The path to do so is clear, and it is obvious to everyone when that change has happened and is successful. Technical change is often something that can happen in a relatively short period of time. An example of a technical change, problem, or fix is open heart surgery. It is very clear what the problem is. We call in a surgeon who has all the specialized tools and experience to bypass the blocked artery. He or she does so, and the heart works well again. I used to marvel at the open-hear t patients I worked with. Even with all the pain they were feeling from the surgery, many of them told me they felt better right away. The heart was fixed. Adaptive change, on the other hand, is murkier. The causes of an issue are multifaceted, hidden, or unknown. There aren’t experts to call in, and the way through isn’t clear. As a result, all the resources of a group (or church) need to think and talk about it in different ways and from a number of perspectives. The path involves lots of experiments and some of them fail. But we learn and apply what we learn to our next run at it. This work takes a longer time. It requires deeper focus and more flexibility. An example of an adaptive change, problem or fix would be that same person exploring their lifestyle. What foods do they eat? Are they physically active? What’s their genetic make-up? What people are encouragers and helpers to them? Adaptive change recognizes that there are entire systems at work to help this person be healthy – or not.

From the Rector Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Alleluia! Christ is risen! What a beautiful, meaningful, and joyful Holy Week and Easter we have just shared. Thank you to all our musicians, lectors, altar guild members, pray-ers who stayed up Thursday night, staff members, and everyone who gave so generously of your time and energy to lead us in these worship experiences.
I left church on Easter Sunday both exhausted and exhilarated. The exhaustion was no mystery. But I found myself considering why I felt so full and happy. Maybe that’s obvious, too. Because Easter, right? Excellent music, beautiful sanctuary, flowers, people, family – all that is lovely about a holiday. I noticed, though, that my exhilaration was about something else. I realized on my way home that I was saying to myself, “That is why we gather”. Our time together wasn’t about a particular project or group at church. It wasn’t raising money for the mission trip. It wasn’t even dinner. All those things are beautiful and good. But they pale by comparison to simply being together and celebrating that God is God and we are God’s beloved people. “See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are.” (1 John 3:1a) What an unspeakable gift!
There’s change, and then there’s change…
Many of you may be familiar with the organizational work done by Ron Heifetz around change. Heifetz’ work classifies change into two broad categories – technical and adaptive. Technical changes are very clear. There are experts who have the technical skills to fix things. The path to do so is clear, and it is obvious to everyone when that change has happened and is successful. Technical change is often something that can happen in a relatively short period of time. An example of a technical change, problem, or fix is open heart surgery. It is very clear what the problem is. We call in a surgeon who has all the specialized tools and experience to bypass the blocked artery. He or she does so, and the heart works well again. I used to marvel at the open-hear t patients I worked with. Even with all the pain they were feeling from the surgery, many of them told me they felt better right away. The heart was fixed.
Adaptive change, on the other hand, is murkier. The causes of an issue are multifaceted, hidden, or unknown. There aren’t experts to call in, and the way through isn’t clear. As a result, all the resources of a group (or church) need to think and talk about it in different ways and from a number of perspectives. The path involves lots of experiments and some of them fail. But we learn and apply what we learn to our next run at it. This work takes a longer time. It requires deeper focus and more flexibility. An example of an adaptive change, problem or fix would be that same person exploring their lifestyle. What foods do they eat? Are they physically active? What’s their genetic make-up?

Continued from page 1
Heifetz says knowing what kind of an issue you have on your hands is key to finding the right and lasting solution. An adaptive change applied to a technical problem is disastrous. Our patient above would not have survived had the Emergency Department crew been dietitians and encouragers. A technical change applied to an adaptive situation is useful – often necessary – in the short run. But the real issue goes unaddressed. In fact one sign that you have an adaptive problem on your hands is that you keep applying technical solutions and nothing changes.
Most of the change in our lives as Christians is adaptive. Jesus didn’t come into the world, live, die and rise again so that we would behave well. He did all those things so that our lives could be transformed. Similarly, most of the change in the Church is adaptive – and I speak both broadly about the Church in twenty-first-century North America and specifically about Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Webster Groves. For example, we want to welcome newcomers to Emmanuel. That sounds like a technical fix, right? So we wear our nametags. We print a full-service bulletin. We have great gift bags and delicious bread. All really good and necessary stuff in my book. And yet our new memberships have stayed relatively steady over time. None of these technical changes have ushered in a season of increasingly more new folks. What if we look at this issue adaptively? We would need to ask harder questions with murkier answers. What are we welcoming our neighbors to? Why do we want new people to join us? Are we enough even if they don’t come? What will be different when they do come and how do we feel about that? Vandersall Collective Report
As you may remember, The Vandersall Collective facilitated our staff and vestry retreat in February. Last week they presented their report to the staff, vestry, and me. I wish I could say they delivered a list of technical fixes we could implement in our common life. I wish I could say we could check off those boxes and wrap up our sense of call and vision for the future in the three months. They did not. Instead, they have recommended some adaptive work. Your staff, and I are processing the report, prayerfully considering it, and will have more word for you soon. I notice, that Vandersall is recommending we take a much more courageous route. One that I suspect will involve some anxiety and frustration, as many adaptive changes do. One that I suspect will also bring us incredible joy and life.
This is not a quick or simple path, my friends. But I know we are up to it. I know this, first of all, because this is God’s church – not yours or mine. And God loves and keeps it. I know this, additionally, because after almost a year as your Rector I know and see you. You are brave, beloved, fully-gifted-and-equipped-for-ministry children of God. Are we perfect? No. Are we, by the grace of God, enough? I know in my bones we are.
I have told you before that Emmanuel is on the threshold of something beautiful. So let’s all grab hands and step into that murky, adaptive, glorious, frightening and faithful something together. Faithfully,
We are migrating to a new online giving vendor this week. That means the link at the bottom of our home page will go away. It will be replaced by a new link (see below). This change will allow online giving to be integrated into our database, making things easier for us and better for you! Both icons are on our website, please use the NEW one. We will take down the old one May 2nd! Just like now, you will need to set up an account, you can do that by clicking on the image online at www.emmanuelepiscopal.org. In the meantime, our Assistant Treasurer, Theresa Grumke, can answer any questions you may have. Email her at [email protected] or call her at 314.961.2393 x210. Theresa is in the office Monday through Thursday 9 a. m.—2 p.m..

