MISSION STATEMENT
"Arising from a deeply rooted faith in one God, known to us through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, we, the people of Eramosa Pastoral Charge, celebrate that we are a Christian Community striving to share our faith, friendship, fun, music and other talents. We do this through our unique rural approach to worship, Christian education, stewardship and pastoral care."
--This Mission Statement was approved by the Eramosa Pastoral Charge's Official Board in September 1995 and we still support this perception today.
--The Eramosa Pastoral Charge consists of two churches; Barrie Hill United and Speedside United. Our two congregations are rich in what we have to offer to each other, to the community, and to the surrounding districts.

Children and Youth Activities
Under 12s:
Church School
On Sunday mornings, children normally begin in the sanctuary with the adults. They remain with the greater congregation for the first 15-20 minutes, then move to the Church Hall for Children's Worship. A typical children's worship session starts with songs then a bible story, a related takeaway craft or a game. At present the program currently hosts three age groups. Our nursery is run with a series of volunteers. Children rejoin their parents after the service, for beverages in the sanctuary. This past year the children helped run the outdoor service and filled shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child to be send overseas. They did not have a Christmas concert to put on, so they were split into two groups and performed the Christmas story as they remembered it.

U.C.W.
The U.C.W. (UNITED CHURCH WOMEN) continues to meet monthly with both a monthly program and a social aspect that continues to sponsor Christian education in the church.
This is accomplished through sponsoring the Observer costs, the Sunday School curriculum, church camps and overseas ventures.
The U.C.W. also continues to monitor member's health and life events -- acknowledging needs and events in the lives of the members of the church. The catering group (as a subcommittee) continues to run a fully stocked industrial kitchen -- which is beautifully maintained.
CHOIR
The CHOIR at Barrie Hill, directed by Susan, leads music and plays a valued role in our worship service. From September to June every Thursday starting at 7:30pm the choir members are practicing for Sunday. Occasionally the Praise Team brings forward more contemporary music.
Currently recorded music is played prior to the service beginning. The choir teaches new music to the congregation and leads sing songs. The choir shares their love of music with the junior members of the church by creating youth choirs for special events.
