FEBRUARY 2017 HARBINGER NEWSLETTER Volume 4 Issue 2
Fr. Greg's Pastoral Letter for the Harbinger:February 2017
Greetings, Emmanuel!
(Part of the following is also one of my Facebook posts!)
About 5 ½ years ago, at our Episcopal Clergy retreat on
Mackinac Island, they had an afternoon spiritual activity
that really meant a lot to me: We made Tibetan Prayer
Flags. Here is an explanation taken from Wikipedia that
sounds pretty accurate to my basic understanding of
these prayer flags:
"Traditionally, prayer flags are used to promote peace,
compassion, strength, and wisdom. The flags do not
carry prayers to gods, which is a common miscon-
ception; rather, the Tibetans believe the prayers
and mantras will be blown by the wind to spread the
good will and compassion into all pervading space.
Therefore, prayer flags are thought to bring benefit
to all.
By hanging flags in high places the Lung ta will carry the
blessings depicted on the flags to all beings. As wind
passes over the surface of the flags, which are sensitive
to the slightest movement of the wind, the air is purified
and sanctified by the mantras.
The prayers of a flag become a permanent part of the
universe as the images fade from exposure to the
elements. Just as life moves on and is replaced by new
life, Tibetans renew their hopes for the world by
continually mounting new flags alongside the old. This
act symbolizes a welcoming of life's changes and an
acknowledgment that all beings are part of a greater
ongoing cycle.

Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are
sacred, they should be treated with respect. They
should not be placed on the ground or used on clothing.
Old prayer flags should be burned."
We will be creating our own prayer flags during both the
8:30 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. services on Sunday, February
26. We have persons in our community who have
generously offered to help supply materials for this
event. When these flags are are finished, you will have
the opportunity to have them hung in the church for us
to help consecrate our entryway for the season of lent.
Likewise, if you prefer, you can take them home with
you. Once lent is over, we will either display them
outside or let you take them home, and the prayers on
them will be offered to the world.
Lent is a special time for us to consider our place in the
world. To contemplate our relationship with God, and to
figure out how we can deepen it. I believe that we can
greatly benefit in this season by following spiritual
disciplines that are known to us, or by developing new
ones that freshen this season. This is one such way.
As we continue through these Sundays of Epiphany, let
us challenge ourselves anew to be a revelation of
Christ's love to the world. In these last days, he finds
his most able hands in ours.
Grace and Peace,
Fr. Greg
Fr. Greg's Announcements for the Harbinger
LAST TUESDAY Adult Christian Formation Series:
at 5:30 pm in the Lottie Peterson Room.
Fr. Greg will be leading this, and we will alternate
themes: January 31 we will talk about MEMBERSHIP:
What does it mean to be a part of the
Episcopal/Anglican Church? Each month we will ask
different questions, talk about history and issues, and I
will share what wisdom that I have with you. February
28 we will talk about DISCIPLESHIP: What does it mean
to really turn your life over to Jesus? We will talk about
authors and people who have done so, and think about
how we are doing on that, and perhaps challenge each
other to deepen our individual lives as disciples. If you
have just started coming to Emmanuel, or have been
here for years and years, all are welcome to each
meeting. (In the winter, if school is cancelled for
![Page 3: Fr. Greg's Pastoral Letter for the Harbinger: February 2017 · Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are sacred, they should be treated with respect. They should not be](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050503/5f9551cb6d25f82b58512a29/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Petoskey Public, so is the class for that night!)
Membership nights will also be March 28 and May 30. A
second discipleship night will be April 25...and we'll
move forward from there. Hope to see you there!
Confirmation Classes: Are being set-up for this lent
and Easter Season, for the ceremony to take place in
the summer. Please let Fr. Greg know if you are
interested in attending. These classes will prepare
you, not only for:
Confirmation - an adult affirmation of your faith; but
also for
Re-affirmation: you have previously been confirmed but
feel that you have advanced your faith and would like to
publicly proclaim that; and for
Reception into the Episcopal Church: you have been
brought up in another tradition and are ready to claim
the Episcopal Church as your own.
For all of these, the classes are the same. For youth to
be eligible for Confirmation, they must
have completed one year of our TLC Program (Training
Leaders for Christ, offered each summer)
Ash Wednesday Services:
Wednesday, March 1, 2017
12:00 noon Nativity Episcopal Church -
Boyne City: Imposition of Ashes
and HolyEucharist Rite 2
3:45 p.m. Emmanuel Episcopal Church -
Petoskey: Youth Centered Service of
Ashes and Holy Eucharist
7:00 p.m. Emmanuel Episcopal Church -
Petoskey: Cross of Christ Lutheran
Church will join us for the Imposition of
Ashes and Holy Eucharist Rite 2
Will we have a Special Evening Lenten Program this
year? If so, I need some help in its planning and
execution. In 2016 we had wonderful evenings of
movies with Lenten themes, and that would be a
wonderful thing to continue. Would you like to suggest
movies and help make this happen? Do you have some
other idea of how to do this? Julie Eckhardt is leading an
Adult Spiritual Formation Class on Wednesdays this lent,
and you are welcome to join that, but I am looking for
something to do on Tuesdays. Ideas? Somebody throw
me a bone! And look to this space next month to see
what this activity is! It will begin on Tuesday, March 7 at
a time to be determined! See Fr. Greg to get involved.

