Largest Volunteer Activities in the Church: Choir, POWER, Stephen Ministry
Core Programs/Thriving Ministries at St. Martin’s
The Choir Program
High commitment, high quality, high inspiration, high artistry
1. We have built a strong and growing 9 a.m. choir
2. We have rebuilt the Treble Choir
3. We have created a thriving and in-demand choir camp
4. The choir program is in an active anti-racism process
5. Parish musicians of all types can participate in the program
6. Fully aligned with our core values and mission – “Life in the Holy Spirit is beautiful!”
Stephen Ministry
High commitment, high quality, high demand, strong lay-leadership
1. Stephen Ministers are in constant demand; we often have more people requesting care givers than we have
to offer.
2. This is a lay-led program!
3. The clergy rely on this ministry. We could not provide pastoral care on this scale.
4. The ministry serves members and non-members.
5. The program is well organized, accountable, and constantly in the process of learning.
6. Fully aligned with our mission and core values – “In giving and receiving care, we encounter Christ!”
SUPPER at St. Martin’s
A program that creates community while serving the food insecure, lonely, and isolated.
1. SUPPER serves as many as 146 people every other Wednesday evening. Average attendance is around 120
people.
2. SUPPER has had a transformative effect on hospitality at St. Martin’s and the feeling of community among
our members and neighbors.
3. The SUPPER crew is a wonderful, mutually supportive group that includes neighborhood volunteers
including children and youth.
4. SUPPER is totally lay-led!
5. SUPPER has almost no impact on our budget.
No one can say that the people of St. Martin’s are just sitting around twiddling their
thumbs. By the end of last year’s Annual Meeting, the planning for accessibility
expansion to the church and parish house was in high gear and almost fully-
funded. This spring we were able to light the Easter fire on our new terrace
and enter into the church on the ramp. By August plans for the rousing 125th
Anniversary Celebration were proceeding with leaps and bounds. A new Associate
for Spiritual Formation and Care, Barbara Ballenger, had started her work here.
Budget initiatives appeared at the September vestry meeting for 2015. A new vestry
member, David Harrower, agreed to head an expanded property committee, which
has been taking on a variety of planning and maintenance tasks throughout the year.
In late autumn we lived into our 125th Anniversary maxim, “Rooted in Christ, Branching Out, Bearing Fruit” in the
splendid dinner celebration, replete with dancing where pews had been a few days earlier. The next sesquicentennial
began. One of the first branches bearing fruit was the assemblage of the results from our discernment of Core and
Aspirational Values. Buoyed by this vision, the vestry began shaping actions by these values. Further work in Anti-
Racism practice was heartily endorsed.
The New Year brought news that stewardship pledges had surpassed even our stretch goal of $560,000 by over
$2,000. We also learned that the Associate for Formation and Family Ministry, Callie Swanlund, would be leaving.
At the vestry retreat in March we spent an entire
day intently focused on governance, anti-racism, the
welcoming aspect and ease of worship in services, and
what our vision is for children and youth. It was uplifting
and exhausting! We quickly began the next step of
calling in a consultant to learn more about our worship
services and who we are in 2015. I hope every one of you
completed the CATechism of questions that was sent out
in late May. The barrage of cat photos, musical interludes,
and bad puns left no stone unturned in appealing to
everyone to complete the questionnaire. We’ll soon hear
the results.
May was also marked by an uplifting and moving farewell for the Rev. Callie Swanlund and her family. They brought
many spiritual gifts and joy to the parish. In July we will welcome the Rev. Anne Thatcher, as she begins her work as
Associate for Formation.
So here ends the CATalogue of an unCATaclysmic year. Thanks be to God. And thanks also to the CATegoric end
of feline CATachresis.
Pam Hill, Rector’s Warden

