On Friday, June 11, American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life will take place at Tucker Field in Cumberland.  Cancer has affected many in our community, and on their behalf, here’s a chance to fight back.  Join Team Barbara to support the fight against breast cancer.  But don’t just do it for Barbara and her family.  Do it for the dozens of people we gather with each week who are winning their fights against this disease, and those who are currently in need of hope in their recovery.

On June 6, we will party, Parish Picnic-style.  You’re all invited.  We start the shindig in worship, then we’ll all spill outside and grill, eat, drink and revel.  In the coming weeks, we’ll put up a poster where you can tell us what potluck goodies you will bring to share: salads, desserts and beverages.  Seeing the stuff that others bring will not only make you hungry, it may make you appreciate Communion that much more.  Rain date is June 13, when we will not only start the festivities with worship, but we’ll end it all with the Blessing of the Bikes in the parking lot.

Join us for Easter Sunday service. We have 3 services: 8 AM, 10 AM and 11:30 AM.

Nate Whipple Highway is closed only by the Middle School. You can still get to Emmanuel from Mendon Road, just drive past the detour signs.  If you’re coming from the east, use either 295 or Pine Swamp Road to get to Mendon Road.

Please be invited, and please invite others to tonight’s Good Friday worship, taking place at 7 PM.  Nate Whipple Highway is closed only by the Middle School.  You can still get to Emmanuel from Mendon Road, just blow right past the detour signs.  If you’re coming from the east, you have to use either 295 or Pine Swamp Road to get to Mendon Road.  DO NOT let that stop you from being with us tonight.