BEYOND OUR WALLS FEBRUARY NEWS
Northmen Den UpdateCome and See and meet these resilient and grateful
young Northmen Den students. Just stay for 15 minutes
or stay for the 2 hours that the Den is open each Friday
from 1 to 3 p.m.
Meet one of our Northmen Den students:
We have been asking all the students what they want to
be when they grow up. One young boy told me he
wanted to be a Marine. I asked him, "Why a Marine?"
He replied, "My Father is a Marine." I said, "That's quite
an achievement." He looked at me and explained, "I
have never met my Dad for he left my Mom when he
heard she was pregnant with me." A young innocent
and vulnerable boy just wanting to know his father,
thus, he's going to become a Marine to be "near" him.
By the way, he's the young man who makes the mashed
potatoes and "green beans" for his younger two
brothers he loves and cares for so much. He's trying to
be a father for his brothers who are 6 and 4 at the age
of 12. Come and See and you will believe in our
Northmen Den Ministry even more than you do
now.
The Volunteer Sign-up sheet is on the Bulletin
Board in the Lobby. We need 4 people each week - to
stock shelves, do inventory, get to know the students
while they are shopping for their weekend food and
encourage them to believe in themselves, care for each
other and share Christ's love for them.
Thank you for the donated food! The socks, the warm
fleece jackets plus the pineapple, fruit cocktail, fantastic
soups, toothpaste, spaghetti, notebooks, pencils and
other great foods flew off the shelves last week. And,
thank you for the $1,800 donations to help us buy
quality fresh apples, oranges, carrots, grapes, bagels,
toiletries and clothing!
![Page 5: Fr. Greg's Pastoral Letter for the Harbinger: February 2017 · Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are sacred, they should be treated with respect. They should not be](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050503/5f9551cb6d25f82b58512a29/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Rose Tamraz bought Valentine Hearts full of chocolates
for the students. Sara Mosher & Traci Long and her
family are writing personal notes each week to be
placed in the Snack Bags that the students pick up on
each Monday. Kelli Hagan & Leah Cell are working on a
Monthly Birthday Cake for all the students to share. A
few weeks ago, Susie Spence brought homemade
chocolate chip cookies for the kids and they were eaten
with great delight (and the volunteers enjoyed them
too). So far, our Northmen Den volunteers have been
Shirley Burns, Andy & Susie Spence, Sandy Selden,
Katie McGinnis, Jan Smith, Father Greg, Joy McBride,
Frank & Dottie Hawthorne, Lorelei Scott, Amy Janssen
and Kathy Petersen. As Andy left the Northmen Den he
told the other Volunteers, "I am going to be waking
up tonight thinking and praying for these dear
children."
We need a Volunteer(s) to pick up the food from
Manna each Thursday around 1:30 - 2 p.m. to be
delivered to the Middle School. Joy, Frank, Dottie or
Kathy will meet you at the School to take all the food to
the Northmen Den Pantry. Some of the food order will
need to be taken to the Church for the Snack Bag
production after the 10:00 Service during Coffee Hour
too.
Bless everyone who has helped this Ministry come alive.
It's incredible what is happening - it's a miracle created
by Emmanuel Parish who have Christ in their heart and
are taking His Words to Action!
Call Kathy at 231-622-8044 or
[email protected] or talk to Joy McBride,
Shirley Burns, Dottie Hawthorne with questions or
wanting to volunteer in some way or other.

