WEEK OF JULY 2, 2018


Building for the Ages Update

The Building for the Ages Campaign has been, and continues to be, an amazing success for St. Martin's.  This capital campaign was developed based on the needs of our parishioners -- for various sizes and types of worship, gathering spaces, adult learning, student activities, children's Christian education and music.
 
We are pleased to announce that as of Monday, June 18, we have received commitments to Building for the Ages in total of $43,707,637 in cash and pledges, with more than 700 families and individuals (representing 1,173 members) stepping forward and responding to the campaign within the first three months.  This is an auspicious beginning as we close in on our campaign goal of $55 million.
 
But the Campaign is continuing and there are still more pledges to receive. If you have not yet made your commitment, we invite you to join those that have before we bring a new update to the Parish in August. You can pledge through our website by clicking the button below, pick up a pledge card in the pew racks, or pledge over the phone by calling Debbie Hutchison at 713-985-3803 or dhutchison@stmartinsepiscopal.org.

This summer in Basic Bible various members of St. Martin's Clergy are taking a week or two to share from their "favorite things." While they may not be focusing on raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens (sorry to any "Sound of Music" lovers out there), they will be teaching on people, places, books, movies, etc. that have inspired them in their faith, encouraged them in their walk with Jesus and shown them something of the gospel.

Prayer Shawl Ministry

The purpose of this caring ministry is to knit and crochet God's love, care and warmth into our shawls and have them blessed before giving them away. If you don't knit or crochet, we will help you learn how, or encourage you to start knitting or crocheting again.


Join Our Team of Ushers

St. Martin's ushers are often the first people to greet and assist visitors at the Church. Our ushers serve on rotating teams, according to their schedule and service time preference. Older teens and young adults are welcome to serve. Training is provided.
