And so when we remember our loved

ones at our Feast of Eternity, we are
remembering that we will come together
again; that the parting is not forever; and
that even death shall no longer separate
us from each other. Or as my very favorite
Bible verse says

The Feast of Eternity

?Why is the Feast of Eternity held
on Nov. 22?

Well, first, what IS the Feast of Eternity?

It commemorates all those who have
died in the past year, we light candles
and ring the chimes in their memory.
(PS- Please let Donna and Pastor
Hawkins know who you would like
remembered, so we can put their
names in the bulletin.)
Now, why is it held on Nov. 22? We
could say that its the Sunday before
Thanksgiving because we are thankful
for those we love but it doesnt
always land on the Sunday before
Thanksgiving.
The Feast of Eternity (also called
Ewigkeitsfest, or the Reign of Christ, or
Christ the King Sunday) is always held
on the Sunday before Advent starts.
Advent marks the beginning of the
Christian year; the Feast of Eternity
marks the last day of the Christian year.
On this last day, we remember that
Christ is the heart of all, both the living
and the dead. And that we are
promised that on the last day, we shall
all be gathered at the Great Feast of
Eternity, the wedding feast of the
Lamb. And there shall be no more
crying, nor death, nor pain, for death
itself will have passed away and all
Gods people will dwell in peace in the
Kingdom of God.

I am persuaded that neither death nor

life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things to
come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us from
the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
(Romans 8:38-39)

???And what is this Hanging of the

Greens thing???

The Hanging of the Greens marks the

beginning of the Christian liturgical year,
when we start looking forward to the birth
of Jesus. The four weeks leading up to
Jesus birth are called Advent. The
definition of advent is the arrival or
emergence of a notable thing, person or
event (like, The advent of television.)
Ours is the advent of the Savior of the
World, Jesus.
In good northern European tradition, we
decorate the Sanctuary with evergreens
(because God never dies) and lights
(because God brings light into even the
darkest day.) And we also decorate the
Christmas tree because its pretty!
(Note: the early German pagans used to
decorate evergreens with small dead
animals like squirrels and chipmunks, but
we rather prefer Christmas bulbs, lights,
and such.) And at Emmanuel, we also
hang gifts like mittens and hats on the tree
to be blessed, so the homeless children
who receive them after Christmas may be
blessed with both warm mittens and our
prayers.

For surely I know the plans I have for youto give you a

What is trust and why is it important?
Trust is: Assured reliance on the character, ability,
strength, or truth of someone or something. MerriamWebster.com

Trust in the Promise

Trust plays a vital role in the lives of humans as it is the

pathway to founding and maintaining a good, morally
mature society. Whether it is trusting another in team
sports, friendship, or just for help and guidance, trust is
able to increase the strength of the bond between any
amounts of people.
The earliest trust relationship is developed with the bond
between an infant and caregiver, most often the mother.
Research has shown that when the caregiver fails to
meet an infants primary needs, the child will develop
basic mistrust, which could result in depression,
withdrawal, and maybe even paranoia later in life.
Alternatively, when a caregiver responds quickly to an
infants cries and a secure attachment is formed, the
benefits extend far beyond the first year of life. Infants
and toddlers that form secure attachments have a far
greater chance of becoming successful children and
teenagers and the majority of infants that showed early
attachment security went on to have attachment
stability in adulthood.
As adults, our relationship with God is often portrayed as
a loving parent/child relationship. There are numerous
verses in the Bible that refer to this relationship: Truly I say
to you, unless you turn and become like little children, you
will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3
As the fall pledge drive nears we will explore different
relationships in society and how trust is an overarching
umbrella throughout these relationships.

1st!!

Place your orders with Laurie Buckett- they

will be delivered to you the following
Sunday. SCRIP cards are available for
purchases of gas, groceries, big-box stores
and most anything you can imagine. You
pay face value for the cards and Emmanuel
retains a percentage of each purchase. Its an easy way
to give the church a financial helping hand!
Pastor Nansi uses gift cards to help out those in need with
gas and groceries ($20-$25 increments), so if you can
spare a few more dollars, dont forget her Care Fund
Ministry.

