Services
We extend a warm welcome to our Sunday morning worship which commences at 11:00 a.m.
(Summer services begin at 10:00 a.m.) When entering the Church, you will be warmly met by one of our
ushers who will hand you a bulletin (our order of service) and introduce
you to a Greeter. Our Greeters will answer any questions that you may have and
show you our Welcome table which has information about the United Church and
Emmanuel. Wherever you choose to sit, you will find a hymnbook, Voices United
(VU) and the supplementary hymn book, More Voices (MV) available. Bibles
are located at the end of each pew.
The service begins with the entry of the Senior Choir and the lighting of the
Christ candle. Prayer, song, the reading of the scripture and sharing our
gifts (offering) follows as well as a few minutes with the minister and the
children.
The children/youth are invited to leave for Sunday School. We are then treated to uplifting music by one of our choirs before listening to a meaningful sermon from the Minister.
After prayers, the announcements on the life and work of the church and
upcoming events are shared. The service closes with a hymn and the
blessing that sends us out to live faithfully in the days ahead.
We meet after the service in the Church Hall for “Sip & Talk”, a time for refreshments and casual conversation. Please come and join us. All are welcome.
Children are always welcome during our services. If they become fussy, crayons & colouring material are available in the Narthex to help Mom & Dad relax & enjoy the service.
