St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Shady Cove, Oregon
A light in Shady Cove
Located in beautiful Shady Cove, Oregon, just north of the winding Rogue River, St. Martin's is an inclusive and welcoming faith community. We love and serve God and our neighbor in the Episcopal tradition, and we seek to bring healing and hope to a hurting world in Jesus' Name. God loves us, warts and all! Whether you are a seasoned Episcopalian, a first-time visitor, or fall somewhere in between, we welcome you! We are comprised of and reach out to the young and the old, the seasoned and the newcomer, the married and divorced, partnered and single, widows and widowers, those who identify as straight and those who identify as LGBTQ, and persons of all racial, ethnic, gender, cultural and faith identities. We are of different backgrounds, identities and experiences, and we value the differences that enrich our faith community. Here is our closing blessing for each Sunday:
Life is short,
and we do not have too much time to gladden the hearts of those
who travel the way with us.
So be swift to love, and make haste to be kind.
And may the Divine Mystery who is beyond our ability to know
but who made us and who loves us and who travels with us,
bless us and keep us in peace. Amen.
Palm Sunday March 24 10AM -- We will join Christians throughout the world in remembering Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. We will give away palm leaves and crosses as we sing songs of praise. Together we read the gospel that tells of Jesus' arrest, trial and crucifixion. We break bread together and share the joys of fellowship. All are welcome!
Good Friday March 29 Noon -- On this day, we remember Jesus' crucifixion and His great love that conquered all hate. We carry the cross through Shady Cove, pausing at different points along the way to read scripture and pray. We will meet at St. Martin's parking lot at 11:45AM. The walk to the Upper Rogue Park takes about 1 hour. Please join us!
Easter Day March 31 10AM All are welcome to join our church family as we sing hymns of praise, hear the Easter story and pray in hope and peace. We will decorate a cross with fresh flowers. Holy Communion worship will unfold into an Easter brunch. Please join us!
Please note one week early in March due to Holy Week.
