This Sunday we are together in person for a special gathering in the FELLOWSHIP HALL AT EMMANUEL MENNONITE CHURCH and simultaneously on Zoom.
Sarah Pickering will be speaking starting from the Lectionary passages this week: Zechariah 7:8-14; Psalm 10:1-14; James 2:14-19, 24-26; John 5:25-29
Coffee will be ready to go at 10:20am (and again in the coffee break). Please help us reduce waste by bringing your own cup or mug.
If you are joining on zoom we'll let you in at around 10:20 so we can make sure it is all working for you and so we can visit for a few minutes ahead of getting going at 10:30.
Contact the office for an invite.
Philip & Brenda Janz and Steve Mitchinson will lead our sung worship portion and if you want to sing along live the lyrics are on our sung worship page.
If you can’t join us at the time there is a playlist on YouTube or Spotify (these are currently Kevin's list from Sept 14)

We will be celebrating Pride Sunday on the last Sunday in September. Stacey (see below) will be our guest speaker that week. There will be cake and other fun extras. We hope you can join us.
A little back story: On Sunday, October 3, 2021 we marked our churches decision to be an inclusive, welcoming and affirming community of people who are making it our business to live out our faith in love.
Stacey Chomiak is an LGBTQ Christian Speaker, artist, author and art director and was our guest speaker and we loved hearing her story.
If you were not able to join us that week, here's a recording of the gathering. It was wonderful. You can watch on Vimeo or find that episode by date on our podcast.
