Emmanuel Moves to Drive-in Worship this Week

Beginning this Sunday, we will stop in-person worship for the next few weeks.  We are following guidelines set by our diocesan medical advisory panel. This panel is composed of doctors, nurses, physicians’ assistants, nurse practitioners, epidemiologists, and one attorney. The members are from around the diocese, including people from our end of the diocese!

And so, with sorrowful hearts but mindful of our care for and stewardship of the people of Emmanuel, your vestry and I have made the decision to stop in person worship. This Sunday we will hold our drive-in worship as well as have a few chairs in the yard, 10' apart. If you choose to come and sit in the yard, you must wear a mask. There will also be a worship video posted on our Facebook page, later in the day, or at the latest, Monday morning.

Even if you have not joined Facebook, you can view our page: 

https://www.facebook.com/EmmanuelEpiscopalChatham

After a beautiful Sunday service last week, when we were blessed with the beautiful voice of Charlotte Paris singing, this will be a different experience. But we will be together with God. 

So, begin Advent with us.

Inside / Drive in Church October 18th at Emmanuel

Inside / Drive in Church

 

11 am worship is now both inside and via radio for drive-in. Inside we are staying safe by keeping the doors open, limiting the numbers inside, and keeping the 6’ distance requirements. So if you plan to be inside, you must let us know each week by Saturday at 5pm, that you are planning to come. 

 

THIS Sunday, October 18^th - the Feast Day of St. Luke

 

We will honor this day though special prayers and music, not only for those who are ill but in thanksgiving for those working in the health care field. Please send us any names of those to be remembered in prayer – those who are ill as well as those who work, in any way, in the medical field. 

Tomorrow at Emmanuel - Sunday October 4th, 11 am - Holy Communion

Tomorrow the church remembers Francis of Assisi. His love of all creatures, great and small, lead to the tradition of blessing our pets on this day. 

So we invite you to bring your pets (please, no snakes.) 

Our service of Holy Communion will be offered as both drive-in church and church in the yard! 

Chairs will be placed in the yard for those who wish to be outside of your car.  

We celebrate God's blessings of our pets, remembering that everything belongs to God and we are blessed by the gift of companionship pets bring to our lives. 

A note about worship at Emmanuel on Sept. 27 and going forward

In the best interest of our health and safety, the vestry and I have decided to continue with drive-in church for the foreseeable future. We know this announcement will disappoint some who were looking forward to coming back inside. But new statistics have caused us to reconsider. 

As we walk the Jesus story with Matthew’s gospel in this later part of the Pentecost season, the gospel readings will speak more and more about Jesus’ sacrificial love. In this COVIDTIDE season of our life together, our walk of love has a sacrificial component to it as well.  We are having to sacrifice many things that we feel important for identifying us as the people of Emmanuel, chiefly worshipping inside.

But in this time, we must be mindful of how we are good care takers of each other.

We are not only protecting those present but also those with whom they will have contact.

So worship will continue to be different. We strive to make changes that do not strip away all of what we believe about the power of our liturgy to mold and transform us a people of God. We are having to put some new wine into these old skins! And I know most of us do not like it. I do not as well.

However, the vestry and I feel we must be careful about calling us back together. Hospitalizations have recently gone up and there is an uptick of the spread once again in our area.

In this “Covidtide” the indoors criteria is about not only duration and droplets but also aerosol transmission. So, the changes we make, and will make, will attend to that criteria.  All these changes are to help us be safer and slow the spread of this virus.

This concern for the health of those who may come into contact with us is a way we Love Godand each other. We do so, yes, out of an abundance of caution but more so out of an abundance of Christian love for our each other; for our Neighbor.

Being attentive to what we do, and what we are asked to do, is never more important. We must commit ourselves to new and intentional ways of being together. This is walking in love.

And may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, keep us all.

So come tomorrow and drive-in. Come help us reflect on the mind of Christ. 

Come in joy to meet the Lord!  (Click on this link to hear a beautiful version of this hymn!

A husband-and-wife duo piano team from Cornell University will play a free concert open to the community at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 16, 2017 in St. Mary’s Chapel at Chatham Hall. The concert is dedicated to the memory of Frances Hallam Hurt, local author, historian, and arts patron, and is sponsored by Chatham Hall. There will be a reception in the Tea Room of the library following the concert.

In the upcoming year, Yampolsky will perform in New York City and Berlin with cellist Zvi Plesser, and Guy Braunstein, former concertmaster of the Berlin Philharmonic. Bjerken will record and premiere concertos by Stephen Hartke and Jesse Jones at Oberlin College-Conservatory, as well as perform these pieces in Ithaca, Austin, Texas, and Los Angeles. 

Bjerken, born and reared in Santa Barbara, California, and Yampolsky, born in Russia and reared in Israel, were students of Leon Fleisher at Peabody Conservatory. They are co-founders and artistic directors of Mayfest, the Cornell Department of Music’s annual festival of world-class chamber music, which celebrated its tenth anniversary this year. The couple has three children: Misha, who is in high school and plays the double bass and sings; Anna, who is in middle school and plays the piano and sings; and Maya, who is in kindergarten and studies dance.

Emmanuel Welcomes the Reverend Dr. Regina Christianson as Priest in Charge

Emmanuel recently welcomed the Reverend Dr. Regina Christianson as its new priest-in-charge.

Dr. Christianson comes to Chatham from Jericho & Underhill, Vermont where she served Calvary Episcopal Church, founded the Green Mountain Children’s Choir, led church music workshops, was an active member of the board for the local ecumenical food shelf and emergency fund, facilitated the local grief group, led Celtic spirituality retreats, and advised community clergy and others about mental health issues.

Regina began her career as a music teacher in an Episcopal Independent School in New York City, St. Hilda’s and St. Hugh’s. At that time she was a Sister in the Community of the Holy Spirit, the Episcopal Religious Order that founded, partly staffed, and owned the school during those years.

After leaving the Order, Regina became a private music educator and professional musician in New York City. Following several years of teaching and performing, she was invited to be the harpist-in-residence at the Trapp Family Lodge, Stowe, VT, owned by the Von Trapps of Sound of Music Fame.

Regina's study in church history and spirituality led to her Master’s and Doctoral thesis on Hildegard of Bingen, a 12^th century mystic, theologian, and composer, receiving both her M. Div. and D. Min. from the Episcopal Divinity School, Cambridge, Mass., well known for its pastoral orientation.

Dr. Christianson is also an experienced interfaith mental health chaplain. She is currently completing her qualification for certification as a Spiritual Director.

Regina met her husband, Stephen Whiteley, M. Mus., when they both sang as professional choir members at St. James’ Episcopal Church, Madison Avenue, where they were later married. They love to garden, travel, go camping, listen to the ocean, and make music together.

Dr. Christianson will also serve as Episcopal Chaplain at Chatham Hall. She may be reached by email at [email protected].