When our trust in God is secure we will surely Trust in the

Promise.

MISSION & OUTREACH

Singing Bowl
Good News! The Singing Bowl has been
ringing to the tune of $110.65 for Repairers
of the Breach. This Milwaukee-based
daytime refuge for the homeless has such a wide mission
that we will be helping through January 2016-you know,
that month when you wake up to the sound of your
furnace and you wonder how in the world anyone could
sleep under a bridge?
The green container for toiletries for Repairers of the
Breach is filling up nicely. Just to remind you-Band Aids, lip
balm, cough drops, reading glasses with cases, generic
Tylenol, Vitamin D3, Ben-Gay, instant oatmeal,
evaporated milk and toilet paper have been requested
by the staff at Repairers. NOVEMBER 1ST will be the LAST
SUNDAY these will be collected.

Christmas Mittens!

Is it too early to be thinking Christmas? Not when you can

shop for or knit mittens! Yes, the Sanctuary Tree will be a
MITTEN TREE. With lovely scarves and colorful mittens it'll
be a joy to behold. Begin bringing them on Nov. 29when well be decorating during our Hanging of the
Greens service.

Angel Tree

Look for our angel tree filled with gift cards and
envelopes in the gathering area on Sunday, November
29. There will be several ways you can make this
Christmas a little brighter for someone.
We will lend a hand to families in our community that
need our help during these trying economic times.
Choose a gift envelope from the tree. On the envelope
will be a request from a parent for a toy, book, gift card,
or a needed clothes items like shoes, boots, coat,
pajamas, jeans, etc. for their children. Purchase the
chosen gift, wrap the present, and include the gift
envelope on the outside of the package. If it is a request
for a gift card from a discount store, gas station or
grocery store, insert purchased gift card in the envelope,
and bring envelope back to church and deposit it in box
by the tree. (Dont forget our Scrip Program when
purchasing gift cards; the church will benefit also by
receiving a percentage of the $ amount on the card.)
OR
Choose a gift bag and fill it with items for some of our
homeless, lonely, and disabled Veterans (there will be a
list of possible items by the tree that are very much
needed such as warm socks, soap, toiletries, chocolate
or snack.). Write a note of thanks for their service to our
country or a note of hope on the attached card and
bring the filled bag back to Church and place by the
tree.
Please bring your wrapped gifts, gift envelopes, or
Veterans gift bags back to church by Sunday,
December 13. Thanks for your generosity.

MISSIONS OF EMMANUEL...
Family Promise
As we celebrate our one year anniversary of hosting
families a summary is in order.
We have served:

46 clients (from the ages of 0 60)

16 households (consisting of 5 adult males and 16

adult females; 11 boys and 13 girls)

Ten families have graduated from the program and

five left the program before graduating.

There have been 112 families that have made

contact with the staff at Family Promise inquiring
about the program but were not admitted. A variety
of reasons were stated as to why these families did
not enter the program. Some of those reasons were:
o Did not qualify
o Did not show up for the interview
o Housing was found quickly
o The family chose not to use our services
o Cases were still open
As we begin our second year of hosting we wish to thank
all of you who helped in so many ways. The families that
have stayed with us express their gratitude for the warmth
and care (and delicious meals) that have greeted them.
Sue and I are very appreciative of all that you do for
Family Promise. Thank you!

The first performance of our Sunday School Choir

under the direction of Ryan Dockstader

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION
SUNDAY SCHOOL
We have finished our first lesson theme of Prayer in
Sunday School. We learned about the hand prayer and
the different things we pray for, different ways to pray
(even lying on our backs!) and the Lord's Prayer. Remind
your children to pray every day...and remember to pray
yourself to bring you closer to God. The kids had their first
"concert" singing the song they learned during Sunday
School, too. They did very well! Our next lesson will be on
Jesus as a Boy in the Temple.
REMEMBER: Sign up to be an acolyte through the SignUp
Genius that was emailed. This sign up goes through
December and a new one will go out that will start in
January. Please bring in your child's registration for
Sunday School if you haven't done so already. There are
extra forms in the blue room and in the file folder in the
Christian Ed mailbox. You can drop off your registration
form with a teacher or place in the Christian Ed mailbox.
And don't forget to bring in some extra money if you can
for our offering.
Thank you! The Christian Ed Team.

