To all members of our Emmanuel United Church Family
Good day to my Emmanuel family. Many of you have been asking about Don Uhryniw. A mutually agreeable and amicable decision was made between Don and Council to end the Pastoral Relationship as of February 28th, 2021.
I would like to take this opportunity, on behalf of your Council and Council Executive, to thank Don for his years of service to Emmanuel United Church and wish him the very best in his future endeavours.
I would also like to thank the congregation of Emmanuel for their patience and support during this very trying past year. On February 23rd, 2020, when I took over as Chair of Council, certainly I, nor anyone else could envision the coming year and the many trials we would be facing. My hope is that we can now move forward with renewed energy and hope.
In that spirit, I am very pleased to announce that Reverend Bryan Ransom has agreed to a new contract as our part-time interim Pastoral Minister until December 31st, 2021. This is very good news indeed as I feel it gives Emmanuel a sense of stability and continuity and I would like to thank Bryan for his continued support of Emmanuel as we start the next stages of healing, growth and future envisioning.
Trusting in His care,
Patti Shaw
Chair of Council
Hello. My name is Geoff Hewitson and I’m the 1st Vice Chair of the Peterborough and District Pathway of Fame. This year one of our eight inductees into the Pathway is George Cox. Born in 1840 George Cox became a wealthy business man that helped build our community. He was also instrumental in the founding and building of George St. United Church in Peterborough. An induction ceremony will be held at Showplace Performance Centre on Saturday September 19th at 10 am. Would someone from your church be interested in representing him at the ceremony and receiving his framed certificate.
Thank you
Hello, I am one of the Creating Space board members running the pop up outside Emmanuel church on Thursdays and I have to say we have really enjoyed our time here. We also have a long history together since our drop in started a few years ago with Seeds of Change in the music room.
We have had the unfortunate news that we are not going to have a home at PACE with Kawartha arts guild anymore due to the restricting of people in the schools for this year and are again in search of a new home.
We are wondering if there is any space within your church to house us? We are looking for a place to hold one drop in a week as well as store our supplies. Please let me know if this is something Emmanuel might be interested in supporting.
Warm regards
Michelle Martin
Treasurer and board member, Creating Space Community Arts Studio
Do you have a prayer chain?
Hi Bonnie. Not at the moment but our UCW women could certainly put your request in their prayers list.
