What Secret Purple Wisdom
I have a wonderful bed of ferns on the
north side of my home. One day there will
be a green curl breaking through the soil;
the next day there will be a grand and
elegant frond doing a stately dance in
the breeze. What is it that impels such life,
such growth? The genetic structure, the
soil, the sun, the shade, the warmth, the
light, all these… and yet the life itself:
where does it come from? From where
comes the gurgle of a baby’s first laugh,
the catching of our breath in awe at the
sight of the Milky Way, a puppy’s wild
frolic? Where does all this life, this energy
come from?
It comes from the unseen pulse of the
universe, the life of the world, which is of
course, God. In Acts 17:28, Paul writes, “In
God we live and move and have our
being.” There is no part of us that is
separate from God, no part of ourselves
that is not animated by the very presence
of God. “Bidden or unbidden,” Carl Jung
wrote, “God is with us.” And all we are
called to do is to open our eyes and see.
I thought Luci Shaw’s words might help
our eyes open. The poem is called “What
Secret Purple Wisdom.”
Summer Blessings,
Pastor Hawkins
And moves the worm along in his blind
tunnel?
What secret purple wisdom tells the iris
edges
To unfold in frills? What juiced and
emerald thrill
Urges the sap until the bud resolves
Its tight riddle? What irresistible
command
Unfurls this cloud above this greening
hill
Or one more wave- its spreading foam
and foilAcross the flats of sand? What minor
thrust
Of energy issues up from humus in a
froth
Of ferns? Delicate as a laser, it filigrees
The snow, the stars. Listen close- What
silver sound
Thaws winter into spring? Speaks
clamor into singing?
Gives love for loneliness? It must be this
Un-terrestrial pulse, deeper than space,
that holds you
In its deep embrace, resounds in your
echo hearts.
-Luci Shaw

THE NON-CANONICAL SCRIPTURES…
These are ancient texts used by the early church that aren’t
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 Christ’s
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!

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.
August Fun!
Order SCRIP August 2nd
Place your orders with Laurie Buckett- they will be
delivered to you the following Sunday. SCRIP cards are available
for purchases of gas, groceries, big-box stores and most anything
you can imagine. You pay face value for the cards and
Emmanuel retains a percentage of each purchase. It’s an easy
way to give the church a financial helping hand!
Pastor Nansi uses gift cards to help out those in need with gas
and groceries ($20 increments), so if you can spare a few more
dollars, don’t forget her Care Fund Ministry...our supply is
diminished.
The Emmanuel UCC Rummage AND
Bake Sale is Coming on
Saturday, August 29th!
The time is drawing close! This is our BIGGEST fundraiser of the
year, so please help in whatever way you are able to. Watch for
a sign-up sheet to be posted soon!
Donate!
Prior to Sunday, August 9th: Place your items in the garage. If
you have items that are delicate or fabric, please place
them under the rectangular tables against the wall on the
Parking lot side in Fellowship Hall for Kristen to deal with.
On or After Sunday, August 9th: Smaller items can be brought
to the last two rooms on the left hand side in the Sunday
School wing. Larger items can be put in the garage.
Baked goods or other homemade items can be delivered
starting Sunday, August 23rd up through the day of the sale.
Use your best judgment on how long they can sit. Please, no
items that need refrigeration and pre-package all items in a
sellable wrapping or container.
We can only accept flat-screened monitors or televisions for
donation. This is because Goodwill and other agencies
have stopped accepting tube style screens and TV’s.
Please no adult clothing other than coats, shoes, purses or
hats.
approval. We shared our possessions so as to join a group. We
donated our money to feel less guilty. We shared our time
because it was expected.
One needs to look at giving, not as an obligation but as an
opportunity. To do this we must first look at the blessings that
God has given us. We aren’t born seeing God’s blessings. It’s
easy to look past all that the Lord gives us and focus on the
negative. Taking inventory of the blessings in our lives sometimes
needs practice. Illnesses, financial hardships, discord and
disappointments crowd our minds and make it difficult to focus
on God’s goodness. Through prayer, God will help us open our
eyes and see the blessings He has bestowed upon us. The
blessing might not be as tangible as money, a nice house or
good health. It could be the ability to keep a house clean or
being good at the work that you do.
Once you realize the many blessings that God has bestowed
upon you, you then can cultivate an attitude of gratitude and
find opportunities to give as a response to God’s love. With
giving, a bonus will follow – you will find yourself more joyful in
your life. Look for chances to share your time, talents or gifts and
gain a generous and joyous heart.

