Last updated on October 30th, 2025
On November 30, 2025, we warmly invite you to a special German-English worship service at 11:00 am with Holy Communion and our church choir. The service will be led by our Pastor Annika Klappert and involve Rev. Katherine Gohm, Assistant to the Bishop in the Eastern Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada, sa well as our lay preachers, church members and guests. Serving the German-speaking Lutherans across the GTA and the South Etobicoke community since 1955, our mission is to be “Lutherans by the Lake celebrating faith, serving and inspiring people”. We’ll be celebrating this milestone under the banner 70 Years of Living Stones by the Lake. As living stones (1 Peter 2:5), we bring our church building to life with traditions, relationships and creativity.
There will be remarks and acknowledgements in our worship space after the service.
We will continue the celebration with light refreshments and welcome everyone to our annual Christmas Market Fundraiser and Open House from 1:00 – 4:00 pm. This will include:
- A self-guided tour to explore church milestones (including Confirmation photos), building features and programs offered in the space.
- Stations to take photos, decorate anniversary garden stones, share favourite Martin Luther Church memories, sign up for upcoming activities like our Christmas Play
- A Christmas Bazaar and Market Fundraiser for the church, showcasing hand-made crafts, home baking, jams, and much more for sale. Start your Christmas shopping early and support a good cause!
- A delicious BBQ lunch and traditional (non-alcoholic) German Glühwein for purchase.
- Live entertainment and music from local talent!
Please share the invitation with your family and friends so that it is a full celebration of our church and community. Please contact the church office if need a ride. We are looking forward to celebrating with you! Invitation PDF
