St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Shady Cove, Oregon
Please join us
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 10 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 will resume more ministries over the coming weeks and months.
Laundry Love is on hiatus until we can safely offer this outreach again. Our next large Food Pantry will be Friday, July 30th from 11 a.m. -- 1:30 p.m.. We sometimes hold smaller Flash Pantries during the month. Watch our Facebook page for notice. 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.
YOU ARE WELCOME HERE
We offer as much healthy food as possible to our neighbors in need. Fresh and non-perishable food will be offered in an outdoor drive-through format. We only ask for first name and number of adults and children in the household. If you drive, please stay in your vehicle and volunteers will bring the food to you.
God bless our community!
Our Mission is to provide for the spiritual, educational, and social needs of our congregation and the community. To nurture a positive relationship with Shady Cove and the greater Upper Rogue community, we respond with compassion to the hopes, needs and concerns of the world around us. We provide outreach services, space and support programs, ministries, events and activities. Compassion, dignity, justice, excellence, and integrity are our watchwords. The ministry of Jesus is our model as we strive to be steadfast in serving all, especially those in need. We pray that we may continue to be granted the strength, courage, and love we need to serve God, each other and the world.
