Members have also continued the tradition of outdoor ministry for decades: visiting Camp Edgewood for the Church Picnic and Camp Lutherlyn for a week of Summer Camp annually.<\/p>\n<p>Our members are involved in many activities that enrich our services, contribute to community outreach and encourage the building of meaningful and multi-generational relationships. The Sunday School Swim, Christmas Bazaar and, most recently, Mimico Party in the Park, are just some of the ways we come together, not to mention the meetings of our groups and teams. The choir, bible study, worship team, seniors group, coffee and cake team, the Sunday School, drum circle, refugee support team, improvement committees, confirmation class, media crew and many more help to keep our church community alive and growing!<\/p>\n<p>The following is a snapshot in time of many of the members and friends of our congregation involved in church life in the year of the anniversary.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-45715 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/martinluther.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2016-60th-anniversary-booklet-page2-193x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"193\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/martinluther.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2016-60th-anniversary-booklet-page2-193x300.jpg 193w, https:\/\/martinluther.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2016-60th-anniversary-booklet-page2-657x1024.jpg 657w, https:\/\/martinluther.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2016-60th-anniversary-booklet-page2-768x1197.jpg 768w, https:\/\/martinluther.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2016-60th-anniversary-booklet-page2-986x1536.jpg 986w, https:\/\/martinluther.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2016-60th-anniversary-booklet-page2.jpg 1091w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 193px) 100vw, 193px\" \/>A note from the Council President:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Liebe Gemeinde,<\/p>\n<p>Mit Freude stelle ich das Jubil\u00e4umsbuch vor!
