Funeral Choir Members Needed Do you like to sing? Are you available during the day for an hour or two? You may be interested in a new ministry at St. Martin’s. We offer an organist to play at our Funer- al Liturgies and are in need of a few extra voices to sing the hymns and Responsorial Psalm. We are hoping that if 5-10 people volunteer, we would have enough people so that you would not be called for every funeral. Please call Mary at 330-483-3808, ext. 234 if you would like more details about this fulfilling ministry.
“Live Like a Saint” Summer Camp is Coming! Mark your calendars for St. Martin’s Summer Camp— Monday, June 18 through Friday June 22, 9:00 a.m. to noon. Camp is for children preschool age through 5th grade in the fall. Registration for Campers will begin May 12. Right now we need our students that will be in 6th grade through High School in September to help put on the Camp. Sign up in the Gathering Area now. We will meet twice a week to design sets, practice plays and music. If you can only come once a week, that is fine. Monday, May 21 at 6:30 p.m. in the Education Building is our first informational meeting. Please plan on attend- ing this meeting. The two practice and design dates each week will be Tuesday and Thursday from 6:30—8:00 p.m.
Congo Water Project Update Thank you so much for your support to date for our Congo Water Project. We have raised over half of our goal. Father Vincent will be returning to St. Martin’s in June before he returns to the Congo. We will present him with a check then so his village will be able to build the water well that they so desperately need.
