from acolyting to minister of ceremonies. Volunteers are not

limited to adults, school students are encouraged to participate as well. We use a database (with an app!)

for scheduling. Each volunteer has their own profile and can plug in dates you are unavailable and even

swap if your schedule changes. If you are interested, please let the office know by December 19 as we will

have a new liturgical schedule coming out the end of December. Call 314-961-2393 and speak to Mimi or

email mshipp@emmaneulepiscopal.org.
