St. Martin’s will be Zooming with the children of Casa San Martin and their mama at the la Villa orphanage in Cochabamba, Bolivia. The organization who runs this orphanage, Amistad Mission, is a long time mission partner of St. Martin’s. The children love to meet new friends “amigos” from St. Martins, sing, ask amigos questions, meet pets, and answer any questions you have.

If you or others would like to attend, please email Outreach for the zoom link: outreach@stmartinsepiscopal.org. 

Vacation Bible School is just around the corner, and the Children's Ministry is looking for enthusiastic adult volunteers to help make this incredible week possible! Whether you enjoy working directly with children, helping with crafts and games, assisting with snacks, welcoming families, or supporting behind the scenes, there is a place for you.

You don’t have to be available every day to serve, and all materials and guidance will be provided.

If you’re interested in volunteering, please sign up using the link here or contact the Children's Ministry for more information. They would love to have you on the team!

This past Spring Break, 17 parishoners traveled to San Salvador, El Salvador to work with Sus Hijos, one of our World Mission nonprofit partners.

The group attended a worship service, visited a local orphanage, and built and decorated a house for a local family. Rev. Gregory Cross blessed the home, and the family was also presented with a Bible.

The group also distributed clothing and food to other families in the area.


Thank you all who supported these missioners either through donations or prayer.
