“Touch the Sky”

Oh, for summer days, laying on the grass

watching the clouds. We let time slip away as

the forms unfold before us, as the sun warms

our face, and the gypsy breeze plays with our

hair. When was the last time we have allowed

ourselves this great pleasure? When was the

last time we have just allowed ourselves to Be,

without being driven to Do? If there is a time for

the re-creation of our souls, it is this: when we

can allow our imaginations to meander in the

clouds and feel our spirit dance on the wind.

John Magee wrote a wonderful poem that

gives some sense of the blessing of such a

summer day- a day given over to the touch of

the sun and the breeze, and the great gift of

being alive. Dear friends, may we know such

days as we embrace the summer before us.

High Flight

By John Magee

O! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth

And danced the skies on laughter-silvered

wings;

Sunward I’ve climbed and joined with tumbling

mirth

Of sun-split clouds- and done a hundred things

You have not dreamed of-wheeled and soared

and swung

High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,

I’ve chased the shouting wind along and flung

My eager craft through footless halls of air…

Up, up, the long delirious, burning blue

I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy

grace,

Where never lark or even eagle flew-

And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve tread

The high untrespassed sanctity of space

Put out my hand and touched the face of

God.

HUNGER KNOWS NO SEASON... Sharon Perez, who faithfully takes our

food pantry donations in each month

is reporting that the donation

receptacle has been very light in

recent months. Emmanuel designates

the first Sunday of each month as

Food Pantry Sunday. Please remember to bring some

non-perishable food items and place them in the

receptacle located in the foyer. Our donations go to the

Kettle Moraine Food Pantry which is located just south of

Wales. Thank you.

WEDDING JOYS! We wish these happy couples joy!

HYMN TIDBITS…

America the Beautiful, which will be

the centerpiece for our July 5

Independence Day hymnsing, was

written by Katharine Lee Bates. Bates was an English

professor at Wellesley College just outside of Boston. In

1895, at the age of thirty-three, she took a train trip to

Colorado, to teach a summer course at Colorado

College.

On her way there, her train took her through the World's

Columbian Exposition in Chicago, with its alabaster

buildings proclaiming the promise of a bright future.

Then it took her through the Kansas wheat fields of

America's heartland,

and brought her up to the majestic view of the Great

Plains from high atop Pike’s Peak in Colorado. She saw it

all, one nation, one land, one people. And on the

pinnacle of Pike’s Peak, she wrote the poem we sing

today, America the Beautiful.

When Richard Nixon visited the People's Republic of

China in 1972, this song was played by the Chinese as the

welcome music. The Chinese characters for United States

literally mean "Beautiful Country." And it is, in fact, just

that. The Beautiful Country.

Adult Fellowship News....

We mourn the passing of our dear member, Nancy Allen.

She enjoyed attending our meetings and events and we

thoroughly enjoyed having her as part of the group.

Regular monthly meetings will resume in fellowship hall on

September 8 at 1:00 PM. Until then.....it appears we’ll be

spending the summer eating.....

JUNE 9

We’re going to Ron’s Cozy Corner for lunch. Meet at

church at 11 AM- reservation for lunch at 1l:30 AM.

JULY 14

Nancy Allen passed away on

April 27th following a courageous

battle with cancer. She joined

Emmanuel along with her

daughter, Gail Tamez just two

years ago....our time with her was

too short... We miss her warm smile and her jovial

disposition. Nancy was member of our Adult Fellowship

ladies group and regularly attended worship until the

cancer took her health.

A service in celebration of her life was held at Emmanuel

on May 3rd. Along with her daughter, Gail and Gail’s family, son-in-law Sal and grandsons Andrew and Robert,

Nancy is survived by three daughters and one son and

their families, three brothers and a sister. She was

preceded in death by her husband Morris, her daughter

Patricia, her granddaughter Grace and her parents, Paul

and Harriette Yearwood.

Nancy was a lifelong nurse, having graduated from

Deaconess Hospital School of Nursing in 1960. Activities

she enjoyed included scrapbooking, writing poems,

gardening and collecting dolls. She

loved life and loved her family.

She was lovingly cared for by her

family with the aid of Aurora at

Home Hospice in her final weeks.

Our love and support will continue

with Gail, Sal, Andrew and Robert.

Rest in peace dear friend.

