Volunteers are asked to lay out sweets, serve coffee and clean up afterwards, etc. Also, flowers for the altar brought in would be appreciated by the Altar Guild. Contact [email protected]

• Tech Team: From the start of the pandemic, videos of our services are filmed and edited to be uploaded on our YouTube channel, Martin Luther Church Toronto. To keep doing so, videographers are asked to come in on Sundays, film and send the files to that week’s editor. Those who are comfortable with video editing are even welcome to edit themselves!

Are you interested in helping the Canadian Lutheran World Relief-approved refugees come to and settle in Canada? If so, then please consider joining our Refugee Support Team. Contact [email protected]

Learn about the plight of refugees around the world. Assist with applications, arrival and settlement as you are able.
