  • Christmas Poinsettias

    Christmas Poinsettias

    Presented by M&P Committee

    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.

  • “Act/Fast” Book Study

    “Act/Fast” Book Study

    In our New Creed, we are called “to live with respect in Creation.” And yet, the current ecological crisis is reaching a breaking point. How can we, as followers of Jesus, make a difference in our environment?

    Join Rev’d Tom during Lent, staring on Tuesday, February 20th, for some discussions on how we can deepen our love for Creation and take meaningful difference, guided by the book “Act/Fast: Spiritual Practices for a Climate in Crisis“. Contact Rev’d Tom for more information or to reserve a copy of the book. The book will be $15.00, and subsidies are available for those who need it.

  • Messy Play

    Messy Play

    Is your family looking for a community of Jesus-seeking people, but you’re a little wary of what “church membership” means? Have you ever wanted to talk with your kids about God, religion, or other big questions, but didn’t know where to begin? Are you looking for an open-minded place to talk about family and faith with other young families? If so, join us on the first Saturday of each month from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM for a time of community, stories, and play, as we look at Bible stories, the teachings of Jesus, and our church traditions and see how they affect our lives today.

    Messy Play is a union of Messy Church and Godly Play. Messy Church is a Fresh Expression of what church can be, and is for you if you want something a little less structured than a regular Sunday morning church. Godly Play is a method of hearing and integrating Scripture and church traditions into our lives, and is great for you if you’re interested in that, but don’t want to be told what to think about it.

    The best part about Messy Play? There’s lunch for everyone at noon. Looking forward to seeing you there!
