In lieu of our traditional potluck dinner, enjoy some hot cocoa by the fire as a way for Saint Martin’s children to gather together and celebrate the holiday season.
We will read our traditional Saint Nicholas story and rumor has it that Saint Nicholas may make an appearance! Mask required unless drinking hot cocoa or eating yummy treats as we want to make this safe for everyone! Just bring yourselves wrapped in warm clothes. The event is weather dependent.

You are invited to take part in a four-session Advent series on Wednesdays at 7:30 starting December 2nd in conjunction with St. John’s in Somerville.
How does Advent, the first season of the church year, cause us to reexamine our desires as we prepare to welcome Christ, the Desire of Nations? The series focuses on that question, with the theme of Advent Ethics. We will meet virtually on Wednesdays from 7:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sessions includes prayer, a scripture reading, reflection, study questions and sharing.
Schedule:
Dec. 2: Redeeming Time: Being pushed back to Christ and to the Eucharist
Dec. 9: What Are We Waiting For? Examining how Isaiah’s oracles are employed in Advent liturgies to interpret Jesus’ birth, ministry and suffering
Dec. 16: The Three Advents: Looking at Bernard of Clairvaux’s account of Christ’s “threefold coming”
Dec. 23: Advent of the Heart: Focusing on the Prison Mediations of Alfred Delp, SJ.

Aidan H.’s Eagle Scout project is to improve the picnic area by the playground by installing a paver patio.
This will make the area aesthetically more pleasing as well as easier to take care of. I started cleaning up the area, but will need help purchasing the pavers.
