Church Historians & Archives

Church Historians & Archives

The Church Historians & Archives identify, collect, preserve, organize and share historical & official records of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. We’re working to share the story of God at work at St. Martin’s through several generations. Our history and archive group meets Thursdays at 9:30 am.
Contact Linda Snow at snowman2014@outlook.com to get involved in telling the story of God at work at St. Martin-in-the-Fields over the last 45+ years!

Communications Committee

Communications Committee

The Communications Committee works to extend our church’s evangelism into the digital, online world. Members work to manage our website, social media, and to best use all communications methods. If you are called to digital evangelism, or a good writer/editor, or a passionate storyteller, or a photographer, or a digital designer, or interested in social media, or if you are a geek looking for a place to belong, this is the group for you!
The Communications Committee’s impetus for extending communications beyond the doors of our church comes from Acts 5:20, where the angel who freed the apostles from jail told them, “Go, stand in the temple courts, and tell the people the full message of this new life.”
Committee members work behind the scenes to develop the website and new communications methods, to and equip and encourage staff and ministry leaders in their communications.
Get Involved! Shoot an email to Chuck Ambrose at chuckambrose@gmail.com.

Acolytes

Acolytes

Acolytes are the worship participants who carry the crosses, candles, banners and other items in procession, and who help in a number of important ways throughout the service. Becoming an acolyte is a great way to get involved and to learn more about Episcopal worship.
Adult and youth acolytes serve, learn and practice together. Acolytes assist at all three weekend services and at the numerous special services throughout the year. Acolytes are scheduled for regular services and attend regular practices. Special training is required for the larger and more complicated services.
Anyone first grade and older who would like to serve God in this special way is encouraged to become an acolyte. For more information, contact Joe Panther at jpanthertx@aol.com.

Quiet Committee

Quiet Committee

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

Worship Ministry

Worship Ministry

Our Worship Ministry members faithfully read scripture and prayers and offer wine at Communion during our worship. Other members, Lay Eucharistic Visitors, take Communion to members who are unable to come to church.
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.

The Prayer Shawl Ministry members knit/crochet shawls, chemo caps, scarves, stocking caps, ear warmers and soap sacks to be given to those in need of comfort and support.
