Advent / Christmas Schedule

The season of Advent will soon begin. To see a schedule of our Advent and Christmas events, please click here.

Open Door

There is a great need for winter outerwear, including coats, jackets, hats, mitts, and boots for adults and children. Please ensure that they are clean and in good repair. You may drop them at the church during office hours. The end of November will be the cut-off date. If you have questions, please call Lorraine at 905-821-1741.

Lunch - Open Door 

EMUC will be providing lunch for approximately 50 patrons of the Open Door on Thursday, November 23. As in the past we will provide pizzas. They have requested that we provide some salads, fruit, and a sweet of some kind (cookie, square, loaf). I am looking for 5 or 6 people to make a salad, 3 or 4 people to provide fruit (cut up apples, pears, oranges) and 3 or 4 people to bake. I will also need help that day with delivery and serving. If you can help, please call Lorraine at 905-821-1741. Thank you.

The EMUC Little Book House is in need of children’s books

for the Kids Korner. If you have any books that you would

like to donate, please drop them off at the Book House

or leave them in the church office. Thank you.

Stewardship - 2024 Donations

As part of our 2023 Stewardship Program we are asking you to prayerfully review your givings to EMUC. If you wish to change your donation amount or to start a regular PAR donation, you are asked to contact our Offering Secretary, Mike Ogilvie, at donations@emuc.ca.



Your ongoing support makes the programs of EMUC possible.

Finance Committee

International Human Rights Day

For several years the Interfaith Peace and Justice Committee has hosted Amnesty International Write for Rights events to mark International Human Rights Day on December 10. We write letters to government officials and others in positions of authority, in support of and in solidarity with groups and individuals who are being unjustly persecuted. Some are environmental activists; some are critical of an autocratic regime; and still others are in danger because of their sexuality or gender identity. There are also petitions to sign and opportunities to send cards or letters of support to individuals we are advocating for. More information is available on the Amnesty International website.

This year we are looking for your support. If you have any questions or are interested in helping organize this year’s Write for Rights event at EMUC, please contact Debby Sturgeon ( sturgs4@roger.com )

Special Christmas Outreach

As in previous years EMUC will be helping those less fortunate in our community. This year we are supporting the Deacon’s Cupboard. "You may lend your support by contributing with cash, or a cheque payable to the church or an e-transfer to emucdonation@outlook.com, with a notation that the donation is in support of our Special Christmas Outreach" appeal.

We ask that your donation be in no later than Friday, December 1^st.

Advent Nativity Display and Tea Room on December 2 and 3

If you have a nativity set, and would like it to be included in the display for our Advent Nativity event, please contact Theresa Morris teachertheresa@hotmail.com or Cathy Kiteley ckiteley@aol.com or the office by November 19.

A volunteer sign up sheet to help with the day is on the bulletin board in the narthex.
