Piece Makers Sewing Group

Last year, the Prayer Shawl ministry was given a generous donation of a sewing machine as well as lots of fabric. And now we are ready to start adding new projects to our ministry!

The Prayer Shawl ministry knits and crochets shawls, chemo caps, scarves, soap sacks, etc. for those who need them. The Piece Makers will expand on this by creating hanging bags for walkers, bibs for nursing home residents, and other items designed to bring care and comfort to those in need.

When we meet

We will meet monthly on the third Thursdays from 10 am in the Outreach room located in the parish hall. For those who want to make a day of it, bring a sack lunch, and stay through Prayer Shawl as well, which meets from 1 – 2:30 pm. 

What you need

Just a willingness to participate! All of  our materials come from donations. A knowldege of sewing is great, but if you don’t have one, we’ll be happy to teach!

Get in touch

If you have any questions, please let us know! You can email our leaders, Pennie Carnes and Kathy Wilkinson at prayer-shawl@stmartininthefields.org.

Want to support in other ways?

If you would like to provide a donation to help us in our ministry, you can do that here. Just choose “Prayer Shawl” from the drop-down menu. Thank you for your generosity!

The Rector’s Bible Study – Fall 2025

Join St. Martin’s rector, Alan Bentrup, for a weekly journey through The Big Story of God: Walking Through Scripture, Tradition, and Life. Starting September 10, we’ll gather each Wednesday at 10:30 am in the new conference room and online to explore the sweep of God’s work in the world, from creation to covenant, from prophets to parables, from resurrection to the Church today.

This year’s study will ground us in our Episcopal way of reading the Bible, holding together Scripture, tradition, and reason. Each week includes teaching, conversation, and space for your questions. All are welcome, whether you’re opening the Bible for the first time or have studied it for years.

When & Where:
Wednesdays, 10:30 am – Conference Room & Online
Begins September 10, 2025

To join online, please fill out the form below.

You only need to fill it out once. You will be sent the Zoom link upon submitting the form. Thank you!

Al-Anon Family Group of Keller

Al-Anon Family Group of Keller

by | Sep 10, 2022 | Group

Al-Anon Family Group of Keller meets at 5:30 pm on Sundays in the large parish hall. This fellowship of relatives and friends of alcoholics share their experience, strength and hope to solve their common problems.

Al-Anon Family Groups believe alcoholism is a family illness and that changed attitudes can aid recovery. Al-Anon is not allied with any sect, denomination, political entity, organization, or institution; does not engage in any controversy, neither endorses nor opposes any cause. There are no dues for membership. Al-Anon is self-supporting through its own voluntary contributions.

Al-Anon has but one purpose: to help families of alcoholics. We do this by practicing the Twelve Steps, by welcoming and giving comfort to families of alcoholics, and by giving understanding and encouragement to the alcoholic. Al-Anon Family Groups meet in most North American communities.

You can find out more about what to expect at an Al-Anon meeting here. For more information, please contact Evie Larimore at 817-980-6593.

Lectionary Study

Lectionary Study

by | May 10, 2022 | Group, News, Worship Online

Please join us for the small group lectionary study taking place on Sunday mornings at 9:30 am in the library.

Each week during the Christian Formation time period at 9:30, we meet for lectionary study. This is a small group that reads the lectionary for the upcoming Sunday.  Our goal is to prepare for the service and to help us better understand the priest’s sermon. We gain insights from our readings and discussions and work on applying them to follow God’s guidance in our lives.

There is no need to prepare ahead of time.  Please bring your favorite Bible or choose one of the many available in the church library.

If you’d like to join the class, please drop in! For more information, email  lesliemossschulz@gmail.com or alan.bentrup@stmartininthefields.org. We’d love to hear from you!

Vocal Workshop

Monday, July 8 at 7:30 pm

Even if you are not already in the choir, we invite anyone high school age and up to attend our Vocal Workshop. We’ll meet promptly at 7:30 pm in the Choir Loft.

We may sing some hymns, but the emphasis will be on singing technique.  Everyone will push the boundaries of their ability in a fun atmosphere!

Get Involved!

Bob Duquesnel, our choir director, and the current members of the choir would like to extend an invitation to anyone who would like to sing with us in the loft on Sundays at the 10:30 am service. We’ve made room for about 20 singers to supplement the joyful music the congregation makes, singing of our Salvation and giving glory in gratitude to God!

We meet at 9:30 am each Sunday and review that day’s music as well as things we’ll sing on future Sundays. No other rehearsal night is planned but we will have some optional after service workshops for whatever needs arise. These will vary depending on the parish calendar and are intended to help you if you desire to develop your talents.

Please don’t feel obligated if your life only allows intermittent attendance. Just know that in all our parish’s music we experience divine intervention at the intersection of heaven and earth!

For more information, please contact bob.duquesnel@stmartininthefields.org.

Registration isn’t required, but it sure helps us keep track of everyone!
