St. Martin's Welcomes the Fowler Family
Hello everyone!
We’re Logan, Jacie (pronounced Jackie), and Miles Fowler. We are a recent family of three that is friendly, loving, and outgoing. We enjoy the outdoors, anything geeky, and spending time as a family. We are excited to become a part of a congregation that seems very welcoming! We look forward to growing as a family as members of St. Martin’s!

Sunday School Get-together
Heather, Judy and I are organizing an informal gathering at Burnt Mills Park in Bedminster as a way for our Sunday School and Youth Group Families to safely get together outdoors as a very unusual Church School Year nears a close. Burnt Mills Park is only 3 miles down the road from Saint Martin's (heading West on Washington Valley Road).
- Who: Saint Martin's Families (families with kids or with dog kids or kids at heart)
- What: Informal Outdoor Gathering (water and pre-wrapped snacks provided)
-
When: Sunday, May 16th at 4pm
-
Where: Burnt Mills Park (https://goo.gl/maps/Uc5rBzn5GuU5QKit7)
-
Burnt Mills Park has a small playground, ball fields, access to a long bike/walking path and a dog park so dogs welcome!
-
Why: Fellowship! We wanted to find a safe and casual way for our church families to get together outdoors. Meeting outdoors at a park will give grown-ups a chance to catch up while kids have a chance to play outdoors together. Masks requested when social distance not being maintained. Burnt Mills Park is not currently reserving facilities, so we will just show up and have some fun!

Last Sunday's Service
Last Sunday the church's internet was down, and we were unable to hold our regular Zoom service. Hopefully, you were able to log onto Facebook Live to view the service. The internet is now working, so we will be back to our regular service this Sunday. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Keeper of the Light
There is a light at St. Martin's that never goes out. We call it the "Sanctuary Light". It reminds us of the presence of Christ who is with us always. 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.
