We are fortunate indeed to have a full complement of dedicated professional staff; however, the programs of the church depend on the involvement of many lay members on a regular basis. For example, fifty lay members (more or less) are involved in our worship service every Sunday morning. The following list of volunteer tasks includes help that will be needed  throughout the year -- some one time, others more often.

If you would like to help with any of these tasks, or be part of one of these groups, please contact the Church Office (905 822-9834).
