The Season of Easter
The Easter Season lasts until Pentecost Sunday, which will fall on May 20th this year.
The vestments and altar cloth during the Easter Season are white, signifying the joy of Christ's resurrection. Two symbols for Easter are the Paschal Candle and holy water, which represent the light and new life of Christ's resurrection and the water of our baptism and rebirth.

Special Choir Dinner April 13
Emmanuel is hosting dinner for the Christ Church Choir (and our choir) on April 13 at 6pm.
Last time, we ordered pizzas and salads. That'll work this time as well. We'll be needing a handful of volunteers to assist. Please contact George or the church office if you can help. Thank you!

Kensington Market Q & A
Q:
How can I support Emmanuel's Kensington Market this year?
- by way of The Giving Tree (which replaces the Patron's List)
- by helping with the volunteer efforts
- by coming to the event during the day and/or the Pub night to relax and unwind and enjoy the fellowship which we have created
The Giving Tree will be at the back of the church along with the sign-up sheet for volunteering.
Thank you for supporting our Kensington Market!
