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).
