This Week from Mitch

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I hope and pray that you are well. One of my favorite St. Martin's "traditions" is a day that is not really on the calendar, but it happens nonetheless. Typically, one summer day or evening, I will get a text or call from either Chad or Shannon Poteat saying they have corn and they will be heading to the church. Shannon's dad, John Till, also a member of the parish, always plants some sweet corn for family, friends, and, thankfully, St. Martin's. Well, I got the call last night. This Sunday, Father's Day will also be Corn Sunday. Come get some corn to go with your Sunday night BBQ. Gather around the truck, fill a bag, tell a story, and have fun. 

On another note, Summer is also a great time to try something new. I don't know about you, but I have been incredibly impressed by our flowers this season. Our Flower Guild, led by Shari Hutchinson, has really made some amazing arrangements. Last Sunday's Pentecost arrangements were simply stunning. She would like to invite more people to join in this ministry. She and Denise Smith will be hosting Roses and Rosé on Sunday afternoon, June 22, at 5 PM in the Garden Room. It will be a flower-arranging class taught by a professional, open to all. Come sip, have fun, and learn how to make amazing arrangements for your table, house, or perhaps even our altar. All are welcome!

In Christ,

Mitch