Women Connecting
A remarkable retreat experience for women on a Saturday once per season.
1. Once again, a totally lay-led program. Initiated by clergy but owned by the participants.
2. 30-40 women participate at each session.
3. Hard to overestimate the incredible depth of spiritual intimacy and depth that is shared by this group.
4. Includes members and non-members, reaches out to the neighborhood.
5. Is in the process of constant reflection, evaluation, and learning.
6. Has plans to reach out to younger women and possibly meet with the men of the parish too.
7. Fully aligned with our core values – “Learning leads to God”
Stable Program/Administrative Areas
1. Budget and Finance – The Finance Committee has great lay-leadership, organized processes, and strong
staff support from Book-keeper and Administrator. We have made strong improvements in record
keeping, budgeting, and oversight. The group is not afraid to tackle complicated issues and to make
decisions.
• Human Resources – We made great strides in coming into compliance in the HR area around
benefits this past year.
• There is some interest in Ethical Investing for the parish endowment.
• There is avid interest in putting the management of the endowment out to bid this year.
2. Stewardship – The Stewardship Committee has raised our pledge income from $515k in 2011 to
$563K this year. We made the transformational decision to pursue STEWARDSHIP and to not do
FUNDRAISING. We have thrown great parties and put out strong Annual Appeal mailings. We are
branching out into Planned Giving as our next step. We need to add some new people to the committee.
3. Communications – Under the leadership of Natalee Hill, and with the initial help of a lay committee led
by Barbara Dundon and the consultation of Michael Prell, the sophistication of our communications
program has grown exponentially since 2011. TWASM was replaced by Field Notes, the website was
totally renovated, a Newsletter has been re-established, we have a broad social media footprint, podcasts
have been added. Possible next steps include regularly recording our sermons and podcasting them.
4. Forum Hour – Adult programming at the 10 a.m. hour continues to be strong as we transition from
intellectual tourism to “learning that leads to God.” Between 40 to 50 people attend. The average age
of this group is older than the median for the church. Callie’s new “Parenting in Faith” has added an
excellent new addition to this time slot. Forum Hour is the one opportunity we have to do leadership with
a large group at St. Martin’s beside sermons and liturgy.
5. Outreach – Major progress here in the last 4 years both in amount given and in clarity of procedure and
process. Please see the results of this progress and the processes developed on pages 19-23.
6. POWER – Surprisingly, POWER is the largest volunteer activity in the Parish after the Choirs. We have
excellent lay leadership from Susan MacBride and clergy leadership from Carol Duncan. Does the parish
fully understand and support this work?
7. Properties – In the last three years we have built a stable and organized properties committee that
has some clear principals for how to operate. 4 years ago properties was handled through the finance
committee by a member of the congregation who was paid $5,000/year. We now have a totally volunteer
operation and we are making steady progress on deferred maintenance and capital improvements.
8. Liturgical Ministries – The lay ministries at St. Martin’s that support liturgy are exceptionally well
organized and lay-led.
9. Biblical Studies – This lay-led learning program made the transition from leadership by the founder to
leadership by a committee including the founder during 2014. It continues to have strong participation
mostly by retired members. Participation is growing.
10. Men for Others – In its third year of existence Men for Others is finding its legs, developing a larger and
more regular attendance, and deepening its conversations. Mostly lay-led.
Areas in Development
1. Church School – While our church school is better than most surrounding churches we still need to
develop a clear notion of what we are trying to achieve in the formation of our children and a lay-led
structure that oversees and improves this area of ministry on a regular basis. Forming our children is
central to our baptismal identity. Are we handing on the faith to them in a lasting way that will serve their
needs and enhance their gifts? Can they give an account of the faith that is in them by the time they leave
our program?
2. Youth Programming – We have had good progress in growing the size and participation of High School
and Junior High Youth. The same questions asked above also apply here. My vision is a youth program
that is so supportive, warm, and inquisitive that it attracts new youth and friends of our youth. I think an
investment in this area would pay dividends. This is the hardest area to recruit lay catechists and youth
leaders.
3. Wellspring – Barbara Ballenger has vastly improved the organization and management of Wellspring from
the budgeting to committee leadership. We are still experimenting with program and struggling to build a
wider circle of users.
4. Hospitality – While Hospitality has improved in the last 4 years with greater attendance after the 11:15
a.m. and more hospitality participation between the services. For folks who do not want to attend Forum,
what do we offer? My vision is that we move Hospitality to the Houston Room where everyone gets
coffee and snacks before forum and folks stay behind to socialize too. This will take some adaptive change
for the 9 a.m. congregation who tend to linger in the church talking to friends instead of crossing the
driveway. We need a critical mass to stay to make this a welcoming opportunity.
5. Health Ministry - Still in process of launching.
Areas Requiring Attention and Planning
1. Anti-Racism/Becoming Beloved Communtiy
2. Liturgy reveiwed according to our stated values.
3. Parish Deliberation and Decision Making process – More transparent process
Ministries that are passing away…
1. Liturgists – We are retaining liturgists at the 8 a.m. service and ending the ministry at the 9 and 11:15 a.m.

