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).
