Harvest Day 2008

This year's Harvest Day, November 9, began with a big breakfast prepared by members of the congregation. The main service included a special rededication and blessing of the recently-restored "Emmanuel" stained glass window above the altar. Several relatives of Petronella S. Thomas, in whose memory the window was given to the church, were present at the ceremony. As was the case last year, the service featured folk music from Emmanuel's own "Harvest Band": Randy Hamblett, Matthew Poteat, Mary Evans Lott, and Sarah Groves-Humphries. After the service, members of the PAX youth group gathered outside in the Columbarium, where they had recently planted a copious number of tulip bulbs that will make for a beautiful spring next year.
