FROM THE BOARD CHAIR

At the recent Board Meeting the decision was made to begin the process of searching for our new minister.

The first step involves the formation of a Search Committee. If you are a member or adherent of Marshall and are interested in joining the committee, or if you have any questions regarding the process please contact either the acting Secretary of the Board, Charlotte Stewart ( 905- 628- 0509) or the Chair of the Board, Jan Thompson (905-648-1720).

We would like to present the names of interested, prospective members at our next Board meeting on March 8th. Thank you for considering this request.
    
Sincerely, Jan Thompson

PRAYER TEAM

Thank you to everyone who submitted names of millennials for prayers in January. We kept all 83 of them in our prayers last month and their names were read aloud by Rev. Kevin during the service and by the team each week.

In February, we plan to pray for people 80 years and up. We invite you to send the names of any that you think are in need of extra prayer support this month to Patty Cheshire at cheshire.patty@gmail.com or 905-389-6373 or on Marshall's Facebook page. Thank you.
ANNUAL REPORT

The Annual Report is normally published just prior to the Annual Meeting. However, due to the current circumstances, we will not be having the Annual Meeting till the fall, Lord willing. Attached for your reading pleasure is the 2020 Annual Report.

LENT 2021

Our theme for Lent this year is based on the book The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction by Justin Whitmel Earley.
 
The Common Rule has 2 main goals:
 
  1. To wake us up to the idea that we already have default patterns of everyday habits that are forming enormous parts of our spiritual lives, primarily unconsciously, and
  2. To offer a path toward intentional spiritual formation that will enable us to more fully Walk in God’s Way and Serve in God’s World.
 
Here’s how to participate:
 
  1. Read the book – available through Indigo or Amazon We also have a few copies available at the church – please contact Kevin
  2. Try The Common Rule habits
  3. Join Judy (Wednesdays at 1 pm) or Kevin (Wednesdays at 7 pm) for a Zoom group or form a group with some friends  
  4. Read the Daily Read & Reflect Scripture verses (in the Resource Package)
  5. Watch the videos and listen to the podcast (links are in the Resource Package)
  6. Go all in and do it all!
 
If you opt not to read the book, don’t worry – You can learn about The Common Rule habits by watching the videos!
 
You may choose to try one daily and one weekly habit each week and then put them all together in week 5, or you can add the new habits each week while continuing with the previous weeks’ habits.
 
Let’s all come together in common purpose by practicing these habits that will strengthen our faith and help us Walk in God’s Way and Serve in God’s World!
