SERVICES AT EMMANUEL...

Don't forget to "fall back" this Saturday evening before you go to bed - set your clocks back one hour with the time change!

Join us this Sunday at 10 a.m. We will be partaking of communion together during worship. We will also be acknowledging Remembrance Day in this service. Please keep in mind that if you will be joining us in person, we are required to follow regulations set by the health department - check in with our greeters as you enter, wear a mask, and remember to maintain social distance. If you are feeling ill, have any symptoms of Covid, or if you are unable to attend for any other reason, we will be streaming the service online.

Families with children will be excited to note that our KidsConnect program is running again! Children will be asked to join us for the entirety of the service and check in begins at 9:45 a.m. We have an exciting new curriculum to share with you - with tools and resources to use at home - and we have moved to a new classroom location. (Check in through double doors at bottom of basement stairs.)

For any inquiries for the church office or to book an appointment, please reach out by phone or email. We thank God for your continued faithfulness. Giving options at ECC include easy in-person giving on Sundays or during the week using the secure mailbox by the front door plus additional options listed on the "Give" page on our website.

TOWN HALL MEETINGS...
Members are strongly encouraged to join us for a Town Hall Meeting this Sunday immediately following the service. A representative from Southbridge will be making a presentation and we will be joined by Mayor Bobbie Drew. An opportunity will be provided for questions and answers. All are welcome to attend. Please note that the service may be shorter to accommodate scheduling.

FOYER UPGRADES

We are getting ready to lay down the new carpet and the paint crew has given our walls a fresh touch. The transformation in the foyer is looking sharp!

You have an opportunity to be part of the transformation by purchasing a carpet tile, or 2 or 3, or even a box of 10! It would be a welcome contribution to the overall expenses of the foyer transformation! We have provided special envelopes for your donation or online you can mark your donation "Building Fund."
