During worship each Sunday we consider how our abilities, experience, passions, and spiritual gifts could be used as part of the ministry of Marshall Church. If you aren't already involved, perhaps you would like to share your talents in a regular or even an occasional way. There are opportunities to be involved with other team members in planning worship, developing Christian education programs, outreach in our community, helping with technical support and communications, caring for our staff, caring for others in our church community, guiding the church in financial matters, taking care of our church property, welcoming others through coffee and conversation, or in some other way that would be a good fit for you. Give it some thought. If you would like to be part of one of these ministries at Marshall, contact Dave Putnam, Nominations Team (905-648-4786 or [email protected]) to make your interest known.

Thank you to everyone who contributed their money, their time and their talent to making Guy's Christmas Lunch such a success. For the donations of food or goodie bag items or money, we thank you! For the time spent packing the goodie bags by our Seniors Social Group, we thank you! For volunteering to cook turkeys, prepare potatoes and veggies, to carve, to plate and to serve the food, we thank you. To Kevin, our chef extraordinaire, we thank you. For the joy experienced by everyone as we ate and sang (thanks to Frank and the singers) and laughed, we thank you. We thank Santa for his visit too.
Sincerely: your Outreach Team
