Outreach wishes to thank St. Martin’s parishioners and friends and neighbors for their generous support for our adopted family. Almost 70 gifts were collected for the family, including many gift cards. Your generosity was overwhelming and much appreciated.

Have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas.

Episcopal Relief and Development
As you are looking over your Christmas list this year, consider gifting a family in need with a life-giving gift that could transform their lives. You can give a family a chicken, cow, or pig, or help a community have clean water- and you can give the gift in the name of a family member or friend. Check out