The Mission of the Church of St. Martin in the Fields is to Welcome all seekers; Worship God in liturgy, music
and prayer; Equip all baptized persons for ministry; and Engage as agents of Christ’s love in the world.
Opening Prayer
The Rector welcomed everyone to the Annual Meeting, noting how exciting the past year had been. He then led
those assembled in prayer.
Call to Order
The meeting was called to order by Pam Hill, the Rector’s Warden, at 11:40 a.m.; she declared the presence of a
quorum.
Recognition of Rob Fleming
The Rector asked Rob Fleming to come forward and be recognized for the extraordinary work that he and the
“Dirty Knees Gang” performed to restore and renew the columbarium. It is a sacred place at St. Martin’s, and it
has never looked better.
Approval of Minutes
Upon motion of James Hill, seconded by Fred Seving, the Minutes of the 2013 Annual Meeting were approved as
distributed.
Election of Vestry and Diocesan Delegates
Upon motion duly made and seconded, Meredith Broussard, Gary Duncan, David Harrower, and James Simpson
were unanimously elected to four-year terms on the Vestry, and Melissa Buckingham, Susan Davis, Donna Duncan,
and Rush Smith (alternate), were unanimously elected as Diocesan Delegates.
Report on Values Clarification
The Rector reported on the outcome of the process of values clarification in which the Parish had been engaged
for several months. “Core Values” are at the heart of who we are as a Community. Three Core Values were
identified: (1) Learning Leads to God; (2) We encounter Christ in caring for others and in receiving care; (3) We
strive for beauty in worship, physical spaces, and life together. Creativity is inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Rector
commented on the breathless curiosity of St. Martin’s, where all forms of learning were valued. He also noted that
from his earliest days at the Parish, he had noticed a ferocious commitment towards each other, including feeding,
loving and intense caring. Finally, the Parish values beauty, not just physical beauty, but a recognition that life in the
Holy Sprit is beautiful.
He also set forth the “Aspirational Values” which have emerged. These are values to which the Parish is committed
but have not yet been fully achieved. They are: (1) Community Engagement and Social Justice; (2) Unconditional
Welcome and Inclusion; (3) A community that calls forth the gifts of all its people; and (4) Becoming a Racism-
Free and Diverse Community that reflects the City where we worship. The Rector commented on each, referencing
the POWER minimum wage project, the ramp for handicap access, Wednesday suppers, and the racism training of
the staff and Vestry as initiatives in each of the value areas. He then asked those present to take several minutes in
small groups to discuss both the Core and Aspirational values.
2014 Annual Meeting Minutes
June 15, 2014
Report on Jenks Primary Partnership
Barbara Thomson Previdi expressed a “huge thank you” from Jenks concerning the success of the partnership
during the past year between Jenks and St. Martin’s. It was a year of uncertainty at Jenks because of the fiscal
problems of the School District. The partnership focused on providing after school enrichment programs, namely
a soccer club, a zoology club, a homework club, and a music club. The Rector has been active in the soccer club,
contributing his time and talent on the field. She noted that the head of the zoology club found the after school
club particularly satisfying due to the high and sustained participation level of the students. The Rector added that
St. Martin’s had donated $3,000 to revamp the zoology lab.
Recognition of POWER Leadership
The Rector thanked Sue McBride, Carol Duncan, Helen Marter and all the volunteers whose amazing effort won
a referendum in the City endorsing an increase in the fair wage for City Contracts. He praised their passion,
dedication and vision in an undertaking which aligned directly with one of our aspirational values.
Finance and Budget Report
Bob Allen reported that the Church was in sound financial condition. Pledge giving achieved the budgeted goal
of $515,000. Collection plate and other forms of giving totaled $41,509 and exceeded budget by 24%. Overall,
giving in 2013 was approximately the same as giving in 2012. Favorable market conditions allowed the Woodward
Trust trustees to increase the Parish’s share of the annual trust income by $20,000 to $200,000 annually. Income
from the Parish’s own endowment funds also increased slightly to $163,671. The Parish staff exercised excellent
expense controls in 2013, with expenses coming in $6,000 under budget and 2.5% under 2012 expenses. Despite
the reduction in expenses, the Parish was able to increase the Outreach and Formation budgets, provide cost
of living salary adjustments for staff and clergy, and provide a small bonus pool to recognize high performing
staff members. St. Martin’s also hired a part time parish administrator beginning in August, 2013. As to capital
improvement projects, the Parish funded $195,705 of capital improvements in 2013, including the renovation of
Hillary House for Wellspring. The 2014 Budget calls for an increase of pledge giving from $515,000 to $535,000 in
2014. The additional revenue will provide funding for increased Outreach giving, a full year’s salary for the part-
time office administrator, salary increases for the Rector, Assistant for Formation, and Music Director, an increase
in the Diocesan pledge, and additional buildings and grounds maintenance. To date, total giving for the year has
exceeded budget, and the parish has raised $202,000 for the Next Level Campaign.
At the conclusion of the Report, the Rector recognized the 15 years of service of Ed Manwaring, who has
announced that he will retire from his accounting practice. Ed implemented the accounting program and practices
that have been so successful at St. Martin’s. Ed expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to serve, and those
present warmly thanked him for a job well done.
Report on Music Diversity
Erik Meyer reported on increased diversity in music at St. Martin’s, noting that the 9 a.m. service now uses music
from many different cultures and musical traditions. Our music programs are not just based upon one heritage.

