    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 Ive 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. Hovring there, Ive chased the shouting wind along and flung

    My eager craft through footless halls of air Up, up, the long delirious, burning blue

    Ive topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace,

    Where never lark or even eagle flew-

    And, while with silent, lifting mind Ive tread The high untrespassed sanctity of space

    Put out my hand and touched the face of

    God.

    Blessings, Pastor Hawkins

    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 Pikes Peak in Colorado. She saw it all, one nation, one land, one people. And on the

    pinnacle of Pikes 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 well be spending the summer eating.....

    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 Gails 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

    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, childrens 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.

    MISSIONS OF EMMANUEL

    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.

    THE NON-CANONICAL SCRIPTURES These are ancient texts used by the early church that

    arent 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 Christs 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 hes 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 clubs adviser, Dr. Subhangi Stalder. He also received the Lynn Knight scholarship and the Founders scholarship from

    Carroll University. Here is a portion of Dr. Stalders 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 presidents and treasures 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!!!
