Emmanuel Episcopal Church

Welcome 

We are an inclusive community committed to connecting all people to Christ's love through worship, service, and creative expression. Whoever you are, wherever you are on your journey, we welcome you, regardless of race, class, gender, sexuality.  

Nov 1st Updates: As you may have heard, the State of Illinois is imposing additional mitigation measures tomorrow in suburban Cook County (Region 10) due to a sustained increase in COVID-related hospitalizations along with an increasing test positivity rate.

In consultation with the Wardens, we have decided it would be prudent to suspend in-person worship for the time being. This is not a decision we have taken lightly, and I want to thank those who have shared their opinions on the matter with us. But we feel that the church has an obligation to protect the most vulnerable among us and to be good role models of Christ's love for humanity.

This time, however, we will be doing things a little differently. Instead of having a service of Morning Prayer via Zoom, the service participants (myself, Deacon Bill, George, etc.) will still hold a Holy Eucharist which will be streamed live over Facebook. The service will look just like the ones we have been holding recently, just with far fewer people in attendance. I hope this will allow at least some semblance of continuity and normalcy. We invite you to participate at home, and you can download the service bulletin here to follow along.
