  • The Immanuel Messenger July/August 2020
    The Immanuel Messenger July/August 2020 Invitation to Divine Service at Immanuel July 2020 announcement: We are pleased to announce our new schedule of two Sunday services. We continue to offer audio recording and live streaming. As we make our private decisions about how to attend church, while missing the presence of the entire congregation at this difficult time in history, Pastor Colageo asks us to remember “the familiar exhortation, that those who gather not question the faith of those who abstain, and that those who abstain not question the love of those who gather. - Let us make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Ephesians 4:3.” Sunday – Divine Service (without Holy Communion) Each week, please assess your health readiness to attend as described below. All attendees – both Immanuel members and new guests -- Please sign up weekly by notifying Pastor Colageo at [email protected] by noon on Saturday so he can include everyone in the assigned seating chart arranged for social distancing. It is far more preferable that guests sign up than walk-in. 8 a.m. – Attendees wear masks for the whole service. 10 a.m. -- Attendees enter and move around wearing masks but remove masks when seated if they wish. This schedule allows for a “maintenance hour” to clean between services. We have hired a sanitizing contractor who will do their first sanitizing on Saturday night for the 8 a.m. service, then between services from 9 to 9:45 a.m. for the 10 a.m. service, then will be back on Monday to sanitize again for the Tuesday Communion services.

James Brauer and Kent Burreson In 2006 two new hymnals appeared among Lutherans in North America: the Lutheran 1 Service Book (LSB) for The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod F and Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW), “commended for use in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America” and “approved for use in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and…commended…as its 2 primary worship resource.” F ELW is the successor to a hymnal that was a joint project of North American church bodies cooperating in the Inter-Lutheran Commission on Worship 3 (ILCW) which produced the Lutheran Book of Worship (LBW, 1978).F F From this LBW 4 project came an “LCMS version,” Lutheran Worship (LW, 1982),F F incorporating much of the material that was jointly owned. Though the LBW did not turn out to be a single book for all Lutherans as some had hoped, the work of the ILCW did identify and prepare a shared 5 tradition of liturgies and hymns.

The gap in this series, the volume on the clergy of the Middle Colonies, was proving such a great hindrance to our revision of Evans' American Bibliography, that we have decided to print this volume for our own use, and to publish it in order to share it with others. The first volume of this series. The Colonial Clergy and the Colonial Churches of New England (Lancaster, 1936), is out of print. The Colonial Clergy of Maryland, Delaware, and Georgia (Lancaster, 1950), and The Colonial Clergy of Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina (Boston, 1955) may be obtained of the author (at Dublin, New Hampshire) for $3 a volume.