Rector’s Warden Report
Pam Hill reminded everyone that a year ago the construction work for Wellspring had not yet begun, the parish’s
work with POWER had not yet chosen minimum wage as a project, and the handicap access project was not yet
being planned. It has been a remarkable year of accomplishment. She pointed to the importance of our values
clarification efforts, and how we are realizing our aspirations through broader inclusion. We have the ability to
define our mission, our values, and who we are becoming. She urged us all to ask for God’s strength as we seek to
accomplish this work.
Commendations
The Rector and Pam Hill thanked the outgoing Vestry Members for their four years of service: Barbara Dundon,
Bob Previdi, and Hyacinth Wood. Each were given a small token of the parish’s appreciation. The Rector also
thanked Pam Hill and Bob Allen for their service as Wardens, noting they bring out the best in him.
Adjournment
The meeting concluded with a closing prayer at 12:40 p.m.

her husband John Wentz, her preschool daughter Barbara, and stepsons Charlie, a high
schooler, and Patrick, a rising sophomore at Drew University. John and Charlie sing in the
Chancel Choir, which enriches the 11:15 service that Justina sometimes attends with the
help of childcare. Typically, though, she attends worship.together with Barbara, who
likes to dance rather than recite the Creed. She has attended St. Martin’s since 2012, drawn
by the parish’s family ministry as well as its social justice mission. She is honored and
delighted to be nominated for the vestry.
Mary Hopkins (Vestry) said “Yes” to serve on the Vestry because she loves this
place and the people in this place, past and present. She loves the sacred space, the music,

goodness and love from St. Martin’s and am truly grateful. Mary is excited with the new life
of spirited energy so apparent in this growing parish.
Teresa Parris (Vestry, 3-year term) has been a member of St. Martin’s since 2014.
She is a member of the Hospitality Committee and is Chair of College Care Packages, a

been an important cross-generational community for Michaela and she looks forward to
contributing to a place she calls home. In her spare time, Michaela enjoys running, baby-
sitting, photography, and audio production.
Deborah Schaaf (Vestry) grew up in Arlington, Virginia and was raised in
the Episcopal Church. She and her husband David have attended St. Martin’s since
1981, and brought up their two sons here. She enjoys being a church school teacher, a

co-chair of Feet First Philly, a pedestrian advocacy group.
Andrew Roberts (Vestry) has been a member of St. Martin’s since about 1990.
Presently an Usher for the 9:00 am service, he was on the vestry under the leadership of
David Dieck and Marj Dupuis, and also served as one of the co-chairs of the Stewardship
Committee for 2008 and 2009. He and his wife, Susan, have two grown daughters, Lee
and Katherine. Andy is a physician, a member of the faculty of Temple University School
of Medicine, who did vascular surgery until last July 1st. Now he is keeping occupied by
seeing patients two days a week and by being in charge of medical student education for
the Department of Surgery. The combination has kept him from driving Susan nuts, and if
he is returned to the vestry, her life should be even better.

