Outreach for January 2021

/0 Comments/in , /by

Outreach is asking parishioners to make casseroles for SHIP during the month of January. Any and all types of casseroles are welcome but those that contain protein are greatly needed. 

In addition, SHIP is requesting pop top cans of meats, particularly sardines, Vienna sausages, beef hash or any other type of canned meat you find. They receive many cans of tuna but not other meats. They must be the pop top type of cans. If you can drop your donations at the SHIP office (87 E High St. Somerville) please tell them you are from St. Martin’s. They close their office at 2:00 p.m. If you would like your donation picked up and delivered to SHIP please call Marlene.

It will be a short half hour or so liturgy, but a way for us to honor this important holy day. Check back later for a link to the leaflet.

Sunday, December 6, 2020
4 pm to 5 pm-ish
The Kellam’s backyard (900 Ardsley Lane, Bridgewater)

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.
