Located in beautiful Shady Cove, Oregon, just north of the winding Rogue River, St. Martin's is a small, inclusive Christian community that seeks to love and serve God and our neighbor in the Episcopal tradition. Our church family takes joy in gathering to worship, serve and break bread together in Jesus' Name.  We want to be good neighbors in Shady Cove, and we partner with individuals and organizations in the Upper Rogue to respond to the needs of the world around us with compassion and generosity. We take seriously Jesus' command to "love one another as I have loved you." In this time of great concern for our nation and world, we seek to be a healing presence for one another and the world around us.

Whether you are a seasoned Episcopalian, a first-time visitor, or fall somewhere in between, you are welcome at St. Martin's! We are comprised of and reach out to the young and the old, the seasoned and the newcomer, those who are married and those who are divorced, partnered and single individuals, widows and widowers, those who identify as straight and those who identify as LGBTQ, the wealthy and those with limited resources, and families and individuals from any racial, ethnic, cultural or faith background. We are of different backgrounds and experiences, and we value the differences that enrich our faith community.

St. Martin's is now holding outdoor worship on Sundays at 11 a.m. (except in the case of rain or a higher risk level for Jackson County due to increase COVID-19 cases, in which case we will hold conference call worship). As vaccinations increase and coronavirus cases decrease in our region, we hope to resume more activities when it is safe. For now, we are grateful to worship together outdoors, a sign of new life!

Laundry Love is on hiatus until we can safely offer this outreach again. Our next large Food Pantry will be Friday, April 30. We sometimes hold smaller Food Pantries during the month. Watch our Facebook page to know about additional Food Pantries. May this blessing that often concludes our worship be a blessing to you.

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.
