Quiet Committee

Quiet Committee

by | Jul 16, 2020 | Group

The Quiet Committee teams provide a meal for those who have recently been hospitalized, had a new baby, or experienced the loss of a family member. The Quiet Committee also provides occasional meals for those who have long illnesses or are homebound/bedbound. 

If you would like to request a meal for yourself or someone in need, please contact Susan Reeves at susankreeves@att.net.

Get Involved!

We have four teams on call to provide a meal, and each team serves for three months. There are typically four or more members on each team, and we always have room for more men and women to serve. There is nothing better than the feeling you have when you know that you have been able to help a family with a homemade meal. If you are interested in serving our community this way, please contact Susan Reeves at susankreeves@att.net

Evangelism Charter for the Episcopal Church

Evangelism Charter for the Episcopal Church

by | Jun 4, 2020 | Better Together, News

Following the guidelines of The Episcopal Church, St. Martin’s invites you to use their tools and practices of evangelism. You already have the skills you need.

Episcopalians are passionate about proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ in our words and actions. Through the spiritual practice of evangelism, we seek, name and celebrate Jesus’ loving presence in the stories of all people – then invite everyone to MORE. – episcopalchurch.org

Read, study and follow the guidelines here.
Introducing a Practical Theology of Episcopal Evangelism
Are you interested in an Evangelism Study Group? One is in the works! Please contact Ron Hitchcock at ronhitch33@gmail.com or 972-741-4064 if you’d like to participate, or have any questions about evangelism.

If you invite God into your life, beware. There may be no going back. If you open your life to God’s Holy Spirit – if you dare to pray, with your heart, “Come Holy Spirit,” there is no knowing where the Spirit may lead you. This I do know: God did not create you to live life in the shallows, to fritter your life away. God created you to be fully alive. -Br. Geoffrey Tristram, Society of Saint John the Evangelist

Anyone who feels called to serve in worship should contact Jim Bedell at irvington32@gmail.com to be a reader or chalice minister, or Phyllis Bess at tontho16@gmail.com to be a Lay Eucharistic Visitor.
