Lent is - Growing Closer to God

‌

Want to help out,

but do it at home?

The Evangelism team is looking for someone to mail our new St. Martin's brochure to new residents of Bridgewater and Bedminster - inviting them to our church! We have the brochures, stamps and mailing list, all we need is someone to hand-write addresses each month and mail them. If you can help out, please email Diane at dianelester29@gmail.com

Pray with your neighbors.

Join folk from St. Paul’s in Bound Brook, St. Martin’s in Bridgewater and St. John’s in Somerville on the theme of Prayer . We meet on Thursdays from 6:30 to 8 p.m. in the Guild Room of St. John’s Episcopal Church, 158 W. High St., Somerville (with the exception of March 19). Each night will begin with a light meal of soup, bread and water.

Sunday Forums in Lent

Join us @ 9:30 as Fr. Mulder leads us in a reconsideration of the cross and its message, from Samuel Well's new book, "Hanging by a Thread: Questions of the Cross." Fr. Wells is the Rector of St. Martin in the Fields, London. This book is for anyone who has been troubled by the traditional notions of the "Atonement," whereby Jesus had to die to satisfy God's sense of justice for the sins of the world. Fr. Wells presents an alternative perspective. Come, discover why the word, "with" may well be the most important word in our faith vocabulary.

ANYONE WANT TO BE BAPTIZED?!

In the early Church Lent was a time to prepare for baptism as the first rays of sun would come up on Easter morning. If you, or your child, would like to be baptized at St. Martin's this year, there could hardly be a more joyous time than at the Easter Vigil, Saturday, April 11 at 7:30 p.m. Please speak with Fr. Mulder to make plans.
