Portals
A portal is an opening into participating in the life of the St. Martin’s community. Worship, either on Sunday mornings or weekdays is a large portal into participation in the life of St. Martin’s. For those for whom Episcopal worship is presently a step too far, other portals invite you into association with activities that might interest you as a member of the neighborhood and the wider community that surrounds St. Martin’s.
