Welcome to St. Martin Shady Cove

Located in beautiful Shady Cove, Oregon, just north of the winding Rogue River, St. Martin's is a small, inclusive and welcoming faith community that strives to love and serve God and our neighbor in the Episcopal tradition. Our church family takes joy in worshipping and breaking bread together in Jesus' Name.  God loves us all, warts and all.  When we fail to love as God loves us, we seek God's forgiveness -- and find it showered upon us in boundless ways. 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 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.

We worship Sundays at 10AM, followed by fellowship and refreshments downstairs.

Our next monthly Food Pantry will be Friday, July 28 (through the summer months, we will begin at 10 AM instead of 11AM). We sometimes hold smaller Mini-Pantries during the month. Watch our Facebook page or look for the sign at the corner of Hwy 62 and Cleveland. 

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.

All are Welcome

We invite you to worship with us Sundays at 10AM. Our vicar,  the Rev. Laura Sheridan-Campbell, leads worship most Sundays, supported by wonderful clergy and lay leaders. Together we pray, read and hear the WORD, sing hymns and share the sacred meal of holy communion.  We continue to social distance to protect the most vulnerable among us. We encourage any who are immunocompromised to wear a mask, and masks and hand sanitizer are available at the entrance. 

We  offer a conference call option for those who live outside of the area, or who cannot join in person. Worship is audiostreamed for those who want to listen. If you'd like the conference call information, please e-mail us at vicar@stmartinshadycove.org.  

We also pray together via ZOOM on most Wednesdays at 9 AM. For more information on how to join us, please e-mail vicar@stmartinshadycove.org or leave a call back message at  541.878.2166.  Occasionally we have livestreamed worship. Our Christmas worship from 2020 is posted on our Facebook page (see the blue button below), or on Youtube at https://youtube/2dItTXJFhcg

We hold in prayer all who struggle through these difficult times.

May God shower our community with healing and hope.

 

Food Pantry Fri. September 29 10 or 11AM 

We offer as much healthy food as possible to our neighbors in need.  Fresh and non-perishable food is offered by volunteers in an outdoor drive-through format. In hot weather, we begin at 10AM. In cooler weather, we begin at 11AM. We serve until the food is gone. We only ask for first name and number of adults and children in a family. If you drive, please stay in your vehicle and volunteers will bring the food to you. If you are on bicycle or foot, we can package food in ways easy to carry.

To learn more, please visit the Food Pantry link on this website. We are SO appreciative of our leaders and volunteers, the foundations who have given us generous grants to sustain and expand our work, and the organizations and individuals who partner with us to feed our neighbors

God bless Shady Cove and the Upper Rogue!
