OUTREACH


The Food Bank is in great need of food items, paper goods, and toiletries for our neighbors in Somerset County. We especially want to focus on personal items and cleaning products, such as toothpaste, feminine products, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, etc. Cash and checks are also greatly appreciated. There’s always a container on the stairs leading up to the choir loft. 


If you have any questions, please get in touch with Kathy Shanklin.

RECYCLE/REUSE


We are always collecting the following items:

  • Styrofoam
  • Unusable pens/markers/pencils
  • Kitchen items (no furniture)
  • Books


Please consider bringing your compost to the church's compost bin. It’s behind the playground and the small fenced-in area.


Any questions, please contact Kathy Shanklin.

HOW TO BECOME A MEMBER OF THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

 

You are always welcome to worship at St. Martin's and participate in service and fellowship activities regardless of your membership status. We are thrilled to have you in our community. But sometimes people want to go deeper and become a full member of St Martin's and the Episcopal Church. One becomes a full member through the Sacrament of Confirmation- or if you have already been confirmed in a church with apostolic succession (Roman Catholic, Orthodox, or ELCA), by the rite of Reception into the Episcopal Church with the Laying on of Hands by the Bishop. Confirmation and Reception by the Bishop makes you a member of the Episcopal Church and allows you to serve on the Vestry (which is the lay leadership board for the parish in the Episcopal Church.)


Please ask Father Rob for more information.
