Join Us for Our
Sunday Worship Service
at 10:30am
Emmanuel United Church shall be a caring, welcoming faith community, nurturing spiritual life and sharing God's love and grace as experienced in Jesus Christ.
March 24, 2019: Third Sunday of Lent “GOD IS GRACIOUS”
Re-affirmation of Faith: Are you interested in re-affirming your faith or becoming a member of Emmanuel United Church? An information session will be held in Roni’s office at 9:15 am; Sunday March 31st. Please speak to Rev. Roni.
The Worship Committee is actively seeking a minimum of three members who are regularly able to attend meetings the second Wednesday of each month, 5:30 pm. If you like decorating it would be an asset. A willingness to help coordinate readers would also be a great gift to offer. Other tasks that involve emails and phone follow-up also exist. We are a fun group and we work in a healthy manner. It is not uncommon for us to share food or snacks during our meetings. Worship was named as the top value during our recent strategic planning process. You can visit our next Meeting on Wednesday April 3rd, 5:30 pm, where we will begin the process of planning for Palm Sunday and Easter.
Thank you, Rev. Roni
