Outreach
There is a plastic bin in the coat room in the Narthex for Easter Basket Donations. We are looking for all kinds of donations including chocolate, baskets, small toys, coloring books, crayons, regular books, etc. At this time we are not looking for Easter Basket grass since we have so much leftover from last year! Thank you!
Composting
St. Martin's has a composting bin at the back of the parking lot, near the garden that Rob Vernon tends. If you would like to compost but don't have a compost bin, please consider using our bin.
Stewardship
Dear Members,
In January you should have received an email statement with your Pledge End of Year Statement. If you did not, please check your junk mail or contact the church office and let them know you need your statement. If you would prefer a printed copy of your statement, please contact the church office.
Thanks, Kelly Slye
