Using information gathered from our 2020 parish survey and Holy Conversations with members, as well as with the input of clergy, Vestry, Canon to the Ordinary, and Bishop, St. Martin’s Rector Search Committee has developed our Parish Profile for 2021.
Here is the full report of the 2020 Annual Meeting, January 31, 2021.
In it are Vestry & Delegate nominee info, reports from the clergy, vestry wardens, and lay ministry leaders. Also included are church statistics and financial records for the year 2020.
Hunger in our community continues and the demand for food at 4Saints Episcopal Food Pantry has increased. They need our help now!
Quarterly, we request additional funds for 4Saints through our “Red Envelope” program. This program has been very successful and provides a simple way to get money to 4Saints to help them meet their needs.
Please support this very important program with your donation.
Thank you!

The Bread Ministry is an important part of St. Martin’s mission of radical hospitality. Members bake bread to share with new guests at our church, along with a little information about our church and worship services. The bread ministry strives to let newcomers know that we are very glad they chose to be with us, and that we hope they will become a part of our church community.
The bread ministry group feels that the love and hospitality shown to newcomers by baking bread reflects the Christian belief that is embodied in the phrase “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” [Matthew 7:12]
Bread bakers will bake several loaves of bread & bring them to church. Some of the bread is also used to help feed the homeless through our Service Sunday ministry for Union Gospel Mission.
Get Involved! The Bread Ministry has no regular meetings, and communicates mostly by email or phone. This ministry has a very valuable place in our church, and many families have responded that they really felt welcome at St. Martin’s because of the wonderful bread that was shared with them! If you would like to be a part of this ministry, please contact Flo Lowrey at lowrey.flo@gmail.com.

Let my prayer be counted as incense before thee, and the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice!
