Communion during Influenza Type A (H1N1)
It is requested that communicants when receiving the wine at Eucharist should intinct, by partially dipping the wafer (not the fingers) in the chalice, instead of sipping.
Sunday 27th June 2010 - The Fourth Sunday after Trinity.
Welcome to Emmanuel Church and especially if you are a visitor or have recently moved to the Hong Kong. We hope you will soon feel part of our community. We have gifts of friendship and love to share with you and we invite you to be our brother/sister in God's family. We know you will make new friends Emmanuel; we know that because we have all made new friends here and we try to love and care for each other as Christ asked us to do. So, come and pray, worship and learn, and let us grow together in the faith of Christ and discover more of God's amazing love for us!
Fr Nigel.
Today's colour is Green. Our worship today uses The Family Eucharist for Trinity. The readings are from Lectionary Year C.
