EMUC Striders and Hyde’s Mill Hollow of the Credit River 

On Sunday, October 1, the Hikers continue their saga by setting foot in an area of the Credit River renowned for the Chinook, Coho and Atlantic Salmon migration to spawn.

Carpooling will depart the EMUC lot at 11:45 a.m. We’ll park along Sir Monty Drive next to Tillsdown Park and be ready to set off on the walk at 12:15 p.m.

Below is a map of the area.

Circle of Friends

There has been an interest in starting up the Circle of Friends group in person at the church. The Zoom participants will continue on the second Wednesday of the month. If you are interested in meeting in person, perhaps on another Wednesday afternoon, please email Patti King at LCvicechair@EMUC.ca.

Thank you,

Finance Update 

As we approach Thanksgiving the Finance Committee would like to thank you for your ongoing support of EMUC.

As of August 31, givings to local operations were very close to budget. We are however projecting a $3,000 year-end under-budget amount in givings due to cancellations by several PAR givers who have left the area. Fortunately projected rental revenue will be $6,000 over budget mitigating the decrease in givings. Our year-end projected revenue deficit is $33,000 compared to a budgeted amount of $35,000.

In the projected givings we have included Special Thanksgiving Offerings of $2,900 .In view of the above projected deficit, it is important that we meet or exceed this target. Please give, as you are able, using the in-church envelopes, online using emucdonation@outlook.com or by mail.