During the 125th Anniversary of the Church of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, the Stewardship Committee
continued its efforts to further develop a comprehensive, year-round stewardship program to fully engage
St. Martin’s parishioners as agents of Christ’s love, ignite a spirit of sustained, generous stewardship, and
create a congregation of generous people.
2015 Annual Giving Appeal – “Rooted in Christ, Branching Out, Bearing Fruit”
Chaired by Alan Good
The 2015 Annual Giving campaign set three goals:
1. Increase pledge participation to 100% of parish households,
2. Generate $550,000 in total pledge revenue with two specific areas of
focus:
a) Funds to assist the Sexton’s efforts in cleaning, yard work and
snow removal.
b) Funds to support and expand our new Wellspring Ministry and the
wide range of formation opportunities for all ages at St. Martin’s,
3. To increase funding by inviting parishioners to consider increasing
their pledges by $125, $1,250, etc. to commemorate the 125th
Anniversary.
125th Gala Kicked off the 2015 Annual Giving Stewardship
Campaign
This year, our annual Stewardship Kickoff event (Celebrate.
Together) was transformed into a true gala to commemorate
our 125th anniversary and introduce this year’s annual giving
campaign. Complete with dinner and dancing in the church, this
event brought 192 parishioners together for an extraordinary
celebration. And in the true spirit of generosity, 12 parishioners
made contributions totaling close to $1,000 to ensure that those
who wanted to attend the 125th Gala, but could not afford a
ticket, could participate.
Planned Giving Program Redefined at St.
Martin’s
The St. Martin’s Stewardship Committee continued
to develop policies and programming to market and
promote education about planned giving as well
as celebrate and strengthen the St. Martin’s Legacy
Society.
2014 - 2015 Stewardship Committee Members:
Debra Roberts (chair), Nicole Bowman, Jim Buehler,
Matt Cooper, Alan Good, Pam Hill, The Rev. Jarrett

2014 Financial Results
Revenue
St. Martin’s reported the third consecutive year of strong financial performance. Pledge giving totaled $530,176,
slightly under the Stewardship and budget goal of $535,000. However, the Parish continued to receive 2014 pledges
through May 2015. Collection plate and other forms of giving totaled $43,412 and exceeded budget by 26%. Total
giving was $573,633, a 3% increase over 2013.
Woodward Trust income increased by $8,000 in 2014. The increase is due to one of the seven beneficiaries of
the Trust being declared no longer eligible to benefit from the Trust. St. Martin’s and the other five remaining
beneficiaries will each receive an additional $33,000 annually from the Woodward Trust. The $8,000 additional
income received in 2014 represents approximately one quarter of the additional annual income to be received going
forward. Income from the Parish’s own endowment funds also increased to $169,931. $127,873 of endowment
income was distributed to the operating budget and $42,058 was contributed to the Capital Improvement Fund for
capital repair projects. The endowment fund market value was $3,811,413 at year end 2014 and $4,057,805 at May
31, 2015.
Expenses
The Parish staff exercised excellent expense controls in 2014. Total Expenses were slightly under budget despite a
period of overlap of salaries and benefits for the new Associate for Spiritual Formation & Care and the departing
Associate Rector.
Capital Improvement Projects
The Parish funded $214,692 of capital improvements in 2014, compared to $195,705 in 2013. The access ramp
accounted for $195,637 of capital expenditures and was funded by $200,000 in gifts to the Next Level Campaign.

The Parish paid its full Diocesan Assessment of $30,610 (the Diocesan request) and pledged and paid an additional
$15,000 to the Diocese in 2014.

