Emmanuel Episcopal Church

This Sunday, August 1st is Reverend Peter Mayer’s last Sunday with Emmanuel Church. Our parish is hosting a farewell party for Peter and his family in thanks for his 5 years of service at Emmanuel. The party will be a pot luck brunch and will be held following the 10 am service in the Parish hall. Join us in saying good bye to Peter and wishing him well in his future plans.

The prevalence of hunger in the State of Rhode Island has reached a 10 year high. Did you know each month there are more than 50,000 Rhode Islanders seeking food assistance through the Food Bank’s network of 285 member agencies?

During the month of July we are collecting Dried and canned soups for the St. James Food Pantry. Donations may be dropped off in the baskets located at each entrance to the Church.

If you are in need or know of someone in need of Food Assistance there is information on the RI Community Food Bank’s web site on food pantries, meal sites, supplemental programs and food stamps.
