Message from the EMUC Reopening Committee

Although Ontario is moving from avoiding the virus to managing it, we are still some time away from fully opening our building. The EMUC Reopening Committee recognize that some essential people require limited access to the building and a screening process has been implemented. Anybody entering the building will be required to read the screening questionnaire posted on the office door and, once inside they will be directed to complete the Entry Tracking Form. Further reopening plans are under development and we be communicating more at a later date.

24/7 Hospice Palliative Helpline

In light of the ongoing pandemic, on April 27 Heart House Hospice (your local community hospice) launched a 24/7 Hospice Palliative Helpline 905-667-1865 to offer confidential and free of charge counselling services to those who are affected by a palliative diagnosis, end-of-life, or Covid-19.

Donations to EMUC

Some of you have asked how you can make donations to operations, mission and service, the benevolent fund, and the Deacon’s Cupboard. You can donate through Canada Helps by going to www.emuc.ca or by mailing a cheque to EMUC at 3010 The Collegeway, Mississauga, ON., L5L 4X9. Please mark the envelope "Attention Envelope Secretary".

Please note that Deacon's Cupboard would prefer to receive financial donations rather than actual food donations because the church remains closed so that managing food is difficult. The Cupboard is giving only vouchers to its guests. They are open only on Wednesdays and not on Monday evenings for the duration of the pandemic.

Note: Broadview Magazine is celebrating its One Year anniversary since making major changes. Go to its website using the link under Contact Us to make a celebratory donation.

Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support.