2014 & 2015 Year-To-Date Accomplishments
Betsy Wolford joined the Parish staff as part time Parish Accountant effective June 9, 2014. Betsy is in the office at
St. Martin’s every Monday. Over the past several months, Betsy made some significant improvements to the Parish’s
financial administration. These include:
• Creating individual monthly ministry reports for staff and other stakeholders for regular expense and
budget review.
• Updating and restructuring the general ledger chart of accounts to match current ministry needs.
• Establishing a detailed line-by-line budgeting process with input from all stakeholders.
• Implementing PayPal for program registration fees, in collaboration with Natalee Hill.
In addition, the Finance Committee completed an evaluation of the Parish’s insurance program and determined
that the Parish should stay with the Diocesan Master Insurance Program. In March 2015, the Finance Committee
completed a Request for Proposal process for an accounting firm. The Committee selected BBD, LLP from among
three proposals. The Finance Committee and Vestry approved an upgrade in the level of annual financial statement
prepared to a full audit. BBD, LP is currently in the process of completing the 2014 audit.
2015 Budget
The Finance Committee and Vestry approved a budget that calls for pledge giving to increase from $535,000 to
$550,000 in 2015. Woodward Trust income was budgeted to increase to $233,333 and income from the Parish’s
endowment fund budgeted to increase slightly over 2014’s level.
The additional revenue budgeted in 2015 will provide funding for:
• Increased Outreach giving
• A family healthcare plan for the Associate for Communications & Administration
• Pension fund contributions for the Sexton
• New programs and honoraria for presenters at Wellspring – offset by some fee income
• Paid Diocesan staff for the rapidly growing Vacation Bible School
• Increased funding for Pastoral Care and Hospitality programs
• An increase in our Diocesan Assessment and voluntary Diocesan Pledge
• Funding for periodic contract cleaning of the Church to assist the Sexton.
Expenses are projected to total $976,921, a 6% increase over expenses in 2014.
2015 Year to Date
St. Martin’s parishioners have been generous again 2015. For the five months ended May 2014, total giving exceeded
the budgeted amount by 6%. Total expenses through May 2015 were 6% less than the budgeted amount.
Finance Committee
(continued)
The Outreach Committee is charged with identifying opportunities for the church to engage with the community
through volunteer activities and sharing the parish’s financial resources in the form of grants. The committee has
ten current members (Kate Maus, Chair; Jess Ballenger, Carol Duncan, Terry Clattenberg, Grace McGinley, Susie
MacBride, Dorrie Schenkel, Barbara Thomson, Greg Williams, and Hyacinth Wood). Committee membership
is open to any member of St. Martin’s and new members are welcome. If you would like to participate on the
Committee, please contact any committee member or clergy person to express your interest.
For the 2014-2015 program year, the total funds budgeted for Outreach was $119,145. This includes grants
awarded to three Primary Partners, twenty Good Neighbor grantees and other small grant recipients, as well as
the discretionary portion of the diocesan pledge, a contribution to Episcopal Community Services, support for
the Companion Parish relationship with Guatemala and membership in POWER (Philadelphians Organizing to
Witness, Empower and Rebuild).
Current Primary Partnership relationships are with J. S. Jenks Elementary School, the Jubilee School, and Teen
UpRise. Primary Partners receive significant financial support and are in the second year of the current three-year
grant period. Primary Partner organizations include strong participation by St. Martin’s parishioners as volunteers.
Good Neighbor and other grants of $1,500 or less were awarded this year to more than 20 organizations including
those focusing on local, citywide, and national or international issues. Organizations receiving grants provided
services in the areas of education, support for vulnerable families and individuals, and ending gun violence.
Other activities sponsored by the Outreach Committee have included a Fill the Backpack project with Episcopal
Community Services and soliciting and fulfilling requests from parishioners who are teachers in Philadelphia public
schools for materials and supplies for their classrooms.
Through the funding designated for Equipping the Saints (support for parishioners in furthering the goals of
outreach and community engagement) several people were able to attend the Diocesan Anti-Racism training course.
Currently, the Committee is engaging with the parish in a process of Sacred Listening. Through this
process we will assure that outreach funding decisions and activities are consistent with parishioners’ priority areas
of concern. Parishioners have been asked to nominate causes they believe deserve our attention and support. Based
on these conversations, the Outreach Committee will identify priorities for funding and volunteer activities for the
coming years. Please see an explanation of our process on the next two pages.
Hearing Beyond our Walls
Outreach Highlights 2014-2015
Stories from the Cupboard
Parishioners are very generous in not only how much they give to
St. Vincent’s Food Cupboard (in Germantown), but also in the quality of their
contributions. Cereal runs four or five dollars, Progresso soup is $2.50 a can, canned meat runs
at least a couple dollars. Many of these types of items appear every week. I estimate an average
of $2 per donation which translates into about $200 for each delivery. If we continued
at this pace, it would amount to about $5,000 of high quality food for
hungry families over the course of a year. Such is the power of
many hands and minds working together.