Emmanuel Book Group February Meeting
William Kent Krueger's Ordinary
Grace centers around Frank Dunn,
son of a Methodist minister who
is taking a retrospective look
back 40 years to the fateful
summer of 1951. He and his
brother Jake experienced
events that summer that
define the men they have
become in the late 1990's.
Krueger who generally pens
mystery novels wrote Ordinary
Grace as a stand alone novel
that has won countless awards and is praised by
many readers. We will be meeting Monday February
14th at 7pm in the Lottie Petersen room at
Emmanuel and our host will be Dottie Hawthorn.

28 DAYS OF PRAYER FOR EMMANUEL AN EXPERIMENT FOR FEBRUARY 2017
What might God do if every individual and family in this
parish prayed once a day for Emmanuel Episcopal
![Page 7: Fr. Greg's Pastoral Letter for the Harbinger: February 2017 · Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are sacred, they should be treated with respect. They should not be](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050503/5f9551cb6d25f82b58512a29/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Church?
Jesus said multiple times that if we have just a little bit
of faith, our prayers can do great things. Let's put our
faith to work with a daily prayer for our church during
the month of February.
Set a brief time for prayer at roughly the same time
each day. Your best time might be in the morning, just
before bed, or with your family before meal time. You
might start with one of the prayers below or just speak
to God from your heart. Pray for individuals from our
parish, if anyone comes to mind. Or pray for a friend
who might find what they are seeking at our church.
Let's pray every day for one (short) month and see what
happens. We are leaving the outcome to God, trusting
that God's goodness will be stronger in our midst
because of our commitment to pray for our church
community.
At the end of the month, take a moment to reflect on
this experience and what you noticed. Share this with
someone else and help us all grow our faith in this way.
For the Parish
"Almighty and everliving God, ruler of all things in
heaven and earth, hear our prayers for this parish
family. Strengthen the faithful, arouse the careless, and
restore the penitent. Grant us all things necessary for
our common life, and bring us all to be of on e heart
and mind within your holy Church; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen." (BCP 817)
For the Mission of the Church
"Everliving God, whose will it is that all should come to
you through your Son Jesus Christ; Inspire our witness
to him, that all may know the power of his forgiveness
and the hope of his resurrection; who lives and reigns
with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
Amen." (BCP 816)

PASTORAL CARE CELL
Outreach has gained momentum. The Pastoral Care
Team was honored to host the Longest Night Service at
Emmanuel in on December 21 to offer hope and comfort
to those within our local community that may have
experienced loss or any type of grievement during the
holiday season. We were blessed to have the First
Presbyterian Church of Petoskey share in the
presentation. It was wonderful to have the service
interdenominationally hosted and where the Pastoral
Team was given the honor of sharing of the Scripture
readings of comfort. We were also available to meet
after the service with those who attended. It was a
way to share Emmanuel's commitment of caring not
only for our parish but to also offer help and hope to
those who maybe searching for a new home to worship.
We are all inspired to be able to share cross
denominational love to everyone needing to feel the
comfort of the Lord's gift of caring. It also is for a home
where they can feel able to worship.
Team members have also been calling members of the
Parish to just "check in" on a monthly basis to let
everyone know we are available for not only urgent
problems, but also to be there for everyday issues.
Sometimes just a warm voice can make a difference and
we hope our monthly calls will be a comfort to you all.
We have loved hearing about your day to day
happenings and getting to know you all better.
Surprisingly for me, and others on the Pastoral Care
Team, it opens our hearts and strengthens our
commitment to be a greater part of Emmanuel. I hope
you enjoy hearing from us as much as we love taking to
you! If you would be interested in joining the Pastoral
Care Team please contact Leah in the office or Sharyn
Olliffe at 231.622.8866.