Finding Joy Through Generosity
How does one cultivate a generous
heart? We are not born with generosity.
Think of your youth. In our earliest days
we were quite demanding, needing
much and taking what was given. As we
grew older we learned to share, but, at
times, reluctantly. We gave to get

What We Heard, Saw and Learned At The
53rd Wisconsin UCC Conference:
Keeping in touch…
We thank Marian Speerless and Stephen Turley for representing
Emmanuel at the WI Conference Annual Meeting in Green Lake.
The conference was held at the Green Lake Conference Center,
June 12- 14th. We arrived at noon and attended the Key Note
Speaker address that afternoon by Eric Elnes, Ph.D. Dr. Elnes is an
author, minister, and Internet television host. He said that he
hasn’t been this excited about being a member of the United
Church of Christ in over thirty years. He is excited because he
feels because of our struggles that we are now in the best
position to enter a “wide and wondrous clearing in the heart of
life’s Dark Woods, that some are calling The Great
Convergence”.
We attended the worship and installation of Franz Rigert, our
new Conference Minister.
We learned about CHHSM (Council for Health and Human
Services Ministries). It consists of 73 corporate members and
operates in 363 communities in the United States. CHHSM
provides help to children, youth, families and seniors with
disabilities and mental illness. CHHSM advances healing and
services through the ministries of Jesus Christ.
We attended two workshops. One by Dr.John Whitcomb in private
practice of Functional and Anti-Aging Medicine in Brookfield, WI.
“How We Got Fat (AKA, How to Get Unfat). Very exciting and new
information. (Lots of info. we can share)
“New Wine, New Wineskins: A Turnaround Story” with Pastor Kerri
Parker, McFarland UCC.. With a worship team this church went
from “comfortable internal, to uncomfortable external”. From
“we’ve always done it this way to a messy church”. Furniture for
special needs members, rocking chairs, and recliners. Children
help Pastor Kerri serve communion, they abandoned Sunday
School and they are just now after three years, reinstating
confirmation.
They advocate a “messy church” rather than a perfect one.
Their attendance has improved a great deal. For more info.
[email protected] or Pastor Kerri Parker 608-838-9322
We learned more about UCC’s Outdoor Ministry Camps at Moon
Beach, St. Germain and Pilgrim Center at Ripon. Sometimes
people in need of the ministries of Jesus Christ can be reached
more easily here. There is a program CampAwesome for families
impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorders that operates year
round. Their mantra is Outdoor Ministry Matters. They currently
have a CAMPital Campaign to raise money to IMPROVE, BUILD
AND GROW.
Sunday we voted on the budget of $2,153,327, which passed. It
is only about $1,000 more than last year. Next year UCC’s focus
will be on Social Justice.
Before we left, Stephen and I attended a short Healing Service
by Pastor Franz Rigert, We were anointed with oil, prayed over
and we all sang Amazing Grace. It was very lovely, inspirational
and we did feel physically and mentally – healed!
Thank you for letting us attend this conference. We both felt
very blessed that we belong to United Church of Christ.

What Secret Purple Wisdom
I have a wonderful bed of ferns on the
north side of my home. One day there will
be a green curl breaking through the soil;
the next day there will be a grand and
elegant frond doing a stately dance in
the breeze. What is it that impels such life,
such growth? The genetic structure, the
soil, the sun, the shade, the warmth, the
light, all these… and yet the life itself:
where does it come from? From where
comes the gurgle of a baby’s first laugh,
the catching of our breath in awe at the
sight of the Milky Way, a puppy’s wild
frolic? Where does all this life, this energy
come from?
It comes from the unseen pulse of the
universe, the life of the world, which is of
course, God. In Acts 17:28, Paul writes, “In
God we live and move and have our
being.” There is no part of us that is
separate from God, no part of ourselves
that is not animated by the very presence
of God. “Bidden or unbidden,” Carl Jung
wrote, “God is with us.” And all we are
called to do is to open our eyes and see.
I thought Luci Shaw’s words might help
our eyes open. The poem is called “What
Secret Purple Wisdom.”
Summer Blessings,
Pastor Hawkins
And moves the worm along in his blind
tunnel?
What secret purple wisdom tells the iris
edges
To unfold in frills? What juiced and
emerald thrill
Urges the sap until the bud resolves
Its tight riddle? What irresistible
command
Unfurls this cloud above this greening
hill
Or one more wave- its spreading foam
and foilAcross the flats of sand? What minor
thrust
Of energy issues up from humus in a
froth
Of ferns? Delicate as a laser, it filigrees
The snow, the stars. Listen close- What
silver sound
Thaws winter into spring? Speaks
clamor into singing?
Gives love for loneliness? It must be this
Un-terrestrial pulse, deeper than space,
that holds you
In its deep embrace, resounds in your
echo hearts.
-Luci Shaw

THE NON-CANONICAL SCRIPTURES…
These are ancient texts used by the early church that aren’t
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 Christ’s
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!

