Outreach

• The Outreach Committee would like to thank everyone for all the generous donations this year for the Easter Baskets. Thirty baskets were delivered to the Bound Brook Board of Education and handed out to children in need. We doubled our amount of baskets this year! Thanks again!

• We will collect gently used/new children’s books from 21 April to 5 May. The books will go to the food bank to give to clients and their families. 

• Once again, we’re collecting new/gently used items for the Household Items Giveaway at the beginning of May. Items are due to St. Martin’s by Monday, 29 April.

• The Food Bank is in great need of food items, paper goods, and toiletries for our neighbors in Somerset County. Cash and checks are also greatly appreciated. There’s always a container on the stairs leading up to the choir loft. 



Any questions, please contact Kathy Shanklin.

Women's Group Outing

to Burnt Mills Pottery



We are going to Burnt Mills Pottery on April 28th at noon with lunch afterward. Please email Alison if you are interested.

Finance

Giving records were emailed/mailed out on Monday, 4/15. We apologize if any records from 2023 appeared on your report. The intent is solely so you can verify that our records for the first quarter of 2024 match yours. If you did not receive a correspondence, please contact the church office.

Rutgers' Sponsored Event

Flowers

St. Martin’s sometimes has flowers left over after special services (Easter, Christmas, memorial services, weddings). Congregants take some of the flowers but does anyone have ideas about specific places to donate these flowers/plants? Many nursing homes and assisted living facilities no longer accept flower donations. Please let Fr. Rob, the Altar Guild, or Kathy Shanklin know. Thank you.

Prayer Requests

• For the repose of the soul of Erin's father, Erten Ester. Erin is Zac Laws' girlfriend. We also pray for God's comfort and strength for Erin and her aunt.
• For the repose of Maureen's soul
• For the repose of Jane Linn's soul
• Healing for Joyce Clark

Please send your prayer intentions to Philip at philip.muniz@gmail.com. Also, if you want a name removed, you can email Philip.
