COVID-19 Update from Bishop Michael Pryse, November 14, 2022:

Special Appeal for Donations by our Church Treasurer Martin Haefele on behalf of Church Council
Our church has a large financial deficit. Donations to the general household are down and expenses are back to pre-pandemic levels. To be able to keep this church doing the good work it does, we need financial help. Please also keep the church in your prayers. If you have any questions, please contact Martin Haefele at 416 569 5408 or treasurer@martinluther.ca

Renovation Project
Last Sunday November 13, 2022 during the meeting of the congregation, we voted for hope for a lively future rather than despair. Of the membership present (45 people in person, 5 online), 70% voted for the motion made by the renovation committee (Watson, Sommerfeld, O’Toole, Haefele, Klappert, Schweiger) to tackle extensive accessibility renovations in the back of the building and a more functional, welcoming foyer. We are grateful for the many hours of fact finding, discussion and discernment by our building committee and the excellent presentation of their motion.

Choir practice, Tuesdays at 6:00 pm in preparation for the First Sunday of Advent, November 27, 2022 and Christmas Eve, December 24, 2022.

Worship Schedule Jan-Easter 2023
Together with the Pastor, church council has come up with a 3-month plan for worship services in the new year, considering our current resources, both of volunteers and our financial deficit situation. From January to March 2023, there will be 2 services on Sundays every other week: 9:45 am English and 11:00 am German (about twice per month). On the other Sundays, there will be 1 bilingual service at 11:00 am. We will revisit this worship model in the new year based on attendance and the development of our financial situation.
