Thank you for helping those in need in our community. Your support is very much appreciated.
Winter Coat Drive – Adult Size Only
January winter coat drive for Regen has started. Do you have any gently used Adult size winter coats you no longer need? If so, please consider donating them to those in need of warm clothing this winter season. This year we are only accepting donation of coats and not any other items. Throughout January you can drop your donations off in the church coat room.
Your support is greatly appreciated to help those in need in our community during this cold winter season. God Bless.
Again this year your M&P Committee will be selling poinsettias as our annual fundraiser. We will be taking orders on three Sundays, November 17, November 24 and December 1. These lovely red or white flowers come in a 6 inch pot and are perfect for decorating your home and our church sanctuary this upcoming holiday season or as gifts.
The price is only $12.00 each and all proceeds go to support the work of our church here at Emmanuel. Traditionally the poinsettias that are ordered are used to decorate the church during Advent and may be picked up following the Christmas Eve service. For those who wish to pick up earlier, flowers will be available at the church Saturday December 7 between 10 and 11 am.
Please see Rik Aikman, Marg Benzie, Laura Fisher or Doug Houston in the hall at Sip n’ talk to place your orders. Thank you for your support.
This Christmas season we are changing the way we give to Regen. We will not be asking you to donate items like we have in past years, instead a donation tin will be put up in place of the Tin Bucket for cash and gift card donations. The funds will be given to Regen to bulk purchase the items most needed. Regen uses the power of purchase approach to buy in bulk and they can get much more for the same money that we would individually spend to purchase a few items.
In the past few years many members have said it was hard to find the size of the items requested or to get out to shop. The committee heard your concerns and decided to try this new approach. Cash donations, gift cards to Tims or McDonalds and donations through envelopes marked Christmas Gift Items, will be sent to Regen after the campaign ends on December 8th.
Thank you for your generosity and continued support for this annual campaign to help those in need in our community.
Broadview magazines (Spirituality, Justice and Ethical Living) will be delivered to your home in 2025 for the same price of $30.00. Each issue contains more pages of engaging comments. Well worth the money!
Once again we continue to follow the same collecting process- Please place your magazine renewals in an envelope with your name , address (if any changes) and marked BROADVIEW and then place on the offering plate either Sunday Nov. 17th to Dec. 29th You may mail it in to the office, bring your cheque ade payable to Emmanuel United Church or the church’s mailbox. (No coins.)
You may email me at killamjune3@hotmail.com if you want to begin subscribing or if you have any questions. Enjoy the 2025 year reading great articles, opinions and broadening your views.
Our Annual Christmas Bazaar is rapidly approaching!
We need everyone’s help to make this a success. Sign up sheets for help and items needed are posted on the bulletin board by the hall. We always need preserves, baking and cookies for the cookie walk. Help is needed Friday November 15th at 6:30pm to set up and many hands are needed the day of the bazaar to help at the various tables.
Vilia is once again creating baskets for a basket draw. If you have any items speak to her about where and when to drop them off.
All items for the nice and new, books, puzzles and children’s toys should be dropped of in the library by Sunday, November 2nd as we need time to sort and price these items. Other items can be dropped off on Friday, November 15th.
If you have any questions or wish to schedule time for a drop-off please contact Diane, Vilia, or Stefanie at Stefanie@emmanuelunited.com
