St. Martin’s Connections

Calendar of Events and E-Weekly News

St. Martin’s promotes connections within our congregation and community. We host churchwide events to bring together our community in a variety of ways and times so everyone can connect. Various ministries are part of this group, including Stephen Ministers, WELCA, Welcome Center, small groups, bereavement team, and more. We welcome members to join us in this special ministry of connection. Contact Karen Cross or Susan Jensen for volunteer information.

Fellowship Ministries

    Potluck that sets up for these wonderful churchwide gatherings.
  • Welcome Ministry
    Welcome visitors and offer information at the Welcome Center during each church service (before and after the service). Be part of a growing service to welcome new members to the church and connect them to opportunities to share their gifts
  • MEN OF THE CHURCH
    Help launch a new men’s fellowship here at St. Martin’s. We’ll be building this ministry on the fly—volunteering? sports? Bible study? Happy hour? How about all of the above
  • WOMEN OF THE CHURCH FELLOWSHIP
    Join in fellowship between the multiple generations of women in the congregation through bi-annual retreats focused on study, reflection, relaxation, and community, and through monthly fellowship events

Compassion Ministries

  • Stephen Ministry
    One-to-one care providers trained to support people experiencing grief, divorce, loneliness, job loss, medical crisis, and many other life difficulties. Meet weekly to listen, care, pray, and reflect Christ’s presence. A life-changing experience for both the care receiver and the Stephen Minister. Check the bulletin for upcoming training and continuing education open to all
  • BEREAVEMENT COMMITTEE
    Our group steps in to provide a simple meal to the family after a memorial/funeral of a loved one. There are foods to be purchased and prepared. Then we divide the time to set up, serve, and clean up. Not each member of the committee serves each time so we need many members to share these duties
  • PASTORAL CARE
    Joins the pastoral staff in caring for our members. This includes calling and bringing Home Communion to those who cannot regularly attend worship services.