MUSIC DEPARTMENT FEBRUARY NEWS
Greetings and blessings to all. The music department is
buzzing with excitement. The adult choir will be singing
an anthem every Sunday through Easter. I have picked
out some very nice anthems for Palm Sunday and
Easter. I am in the process of securing a brass quartet
to accompany our hymns on Easter Sunday.
On March 19th at the 10 a.m. service Chantelle You will
be singing, "O Devine Redeemer" by Charles Gounod.
This is a very powerful song written for soprano about
God and His relation to us as the Devine Redeemer. I
will be accompanying her on the organ.
Lent will be a somber time with the service music
changing. The Gloria will be replaced with the "Kyrie."
The Sanctus and Agnus Dei will be more somber to
reflect the season. On Easter Sunday, the Gloria will
change to one that is very lively, bright and joyful.
On Thursday, January 19th, I went to Toledo to play a

concert of music from the 1920's on the museums huge,
historic pipe organ in their concert hall.
The youth choir will be rehearsing to sing an anthem
once a month through Easter. And they will be joining
the adult choir on Easter.
I am still open for teaching private lessons on piano,
organ and voice. And we can always use more happy
voices in our adult and youth choirs through Easter. The
youth rehearse on Wednesday at 4 to 4:30 p.m. The
adults rehearse on Thursday at 7 to 9 p.m. Wishing you
a blessed time.
TIME FOR A CHANGE?

Congregational Development Institute
Our diocese, in partnership with other dioceses, holds
the Congregational Development Institute to help
churches develop ministries. It offers conceptual models
and engages in case studies, using large-group
presentation and small-group discussion for support and
coaching.
The Institute meets at the McMullen Conference Center
at Higgins Lake, outside Roscommon (convenient travel
time for us); sessions begin Friday morning, include an
overnight stay, and finish late Saturday afternoon. The
diocese pays for lodging and meals and program
expenses; Emmanuel Church pays the $60 fee for study
materials. The next round of Institute dates will be
March 24-25, May 5-6, September 29-30, and
November 17-18.
We have two members Emmanuel interested, and there
is room for more. If you would like to be a part, contact
Father Greg.
A new "Cell Group" is being formed at Emmanuel.
It is called: The Scroungers. We have no meetings. We
have no list of members. And we have no requirements
for membership. Here is the genesis of the group.
Yesterday I had my "every four month" dental cleaning.
Also yesterday I had my annual exam from the actual
dentist, plus bite wing x-rays of my mouth. Cost of the
visit, $158.00.
At the end I was given the "dental goodie bag". For the
first time in many years I took it because I was out of
toothpaste and I knew there would be a little one in the
bag. But I had enough of my favorite brand of
toothpaste so I did not use the freebee. What will I do
with the "dental goodie bag"?
![Page 13: Fr. Greg's Pastoral Letter for the Harbinger: February 2017 · Because the symbols and mantras on prayer flags are sacred, they should be treated with respect. They should not be](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050503/5f9551cb6d25f82b58512a29/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Northman Den at the Middle School. Do these kids have
toothbrushes, paste and floss? Maybe some, but
certainly not all. Are they sharing a toothbrush?
Perhaps.
When you go to the dentist, do you take the goodie
bag? And use it?! Tell the dentist or hygienist why you
would like a few extra bags. I suspect they get them
from manufactures to help market the product, and the
dentist probably has little or no costs involved.
Close up the bag and bring it to the church. Find the
Scrounger's Barrel and drop it in. Then the Northmen
Den folks will accumulate the various items and make
them available, as needed, for the kids.
OK, that is Scrounge One.
Scrounge Two . . . when you travel, what do you do with
the amenities you find in the hotel/motel room? You
know, the wrapped soap, little bottles of shampoo,
conditioners and body lotion that you do not use? Carry
with you two gallon size zip lock plastic bags. Put all of
the soap products in one of the bags.
And the other bag . . . did you use all of the tea bags
and instant coffee packs, sugar and creamers? If not,
put those in the other zip lock bag. When you get back
to Emmanuel, find the Scrounger's Barrel, close your
bag securely, and drop it in the Scrounger's Barrel.
What else can you scrounge that would be beneficial to
the Northmen Den customers? Think out of the box,
but don't raid the buffet table at a restaurant for the
crackers, etc. That is not fair to the restaurant!
Do you buy something that is "Buy One, Get One
Free"? It that something they can use?
Can you afford to pay the full price for one and give the
other to the kids? I bet you can!
Cordially,
First Scrounger
