100th Anniversary Celebrations
On Sunday June 15th 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).

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.

Other services are being planned:

If this is a conversation you would like to be part of, contact Ron by calling the church office at 613-733-0437 or email Ron at pastoralcare@emmanuelunited.ca .