This is always a good message,

but I thought it particularly

appropriate with our rummage

sale in the near future!

Jesus, looking at him, loved him

and said, “You lack one thing;

go, sell what you own, and give

the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in

heaven; then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21

Jesus' challenge to the rich ruler to give up all possessions

is quite unsettling, as many of us would be the first to

admit that we, indeed, have more than we actually

'need'. We may not be Warren Buffett rich, or Oprah

Winfrey rich, but rich enough, most of us with a house,

job, education, transportation and food.

Doris Powell, author of Stewards in the Household of God,

says, “Years ago when this was the Bible passage read in

church, I worried about what our minister might say. After

pointing out that Jesus would not be likely to ask the

same thing of everyone, he went on to suggest an

approach to faithfully deal with possessions. Step 1: Go

through your possessions, identify your excess, and give it

away. “Whoever has two coats must share with anyone

who has none; and whoever has food must do likewise.”

-Luke 3:11 Step 2: Learn to distinguish “needs” from

“wants” lest you reacquire an excess. Step 3: For those

possessions you've kept, find ways to share them.”

-Kris Davidson, Board of Stewards

The Emmanuel UCC Rummage AND Bake Sale is Coming on Saturday, August 29th!

Until then, there is lots to do….

Donate! Prior to Sunday, August 9th: Place your items in the

garage. If you have items that are delicate or fabric,

please place them under the rectangular tables

against the wall on the Parking lot side in Fellowship

Hall for Kristen to deal with.

On or After Sunday, August 9th: Smaller items can be

brought to the last two rooms on the left hand side in

the Sunday School wing. Larger items can be put in

the garage.

Baked goods or other homemade items can be

delivered starting Sunday, August 23rd up through

the day of the sale. Use your best judgment on how long they can sit. Please, no items that need

refrigeration and pre-package all items in a sellable

wrapping or container.

We can only accept flat-screened monitors or

televisions for donation. This is because Goodwill and

other agencies have stopped accepting tube style

screens and TV’s.

purses or hats.

Sort! This can be done by anyone at anytime. Just go to

the Sunday School rooms anytime after August 9th

and place any unsorted items by the sign for their

categories. If a category for the item has not been

created yet, grab a piece of paper for a sign and

start one.

Price and Display! Starting on Sunday, August 23rd through Friday,

August 28th masses of wonderful things will need to

be brought from the donation rooms and garage to

fellowship hall. They will then be organized, displayed,

and priced for sale.

Sell, sell, sell! On Saturday the 29th we will need some early risers to

come at 6am and set up.

Shifts beginning at 8am until 4pm will need to be

staffed to sell the items.

Clean-up! On Monday, August 31st any items remaining after our

blowout “name your price” free-for-all on Sunday the

30th after church, will need to be packed up for the

Charity truck.

If you have any questions, please contact the sale

organizer Kristen Voskuil at 608-698-0377 or

[email protected]. Also if you have particularly

valuable or precious items that you would want a reserve

price to be met before selling or that need special care,

contact Kristen to make arrangements.

Thank you all so much! Kristen

Singing Bowl Thanks to everyone who generously gave

your loose change to Doctors Without

Borders. It will go far to help their mission. We

raised $511.62.

Just a reminder our Singing Bowl collections continue for

Dryhootch for the months of June, July, & August.

Dryhootch provides veterans and their families with a

stable, substance-free environment, offering programs to

gather, grow and enhance their post-service lives. Please

give generously to our veterans who have given so much

to us! Thank You.

Social Concerns will be collecting books for Prader-Willi

Homes of Oconomowoc clients. They need books from

preschool thru high school. Board books, picture books, children’s cook books, books about presidents, nature

books. Just about anything. These children love to read

no matter what level they are. Prader-Willi Syndrome is a

brain based disorder that presents many challenges, both

mentally and physically including insatiable hunger.

As a church you all are so generous and Social Concerns

members are so grateful for all your help.

Family Promise of Western Waukesha County Our third round of hosting Family Promise is finished. Thank

you to everyone who participated. I'm sure you will agree

that in addition to helping others, we have a great

opportunity to get to know our fellow church members

better. Here is an update on some of the families we

have hosted.

Chy Chy and Kimberly are living in their own apartment in

Waukesha and doing great. Chy Chy loves her

apartment and is working with workforce development

and going to school to get her CNA.

