Wednesday Information - August 11, 2021
Outreach Update
St. Martha’s Outreach is focusing on helping those in need locally, especially, with
nutrition, housing and education. Outreach contributes to five local food pantries
each month and works closely with two local elementary schools, Phillip Showell
and John Clayton. This month we are collecting backpacks and supplies for
students in families that do not have the means to buy these items. We have been
excited to contribute to AmeriCorps’ Summer Literacy program which seeks to
deliver targeted reading instruction for K-5 to help keep low income students from
losing skills over the summer. There are 19 organizations and programs in which
Outreach is involved. Please take a look at the Outreach Star display in the Parish
Hall to see all the partners St. Martha’s helps.
Join us as we worship together in person.

things living with plenteousness: Bless the lands and waters,
and multiply the harvests of the world; let thy Spirit go
forth, that it may renew the face of the earth; show thy
loving-kindness, that our land may give her increase; and
save us from selfish use of what thou givest, that men and
women everywhere may give thee thanks; through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
Have a wonderful week!
