Bishop's Visitation at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in San Angelo

Emmanuel, San Angelo, was privileged to welcome Bishop Scott and Mrs. Kathy Mayer on the weekend of the 3rd Sunday of Easter. The Emmanuel Vestry enjoyed Saturday evening dinner and fellowship with the Bishop and Kathy at the famous Miss Hattie's Restaurant and Cathouse Lounge on historic Concho Avenue on Saturday evening. On Sunday morning, the entire congregation enjoyed the Bishop's FED (Faith, Education, & Development) Talk, "Perspectives From the Purple Haze," during which he spoke about where sermons come from, and encouraged those who listen to sermons to listen for the Good News, and those who offer sermons to offer the Good News. The high point of the day was The Holy Eucharist with Confirmation and Reception where six were Confirmed and two were received. The newly Confirmed are Haley Hawkins, Kadyn Kevil, Pete Mireles, Lynn Sonnenberg, and Oakley Arledge. Hoa Thi Le and Brandon Halfmann are newly Received from the Roman Catholic Church, and happily getting accustomed to their new Via Media home.