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.
August Fun!
Order SCRIP August 2nd
Place your orders with Laurie Buckett- they will be
delivered to you the following Sunday. SCRIP cards are available
for purchases of gas, groceries, big-box stores and most anything
you can imagine. You pay face value for the cards and
Emmanuel retains a percentage of each purchase. It’s an easy
way to give the church a financial helping hand!
Pastor Nansi uses gift cards to help out those in need with gas
and groceries ($20 increments), so if you can spare a few more
dollars, don’t forget her Care Fund Ministry...our supply is
diminished.
The Emmanuel UCC Rummage AND
Bake Sale is Coming on
Saturday, August 29th!
The time is drawing close! This is our BIGGEST fundraiser of the
year, so please help in whatever way you are able to. Watch for
a sign-up sheet to be posted soon!
Donate!
Prior to Sunday, August 9th: Place your items in the garage. If
you have items that are delicate or fabric, please place
them under the rectangular tables against the wall on the
Parking lot side in Fellowship Hall for Kristen to deal with.
On or After Sunday, August 9th: Smaller items can be brought
to the last two rooms on the left hand side in the Sunday
School wing. Larger items can be put in the garage.
Baked goods or other homemade items can be delivered
starting Sunday, August 23rd up through the day of the sale.
Use your best judgment on how long they can sit. Please, no
items that need refrigeration and pre-package all items in a
sellable wrapping or container.
We can only accept flat-screened monitors or televisions for
donation. This is because Goodwill and other agencies
have stopped accepting tube style screens and TV’s.
Please no adult clothing other than coats, shoes, purses or
hats.
approval. We shared our possessions so as to join a group. We
donated our money to feel less guilty. We shared our time
because it was expected.
One needs to look at giving, not as an obligation but as an
opportunity. To do this we must first look at the blessings that
God has given us. We aren’t born seeing God’s blessings. It’s
easy to look past all that the Lord gives us and focus on the
negative. Taking inventory of the blessings in our lives sometimes
needs practice. Illnesses, financial hardships, discord and
disappointments crowd our minds and make it difficult to focus
on God’s goodness. Through prayer, God will help us open our
eyes and see the blessings He has bestowed upon us. The
blessing might not be as tangible as money, a nice house or
good health. It could be the ability to keep a house clean or
being good at the work that you do.
Once you realize the many blessings that God has bestowed
upon you, you then can cultivate an attitude of gratitude and
find opportunities to give as a response to God’s love. With
giving, a bonus will follow – you will find yourself more joyful in
your life. Look for chances to share your time, talents or gifts and
gain a generous and joyous heart.

Finding Joy Through Generosity
How does one cultivate a generous
heart? We are not born with generosity.
Think of your youth. In our earliest days
we were quite demanding, needing
much and taking what was given. As we
grew older we learned to share, but, at
times, reluctantly. We gave to get

Please check your bookshelves and maybe frequent
some rummage sales for pre-school through high school
books. Social Concerns is collecting them in the big green
tub near the kiosk. The children of the Prader-Willi Homes
of Oconnomowoc will be the recipients. Some of our
congregants work at the homes and will tell you
the children who have this brain-based disorder just love

What We Heard, Saw and Learned At The
53rd Wisconsin UCC Conference:
Keeping in touch…
We thank Marian Speerless and Stephen Turley for representing
Emmanuel at the WI Conference Annual Meeting in Green Lake.
The conference was held at the Green Lake Conference Center,
June 12- 14th. We arrived at noon and attended the Key Note
Speaker address that afternoon by Eric Elnes, Ph.D. Dr. Elnes is an
author, minister, and Internet television host. He said that he
hasn’t been this excited about being a member of the United
Church of Christ in over thirty years. He is excited because he
feels because of our struggles that we are now in the best
position to enter a “wide and wondrous clearing in the heart of
life’s Dark Woods, that some are calling The Great
Convergence”.
We attended the worship and installation of Franz Rigert, our
new Conference Minister.
We learned about CHHSM (Council for Health and Human
Services Ministries). It consists of 73 corporate members and
operates in 363 communities in the United States. CHHSM
provides help to children, youth, families and seniors with
disabilities and mental illness. CHHSM advances healing and
services through the ministries of Jesus Christ.
We attended two workshops. One by Dr.John Whitcomb in private
practice of Functional and Anti-Aging Medicine in Brookfield, WI.
“How We Got Fat (AKA, How to Get Unfat). Very exciting and new
information. (Lots of info. we can share)
“New Wine, New Wineskins: A Turnaround Story” with Pastor Kerri
Parker, McFarland UCC.. With a worship team this church went
from “comfortable internal, to uncomfortable external”. From
“we’ve always done it this way to a messy church”. Furniture for
special needs members, rocking chairs, and recliners. Children
help Pastor Kerri serve communion, they abandoned Sunday
School and they are just now after three years, reinstating
confirmation.
They advocate a “messy church” rather than a perfect one.
Their attendance has improved a great deal. For more info.
[email protected] or Pastor Kerri Parker 608-838-9322
We learned more about UCC’s Outdoor Ministry Camps at Moon
Beach, St. Germain and Pilgrim Center at Ripon. Sometimes
people in need of the ministries of Jesus Christ can be reached
more easily here. There is a program CampAwesome for families
impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorders that operates year
round. Their mantra is Outdoor Ministry Matters. They currently
have a CAMPital Campaign to raise money to IMPROVE, BUILD
AND GROW.
Sunday we voted on the budget of $2,153,327, which passed. It
is only about $1,000 more than last year. Next year UCC’s focus
will be on Social Justice.
Before we left, Stephen and I attended a short Healing Service
by Pastor Franz Rigert, We were anointed with oil, prayed over
and we all sang Amazing Grace. It was very lovely, inspirational
and we did feel physically and mentally – healed!
Thank you for letting us attend this conference. We both felt
very blessed that we belong to United Church of Christ.