Christian Ed Music Ministry...Wow

what a great
job our kids did singing Seek First! I was very impressed at
their performance. I know many of the kids were nervous
to perform in front of the entire church. It took a lot of
hard work and practice but they did it. Throughout the
month of October the Sunday school students have been
learning Thy Word. We hope to perform this song in
church on Sunday November, 8th please note this date. If
this date changes you will be notified via email. The
Christian Education team plans on video recording this
performance and it will be posted on the Emmanuel
website for you to view if you are not able to attend.
Some of the children requested that they be recorded
because they want to see themselves performing. In the
music portion of Church School we have been learning
about Thy Word and what it means to find your path.
Please note that on October 25th I will not be able to
attend church. Thankfully Melanie Ignatowski will be our
substitute music teacher for the day. Thanks Melanie! Also
in November I will begin teaching
Christmas songs along with or hymn of the month which
will be Lord I Lift Your Name on High. I look forward to
teaching our new music and the children and I thank you
for your continued support.
Blessing,
Ryan Dockstader and the Christian Education Team

What is Messy Church? Its a new concept in

teaching the Christian faith to all ages, being tried out by

McFarland UCC outside of Madison. Sun, Nov 8 from 49pm, theres a national UCC workshop being held at
McFarland UCC describing how it works. Want to come
and hear about it? Let me know! Pastor Hawkins
pastor@seeyouonsunday.org / 965-2429

YOUTH GROUP
THANK YOU to Justin & Natasha Sneesby for being our
new Youth Group leaders. An email was sent out to all

the families with kids outlining the basics for the group. It
will include kids in grades 4 through 12 and will eventually
(hopefully) meet weekly on Wednesday nights from 67:30 PM. The first gathering is coming up on Wednesday,
October 21. The group is doing a soft roll-out so may not
meet for a month after the first gathering. A survey was
sent out by the Sneesbys resulting in a name for the new
group: REVOLUTION!
Some of Justins thoughts on the new group...
... I want our youth group to stand apart from the rest not
necessarily be apart or not include other groups on
mission trips, community outreach etc. I want us to be
leaders. I want us to be the talk of the youth groups
because I want us not only worship and play games but I
also want to be a place of acceptance and I think now
days our youth find it hard to find a place like that. I not
only want the group to be leaders but do it with love and
respect for the human race. I want the youth group not
only be leaders but I want them accept and love with all
of their heart and soul no matter where a person comes
from or what choices they have made in their life. I want
to do what Christ instructed us to do and that is to Love
thy Neighbor as you would yourself and to Love God with
all your Heart and Soul...

CONFIRMATION
NOV. 6-8- CONFIRMATION MISSION TRIP TO
CHICAGO.

We have to be in Chicago at 5:15pm. Its a 2-hour trip on

a good day, which means leaving at 3 from the church.
Needed: Sleeping bag, basic toiletries (probably no
shower Fri or Sat), $25 lunch money, 1 set work clothes, 1
set decent clothes: NO HATS; NO LOGOS OR PICTURES
ON THE SHIRTS; GANGS TEND TO RESPOND TO THOSE
THINGS! Also, bring a warm coat/gloves: well be outside
on the streets for several hours, and it can get COLD!

NOV. 14, 12-3- CONFIRMATION FUNDRAISER at the

Kettle Moraine Chili Cook-Off at the Kettle Moraine
High School gym. Confirmands have to be there from

12-3pm to set up; Food is served to the public from 13pm. LOOK FOR OUR YOUTHS! Theyll be the ones selling
hotdogs to make your chili dogs with!

ADULTS
Jesus is called the Son of God but so was Caesar.

Before Jesus ever started His ministry, the Roman

Emperors were called The Savior of the World, The Son
of God, and The Prince of Peace, but their idea of
how peace would be achieved was by conquering the
world. When Jesus comes on the scene, these imperial
titles are taken over by Him. Why? What does it mean
when the titles of the Roman Imperial Theology are taken
from Caesar and given to Jesus?
