Community Outreach is Important to Us

Downtown Mission meals: Emmanuel United Church sponsors and prepares a meal for guests at the Downtown Mission. Currently, we are doing this by preparing a sandwich lunch for 100 people and sending them to the DTM.
We have a monthly outreach project, assisting local community organizations.
Community events: Emmanuel participates in community events such as Open Streets, Pride parade etc.

We periodically have small group bible studies, as well as our weekly worship service.
We have an active Sunday School program for youth.

Emmanuel Choir: Under the direction of Nicholas Morvay, our choir meets weekly and prepares music for the weekly service. Our choir loves to sing and is involved in a range of types of music. We welcome new members.
Music Events: We host music events when many community singers join our choir for special music. This year we were blessed to have 60 adult singers, the Essex Youth Choir and 5 orchestra members .
If you love to sing talk to our music director, Nick Morvay!

Thanks to Teajai Travis for recording the evening.

Card Group. A group comes together at the church (or in a local park) weekly for fellowship, cards, and lunch. The group is currently meeting Thursday afternoons. Neighbours and friends are welcome.
Book Club: A group meets monthly to discuss a book. New members are welcome.

“Happy Cookers”- making pies and other delicious food for fundraising: This group meets periodically and prepares food that is sold. Lots of laughs and good fun.

Book Club: There is an active book club who read and share their views and learnings together.

Meals: We love to break bread together at Emmanuel! We have special event dinners such as our Harvest Dinner, a Christmas Family Breakfast, and many other opportunities to share a meal, a laugh and a time of fellowship.
We also like to make meals for others and make meals for the guests at the Downtown Mission and the Soup Shack on a monthly basis.

We host activities such as an annual Christmas Bazaar; a Harvest Dinner, a New to You “Rummage” sale, book sales etc.
