This Week at EMUC

UPDATE on WORSHIP SERVICES

At its September 15 meeting, the Leadership Circle decided that EMUC will continue to conduct Sunday services on the Zoom platform until the end of October. There are still many unknowns regarding the return to school, a second wave of the virus, and the flu season. We have seen an increase in the number of COVID19 cases recently. The safety of the congregation is the priority. The possibility of returning to the building for worship will be reassessed again at the October 20 Leadership Circle meeting.

Sunday October 4:

10:00 a.m.: Online Worship and Communion led by Rev. Kathi

Monday October 5:

7:00 p.m.: Bible Study via Zoom

Wednesday October 7:

6:45 p.m.: Prayer Service via Zoom

What's Coming!

World Wide Communion October 4

Worldwide Communion is this Sunday Oct 4. Traditionally at our World-Wide Communion Services we celebrate using different breads from around the world. This year celebrating via Zoom, it will not be as easy to do this. Therefore, to still help make it special, we are asking each of you to bring a different bread to the zoom service. This bread may be one that is significant to your heritage, e.g. corn bread, rice cake, pita etc. or one that is different from what you usually use, e.g. shortbread, rye bread etc. Thank you!

Office Hours: Please note updated hours.

Tina will be in the office on Mondays and Tuesdays from noon until 4:00 pm, Thursdays and Fridays from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.

She can be at the church on an “as needed” basis on other days, but this needs to be arranged in advance with an email or with a message left with the office.

Photos for Thanksgiving Sunday AV

For our AV presentation for Thanksgiving Sunday we would like to do something special. We are asking anyone who has images /pictures showing what you are thankful for, to submit them in electronic format to the church office, either on a memory stick or sent via email to office@emuc.ca. (Examples could include your garden, flowers, trees, your family, your pet, etc.) We will try to use these in our AV presentation. (Note: Pictures shouldn’t be too dark.) If you have any questions contact Sylvia Arnold at 905-820-4301 or call the church office at 905-820-9466. Pictures should be received by Friday, October 2.

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.

Thank you to everyone for your ongoing support.