Amanda and baby Jayden are doing well. Jayden is 3

months old -Amanda and baby live in Okauchee.

Amanda is still at McDonalds and Jayden is in a near-by

day care.

Cody, Rachel, and Amiah are a happy family. They love

their new apartment in Sussex. Cody has a full time job,

and Rachel is staying home with the baby. They have

reconnected with Rachel's family and they are an

excellent support system for this young family.

Stephanie and Avery have been a joy to host. Everyone

loves holding that precious baby.

Mitchell attends Silver Lake middle school and Denise

continues to work with FP to find housing for her family.

One of her 13 year old twin girls is scheduled for an MRI at

the end of the month to diagnose a heart problem.

Several other families have graduated through the

program, but they were not hosted at our church. Our

next hosting week is currently scheduled for August 2-9.

minute class on New Testament scriptures that aren’t in

our Bible (the Non-Canonical scriptures.) See below for a

description…

THE NON-CANONICAL SCRIPTURES…

These are ancient texts used by the early church that

aren’t found in our Bibles. The earliest years of Christianity

were filled with roiling creativity and passion. Many

people wrote versions of the life of Christ (gospels), texts

trying to understand what Christ’s life, death and resurrection meant (theology), and encouragement to

other believers. These texts were used during worship

services throughout the Christian world. But in the church

controversies of the first through fourth centuries, there

had to be winners and losers as to who was included in

the final canon (the 27 books that made it into the New

Testament). Over the centuries, the other non-canonical

works fell out of use, and then were forgotten entirely…

until recent archaeological digs. Needless to say, the

theological world was excited when they discovered this

whole new treasure of writings!

Aug. 20 from 7-7:45pm, Dick Hawkins will be giving an

introductory study on these scriptures not found in the

Bible. Come and jump into this whole new world that has

been discovered!

May 31st was Graduate Day at Emmanuel....we offer our congratulations to all...

Drew Powell: After school is over I am going to live it up and have all the fun I can have

before I leave for Fort Jackson in South Carolina for my Basic Training for the Army Reserves.

After that I go to Fort Lee in Virginia for my a.i.t. Training (specific job training). When I return

in February I will be looking for a new car or truck and I'll be looking for a job as a mechanic

since my military training will be a 91Bravo a wheeled vehicle mechanic. I will also be

attending a technical school for more schooling.

Xavier Hazelberg: After high school, I'm planning on attending UW- Madison; at this

point in time, I'm planning on majoring in Biomedical Engineering, as I really enjoy

Biology. - Xavier Hazelberg

Ryan Dockstader: Ryan graduated with his Associates Degree from UW Waukesha, and

starts a 2-year stint at Carroll College in September to get his BA in Early Childhood Education.

He wants to be a teacher- and will be a great one because he loves kids! He loves them so

much that he’s going to be the music teacher for our church school next September, too!

Ryan won an award of Achievement from the Yoga Club for making an outstanding positive

impact on the campus community. He was nominated by the club’s adviser, Dr. Subhangi

Stalder. He also received the Lynn Knight scholarship and the Founders scholarship from

Carroll University. Here is a portion of Dr. Stalder’s comments, read at the graduation ceremony about Ryan: I

cannot think of anyone more deserving of the yoga club achievement award than Ryan. Ryan has been the

vice president of the club but actually most of the time he actually did the president’s and treasure’s jobs as

well. He is very caring, kind and sensitive person. It was with his diligence, creativity and persistence the club

succeeded this last year. Ryan single handedly often did work for all three officers. His work to start the $1

campaign for Nepal Earth quake was very noticeable and allowed the club to reach its goal of $1000. Ryan

also was the recipient of the Lynn Knight Yoga Club scholarship this year. He has assimilated the true essence

and spirit of the yoga club.

Marie Mayer: Marie graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree with a

double major (political science & English) from the College of Letters &

Sciences at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. Future plans??? Finding a

job!!

Peggy Hazelberg: I graduated with honors of Magna Cum Laude from Carroll

University with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing on May 10, 2015. I have always had a

passion for pregnant mommies and newborns and is very pleased that I got a job at

Waukesha Memorial Hospital as a Labor and Delivery Nurse. I start my job on June 8.

Thank you to the wonderful congregation for always being so supportive of me going

back to school!!!
