The Sundays after Pentecost
The season after Pentecost, according to the calendar of the church year, begins on the Monday following Pentecost, and continues through most of the summer and autumn. It may include as many as twenty-eight Sundays, depending on the date of Easter. This includes Trinity Sunday which is the First Sunday after Pentecost.
The Book of Common Prayer provides proper collects and readings for the other Sundays of the season. These propers are numbered and designated for use on the Sundays which are closest to specific days in the monthly calendar, whether before or after. For example, Proper 3 is designated for use, if needed, on the Sunday closest to May 25. Proper 29 is designated for use on the Sunday closest to Nov. 23.
Prior to the 1979 BCP, Sundays in this long period of the church year were identified and counted in terms of the number of Sundays after Trinity Sunday instead of the number of Sundays after Pentecost. This period is also understood by some as "ordinary time," a period of the church year not dedicated to a particular season or observance.

The Meal Train: All Aboard!
The vestry of Emmanuel Episcopal Church has invited you to join the meal train for Jean Owen who is now recovering from surgery. We are only doing 2 days per week to help her as she recovers.
We appreciate your helping out if you are able.
What is a meal train?
There are times in our lives when friends and family ask, "What can I do to help out?" The answer is usually to help them with a meal. When many friends give a meal, this is a meal train.
MealTrain.com is a free meal calendar tool that makes planning meals among a wide group easy and less stressful.
Please click on the logo above to access the Meal Train for Jean Owen.
On behalf of Jean Owen, Thank You!

Saint of the Week:
Saint Francis of Assisi, Friar and Founder of the Franciscan Order
4 October 1226
Saint Francis was born in late 1181 to a wealthy Italian silk merchant and his wife, who came from a noble Provençal family.Instead of Giovanni, his baptismal name, his father called him "Francesco," which means "French." Francesco, or Francis, grew up with every advantage, and as a young man, lived a high-spirited, carefree existence. But in his early twenties, he experienced a change of heart and decided to live a life of poverty, accompanied by a group of like-minded disciples as he traveled from place to place preaching the Gospel.
With the approval of the Pope, he founded the Franciscan Order of friars. He also founded a religious order for women, the Poor Clares, and a Third Order
of Brothers and Sisters of Penance, a lay fraternity that lived according to Franciscan principles, without withdrawing from the world or taking religious vows. The Franciscans eventually became one of the largest religious orders.
Francis wanted to go to Spain and to the Holy Land to preach to Muslims there, but was long deterred by a shipwreck and by illness. Eventually he did manage to go to Egypt and Syria. His reverence for all of God's creation extended to birds and other animals, and even the sun and moon, whom he called his "brothers" and "sisters."
Francis's years of poverty and wandering eventually ruined his health .and his eyesight. He died in 1226, at the age of 45, and was canonized only two years later. He is revered as the patron saint of animals and ecology, and also one of the two patron saints of Italy.

New Comma Baroque Presents:
Fundraisers for Emmanuel Episcopal Church of LaGrange
Telemann's 'Lost' 12 Fantasias for Solo Viol, 1735
Located in 2014 by Thomas Fritzsch, a copy of Telemann's self-published 1735 fantasias for viola da gamba survived near Hanover at Ledenburg Palace in the collection of Eleonore von Münster (née von Grothaus, 1734-1794).
Dedicated to musical subscriber Mr. Pierre Chaunell (1703-1789), Telemann's fantasias encompass a variety of forms spanning fugal writing to elements of the rondo and concerto while straddling the Polish and Moravian music of his early career to the High Baroque and the galant.