SUNDAY ADULT FORUM & UPCOMING
MISSION TRIPS Christian Education will resume on May 5 with We Stories.
Change begins when We Stories challenges “White
Families” to re-think race and their role in our segregated
region. Change takes hold when new habits become normal
and are passed down to the next generation. Change gains
traction when these families use their new awareness and skills to take action, generating new support
for change-making efforts.
Community members from Deaconess Anne House will be here May 12. Deaconess Anne
House (DAH) is a member of the Episcopal Service Corp, a national network of intentional
communities in the Episcopal Church. Individual programs are unique, but all are marked
by serving others in solidarity, promoting justice in community, deepening spiritual
awareness and vocational discernment, and living simply in intentional Christian community. They
will update on their work in the community this past year.
May 19 will be the last Adult Forum for the program year. The children of FaithQuest will
present what they learned this year. Also on May 19, during the 9:00 a.m. service we will have Sr.
Recognition and Commissioning of Missioners.
Sr. Recognition is where those graduating from high school will provide a shor t goodbye to us
and tell us of their plans as they leave youth group and high school.
Commissioning of missioners is a time of prayer and sending for all adults and youth who will
head out on mission trips this summer:
Adults will head to Rosebud Reservation in Mission, SD. June 1-8. They will work and suppor t
ministries important to the local Native American community. Adults go as servants; not to impose
our ideas of what ‘they’ should be doing to help themselves but ready to support and work alongside
them in whatever way are making a difference in their community. This work include White Buffalo
Calf Society, the first domestic violence shelter for Native American women in the country. Native
American women are more than twice as likely to experience sexual assault and domestic violence as
women in the general population, and domestic violence continues to be epidemic on the reservation.
Senior High Youth will head to Chicago Jun 2-9 for their “urban” mission trip to work at The
Boulevard Homeless Shelter is a place for those recovering from illness or injury.
Junior High Youth will head to Poplar Bluff, Missouri June 13-16 for their “rural” mission trip.
They will be working and helping Church of the Holy Cross in Poplar Bluff, and St. Paul’s Sikeston.
These small communities are exited to welcome our youth!
Peace Meal We need volunteers to help with the Peace Meal at St. John’s Tower Grove on Saturday, May 11 from 2-6 p.m. There are generally two shifts: 2-4 and 4-6. We need 4-6 volunteers at any one time. We work alongside members of St. John’s who plan the meal. The 2-4 shift will prep the food, set tables and make ready for guests. The guests from the neighborhood arrive at 4:30 p.m. The 4-6 shift refills the line and helps clean up. This volunteer meal happens every week, and is invaluable to the Tower Grove

THE ANATOMY OF A RUMMAGE SALE!
The backbone to any rummage sale is having great items offered for sale! Things that really sell are vintage clothing, handbags, jewelry and tablecloths; furniture, kids toys, golf clubs, collectibles and books. Whatever you donate will either be sold or donated after the sale. There’s no asking for it back!
Second is a cadre of organized volunteers to sort by category, price to sell, assist customers, take money, clean up after the sale, support the youth in their work and generally work together for a cause! To sign up to help, please visit: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0f4babae22abfa7-emmanuel
Third is people to buy what is being sold. Duh! We will have an ad in the Webster Kirkwood Times and there are flyers around town. Take a flyer to the local antique mall or store you like! If you know people who like garage sales….this is for them! It’s better then a garage sale…..because it’s a whole village sale!
Don’t forget to sign up for Vacation Bible School by Sunday May 26!
May 29-31 (9-noon each day) See flyer on page 7 for details.

ABOUT THE PARISH FAMILY
Monthly Collection Drive
During May we will collect items for several groups at Rosebud Reservation. Our Adult Missioners leave Saturday, June 1 for Mission, South Dakota, and they will take the items with them.
White Buffalo Calf Woman Society Shelter. The White Buffalo Calf Woman Society provides services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence and stalking. They need:
shampoo, deodorant, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, and diapers
for their inventory for emergency requests. Please purchase the diapers in the PLASTIC versus cardboard containers. They weigh less and are easier to transport!
Harvest Winds needs 1/4 yard or more of COTTON fabric. Harvest Winds is a unique local ministry designed to provide job opportunities and work experience in one of the most economically depressed areas of the country. Using the traditional Lakota “Star Quilt” Pattern, women sew and sell these quilts on line. Please no scraps or donated clothing!
Emmanuel Women’s Book Club Will meet Monday May 20th, which is a week earlier than usual because of Memorial Day. At our May meeting we will be discussing We Were the Lucky Ones by Georgia Hunter. That is the last book we have on our schedule, so we will also be selecting our next books to read at the May meeting.
