Open for Prayer on Election Day, Nov. 3
While St. Martin's will not be a polling place this year, doors to The Church will be open from noon to 4 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, allowing individuals to come pray. There is not a formal service, and reservations will not be required. St. Martin's standard safety practices including wearing masks and social distancing will be in effect. In addition, the Wayside Chapel will continue to be open round the clock for those whose schedules require more flexibility. All are welcome.
Gifts for Christ Chapel
As construction moves ahead at a brisk pace on campus, parishioners have a number of opportunities to make special gifts in memory of or in thanksgiving for individuals in their lives. If you have an interest in subscribing Hallmark Silver Communion pieces for Holy Eucharist in Christ Chapel, or are interested in learning more about various opportunities with lasting impact for this and future generations, contact Carol Gallion at cgallion@stmartinsepiscopal.org.
