Lutheran World Relief


You are never too old or too young to create wonderful things for Lutheran World Relief. The quilt in the display case was made by Siobhanin Pushnik, age 12. She is Karen and Jack Grosskopf's granddaughter. Carolyn Grosskopf, at age 97 and Siobhanin's great grandmother, is still tacking quilts and sewing baby shirts and gowns.

Youth Attend Camp Chrysalis

The week at Camp Chrysalis was a great success. Pastor Ellen, Austin Shortes and all the campers experienced meaningful connections, and a deepening of faith through community. Their week was filled with joy, growth, and God’s abundant blessings for all.

Summer Is Here—Don’t Forget the Church!

School is out, the Texas heat is rising, and many are enjoying long-awaited vacations. While the church calendar lightens during these months, our personal calendars often stay full. This can make it more difficult to attend church regularly—and when attendance dips, giving often does too. It’s not that people don’t care; they’re just not physically present. But the work of the church continues, and so do our expenses. If you haven’t already, please consider setting up automatic giving—either through your bank or Realm—so your support can remain steady even when you’re away. For help with

electronic giving, please contact Anita Salmon at asalmon@saintmartins.org

Time with the Pastor

Tuesday

2:30-3:30pm

Join Pastor Ellen for an informal “drop-in” time on Tuesdays, 2:30-3:30pm - in person or on Zoom. This is a time she will be in her office and available for casual visits without an appointment. If it is more convenient for you to visit remotely, email admin@saintmartins.org for a Zoom link.
