August Monthly Newsletter

Families and children of all ages are welcome to come during the Sunday School hour and help pack snack kits for Blessings in a Backpack! Bayou City Blessings mobilizes our local community, individuals and resources to provide food on the weekends and during school breaks for Houston children who might otherwise go hungry. Their mission serves to raise awareness of childhood hunger by building community to improve the lives of Houston children. Join us for this fun morning of service!

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.
