Help Us Refurbish the Thrifty Goose
An Appeal from Our Wardens,
David Brookhart and Cathy Bodner

Throughout the pandemic the Thrifty Goose has been housed in the Great Hall. We are now preparing to return them to their home.
 
Willing and able hands are needed to clean, paint, and otherwise help prepare the Thrifty Goose to welcome customers to an improved space. That preparation falls to all of us, the people of St. Martin’s to paint the way.
 
Beginning July 14th, we will team up in work parties to tackle assignments. We are setting aside Wednesdays and Saturdays in July and August from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm for the work to get done. We hope to have the restoration complete in 4 to 6 weeks. 

  • 6-10 volunteers are needed each Wednesday and Saturday.
  • Most of the work will consist of cleaning and painting.
  • Any number of hours is appreciated.
  • You don’t need to be a pro. 
  • There’s no heavy construction. 
  • Just be willing to get a bit dirty and help out.
  
In addition, we are adding virus destroying air circulation, new display space, and more electrical outlets.

Please email David or call the office (401-751-2141) if you can help.

Do good and share what you have,
for this is pleasing to the Lord.

Thank you for your support of St. Martin's ministries, both the day-to-day ministries and the needs being met through the capital campaign.

Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us
grace by the confession of a true faith to
acknowledge you our God as divine community:
Keep us steadfast in this faith that our community life

live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
