Sunday School and Youth Groups

Looking for volunteers willing to share their gifts with Saint Martin’s Youth!
 
Saint Martin’s Sunday School Program (Catechesis of the Good Shepherd) and Youth Program (Journey to Adulthood) deliver positive Christian Education to the youth of Saint Martin’s. These programs and the happy and healthy experiences they provide are only made possible through the generosity of our volunteers. 

We are looking for parishioners willing to share their time and talents with Saint Martin’s youth. We have many volunteer opportunities and no experience is necessary! You will receive much more than you give!!
 
If you would like to learn more, please reach out to Christine Kellam (cell 908-872-7166auntie_weenie@hotmail.com).

How can we put this delicately and positively?

The people of St. Martin's are generous with their time, finances, and offering the volunteer services they do. We have so much for which to be grateful. We are so committed to the ministry we share. We love this church. So please keep up your financial support, because frankly, it is needed!







Sunday School at Rita's

Last Sunday we held our Sunday School and Youth Group Kick-off at Rita's. As you can see from the picture at top, a fun time was had by all (as well as yummy treats). Instead of meeting through Zoom, we have decided to hold in-person get-togethers over the next few months. We'll keep you posted as to date and time of events as they come up.

Keeper of 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 of the chancel (front of the church) lighting the Reserved Sacrament. It reminds us of the presence of Christ who is with us always. 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 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 be the "Keeper of the Light" for a week, email Philip with the subject "Candle" at philip.muniz@gmail.com.

Outreach in September

Thank you to everyone who brought items for the troops and FISH last Sunday. The generosity of St. Martin's parish is amazing.

Book's I've Read during the Pandemic

"The Wright Brothers" by David McCullough

Did you know that the Wright Brothers were bike shop mechanics in Dayton, Ohio? This extraordinary books tells the behind-the-scenes story of these courageous men and their path to that momentous day at Kitty Hawk. Even more important, it tells of the struggles they experienced afterwards, and the contribution of their sister, Katharine. This is a fascinating read for any history or flying buff. Alison Jandak
Cookbook Editing

I'm looking for a person with a keen eye and a little time on their hands. Since I've gone back to work, it has been more difficult to proofread the Pandemic Cookbook. If you think you could help, email me.
