100th Anniversary of the UCC

100^th Anniversary Celebrations

On Sunday June 15^th at 11:00 there will be a service of celebration for churches in the Eastern Ontario region.  It will be held at the EY Centre (near the airport).  This service will be livestreamed for those who do not wish to attend in person and will be 90 minutes long. There will be NO service at Emmanuel that morning.

There will be an opportunity for interested people to participate in a massed choir.  This group will meet prior to the service to rehearse together.  If you wish to be part of this group (even if you are not a part of the Emmanuel choir), contact Joan Foster-Jones for more information.

If you are interested in sharing transportation to the event (either car-pooling or on a bus) please contact Phyllis MacRae or Joan Foster-Jones.

A group of quilters in Kemptville will be creating a special 100^th anniversary quilt to be used at the service as well as subsequent regional events.  A block representing Emmanuel (our church logo) has been sent to be included in this quilt.

Other services are being planned:

• June 8^th – there will be a national service livestreamed from Gower Street United Church in St. John’s NL.
• June 10^th – a service will be televised on Vision TV with participation from congregations all over the country.
