Weekly Bulletin - St. Matthew's Anglican Church

MARMALADE PROJECT. Once again,
plans are being made to begin work on this
year’s batch of St. Matthew’s marmalade. The
exact timing is not yet known as it depends
upon the availability of the Seville oranges, but
usually work begins around the second week of
January. Volunteers are needed, and all are welcome whether you can
spend an hour, or a day or the whole two weeks that the project is
expected to last. Bring a paring knife, a cutting board and, if you plan
to stay for a communal lunch, a can of minestrone soup and a sandwich. This is a great opportunity to spend some congenial time with
others from St. Matthew’s participating in a popular outreach project.
Out of the Cold Supper -Saturday, January 31st at
Southminster United Church (St. Matthew's last time
this season) - Volunteers are encouraged to help for
2 - 3 hours between 3:00 PM to 8:00 PM with hosting and meal clean up. Donations of magazines,
playing cards, warm winter clothing are appreciated.
If you are able to assist with either, or would like
further information please call Susan Thomson (613 724 9994).

"The Sacraments: Rites that Mold the Anglican Tradition"
Come join us for a new “Molding the Anglican Tradition” series. It will
be held on three consecutive Tuesday evenings – January 13th, 20th and
27th and focus on the sacraments. The first evening, led by the Rev. Prof.
Kevin Flynn, will be an overview of the sacraments including the historical debates. On the second evening, Canon Pat Johnston will focus
on the sacraments of Baptism and the Eucharist. On the third evening,
the Rev. Arran Thorpe will explore the ‘other’ sacraments. We’ll have a
simple supper (soup, bread, cheese) starting at 6:15pm each evening
with the talk starting at 7:00pm (finishing by 8:00pm). There is a sign
up sheet at the back of the church (offers to contribute soup, bread or
cheese for an evening gratefully accepted!). Come to one, two or all
three evenings - they are an excellent opportunity for fellowship and to
learn more about our Anglican tradition.
Open Doors Open House at St. John’s, Elgin Street

in the composition. The children will also sing music
from the film Les Choristes, and French café chansons
