If you can't be with us on Sunday

The link to our weekly Zoom service is on the top of the home page of our website, with a link to the leaflet/hymns as well. Each service is recorded and posted on the St. Martin's website https://www.stmartinsnj.org/

and Facebook (St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Bridgewater, New Jersey) the following week in case you missed it.   

Invite your friends, your neighbors, even strangers!

There's a hymn with a line, "and strangers now are friends."

Sundays with St. Martin's

Each Sunday, we open the session at 10:15 a.m. as a time for people to connect with one another. It's our kind of virtual coffee hour, but it's before the service rather than after.

Then at 10:30 a.m. we have an abbreviated liturgy that includes hymns, scripture, prayers, a homily and a blessing.

Bingo Anyone?!

The Fellowship Tea m invites you and your entire family to Virtual Bingo Hour. All cards are generated online and emailed to you. We will meet via Zoom, and the Bingo Caller (also generated automatically) will call the numbers. You can use anything you have around the house to cover your numbers: coins, poker chips, m&ms, pickles!? Prizes are still up in the air, but there will be definitely something fun to sweeten the pot. If you would like to participate, please email Alison at  randyali@aol.com . We are waiting for parishioner’s interest to schedule a date and time, so poll your family, and email soon!

Who will keep the Light?

There is a light at St. Martin's that never goes out. We call it the "Sanctuary Light" because it hangs in the sanctuary portion of the chancel (front of the church) directly lighting the Reserved Sacrament. It reminds us of the presence of Christ who is with us always. But now, during this time when we are not able to be in our building, members of the parish have been taking turns caring for the light for a period of one week at a time in their own home and then passing it on to another member for the next week, until we can all be together again in the church building. If you would like to volunteer to take a week, please contact Philip Muñiz at: philip.muniz@gmail.com
