I would love to give our Coffee Hour hosts some time off this summer.

A picnic is also being planned for later in the month. Anyone interested please get back to Alison asap so she can make arrangements.

A Celtic Mass

We will celebrate the Holy Eucharist in July and August using liturgical texts from the Irish, Scottish, and Welsh traditions. In July we will use a Rite based on ancient Celtic prayers. We will use a 7th-century Celtic Creed, a 10th-century Litany, and a eucharistic prayer from the 5th century. In August, we will use a more contemporary Celtic rite. Please join us as we celebrate the Celtic roos of our Anglican Spirituality.

Church Clean-up

We are looking for a few people to help do a few things around the church during the summer. We absolutely need to clean out the ASP shed as well as the garage. We also need to do a deep cleaning of the storage areas inside the church, as well as the kitchen. If you have some time off, please contact Alison or Randy at randyali@aol.com.

Blood Drive

August 6th will be our next Blood Drive at St. Martin's. Please put it on your calendar if you are able to give blood. The last drives we have sponsored have been some of the most successful for the Red Cross. Let's keep it going! Click here to sign up:
