WELCOME TO EMMANUEL! If you are a newcomer or visitor,
our welcome host will be available to meet you in the narthex after
the service for a personal welcome. We invite you to sign our guest
book and join us in a time of fellowship in the CE Hall following
worship.
If you would like to use a hearing amplifier, a copy of the scriptures,
or a large print copy of the hymns, please speak to the Head Usher.
BIBLES are available for use during Worship Service. Please pick
one up beside the Memorial Book and return it at the end of the
service.

The flowers today are placed:
“In loving memory of Norma Craig and to honour their 59th
wedding anniversary” by Al Craig.
“In loving memory of Jackie Lahue whose friendship moments we
shared and treasure” by Patty & Frank Kavcic.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Kormassa Soriba and family on
the death of her brother-in-law, Thomas Kollie and nephew, Wozie
Yan, who died recently of Ebola in West Africa.
Ebola Crisis Appeal
Alarmed at the growing Ebola crisis in West Africa, the United
Church is responding with a church-wide appeal. Donations received
will be sent primarily to ACT Alliance for its efforts to help contain
the spread of the Ebola virus disease (EVD). Your generosity will
help raise awareness about how to prevent the spread of the deadly
virus and how to protect oneself when caring for infected loved ones.
Working with member churches and community leaders in affected
countries, ACT is also providing basic protective gear such as gloves
and face masks, addressing stigma and discrimination, and providing
much-needed psychosocial support to families who have lost loves
ones.
Contributions are urgently needed to mitigate this increasingly severe
crisis:
1. Donate to provide much-needed support for humanitarian relief.
2. Pray for those affected and those engaged in relief efforts.
3. Learn more about the issues surrounding this crisis and United
Church M&S partners.
Your generous donations will be distributed through ACT Alliance
and United Church M&S partners in West Africa.
If one member suffers, all suffer together…if one member is honored,
all rejoice together.
1 Corinthians 12:26
Our thoughts and prayers are with the youth and young adult
leaders of Camp Chipembi (Carla Johnston, Brett Jeacle,
Brendan Lines, Camille Audet and Kirsten Jeacle) who are
leading worship at Centretown United Church this morning.

Revitalization Pledging Drive
(September 21 through October 12, 2014)
The pledging drive to eliminate the remaining long-term debt
associated with the revitalization project closed on October 12. As of
October 15, we had received pledges adding up to 82.2% of the
$661,000 target.
For those who have not yet returned their pledge card, you may still
do so by giving it to Keith Jeacle, Emmanuel’s Envelope Secretary.
We hope that the 2015 - 2019 pledges, together with the additional
donations and support for fundraising activities, will enable us to
eliminate the revitalization debt by 2020. The Finance Committee
will be presenting its recommendations to Council on October 21
regarding revitalization debt retirement over the next five years.
Many thanks to all those who have made pledges for 2015 through
2019. Your contribution towards eliminating a portion of
Emmanuel’s financial obligations is sincerely appreciated.