Outreach Priority-Making Process
Goal: Renew our Outreach Grant-making priorities on a regular basis to make sure that the Outreach Committee is
guided by the input of the parish.
Goal: Regular cycles of participation and input will increase congregational engagement and interest in Outreach
projects.
We propose that every 3 years, at the mid-point of our three-year Primary Partner grant cycle, we:
1. Canvass the congregation for causes that our members care about.
a. All members will be invited to “Nominate 3 Causes” that are close to their heart.
i. Why 3? Limits force people to focus and choose.
b. Nominations will happen through a creative campaign using online and paper feedback forms made
available in newsletters, bulletins, online, etc.
c. Examples of “causes” will be given, as well as our existing causes to act as a guide.
d. Members can nominate our existing causes as well as new causes.
e. We would allow 3 to 4 weeks for collecting cause nominations.
2. After nominations are received,
a. The Outreach Committee or a sub-committee of Outreach will group the causes into “families” of
concern.
b. We will then seek out members to represent those concerns at the 10 a.m. Forum Hour.
c. We will ask for 2 consecutive 10 a.m. Forums to give presentations on the cause families and allow for
voting.
d. Voting will follow our ‘sacred dot’ process.
3. The results of the voting will guide the Outreach Committee and the Vestry in setting new priorities for the
next 3-year cycle.
Please see the results of our Nominate Your Causes campaign for 2015 on pages 22-23.
How We Set Priorities
Outreach: Welcoming and Discerning New Ministry Opportunities
When a member of the parish is interested in adding an Outreach Ministry to the work of the parish they will
follow this process:
1. They will approach the Rector, Outreach Chair, or any member of the Outreach Committee with their idea.
2. They will be invited to present their idea in detail at an Outreach Meeting, including:
a. Their vision, motivation, sense of parish interest, and plan for organizing and implementation.
3. The Outreach Committee is committed to offering an encouraging conversation with presenters which is
designed to discern and clarify the ministry proposal to see if it is the right ministry at the right time for St.
Martin’s.
4. Outcomes of the initial meeting may include:
a. We need more research, more information. Please follow up on questions and either return to a meeting
or email the committee.
b. We feel that this ministry has potential.
c. We feel that this ministry needs more thought and conversation.
d. We feel that this ministry does not align with the mission of St. Martin’s.
5. If the proposal has potential, we will ask:
a. The presenter to use the next 6 to 12 months to organize the ministry and report back.
b. Organizing the ministry means developing a small group of members committed to leading the ministry.
c. In that first 6 to 12 months we will ask the new group to plan and execute one event that advances the
new outreach ministry at St. Martin’s.
d. The Outreach Committee and staff will be a resource and guide to help the new ministry find its way.
6. If after a trial period the new ministry comes to life, we ask that the new group have:
a. An identified leader.
b. A plan for nurturing new leadership and new membership in the group.
c. A representative on the Outreach Committee.
How We Welcome Initiative
Process in Action: Climate Change group
The group attended the Climate Change March in New York last fall. An email list of about 14 developed.
Jess Ballenger and Greg Williams presented a Parish Forum in January to about 60 participants who listened to a
children’s story by Neil Gaiman called Wolves in the Wall and used that metaphor to talk about our own fears about
the fate of the earth and our own denial of the problem. The email list grew to about 28.
The Earth Day celebration in April included a zero waste SUPPER at St. Martin’s for about 165 people followed
by a workshop on facing our fears and taking action on climate change for 28 participants. The email list grew to
40+.
The group has had one organizing meeting and has decided to meet monthly.
They have affiliated with Pennsylvania Interfaith Power and Light and are cooking up other plans.

We aggressively recruited new students and were gratified by the
response and jumped our enrollment to 64 students – a 20%
increase but the maximum our building can sustain. This move
also brought in more income without more expenses and put our
name out in the neighborhood so that we can, if we can figure out
how to do it, grow the school even more.
We elected a new Board president, Stan Thompson, who is the
CEO of Play on Philly, a large organization specializing in teaching
underserved populations to play and perform an instrument.
Stan has led us in creating a stronger administrative team, hiring
Bookminders a bookkeeping agency, to start doing our accounting,
and finally getting our website up and running. Stan has also been
promoting an ambitious effort to find a new home for Jubilee which will allow us to grow to a more sustainable
enrollment. To this end, we hired the consultant Steven Holochwost, from WolfBrown.
We continue to be very grateful to St. Martin-in-the-Fields not only for our continued relationship as Outreach
Primary Partners and the funding that comes with that, but also for the work of two Board Members, Greg
Williams and Susan MacBride, and for 4 gardeners. This past year’s Mardi Gras celebration, put on by a huge
array of St. Martin’s volunteers for St. Martin’s parishioners and the faculty of Jubilee, was a huge success in so
many ways. Folks from the two communities got to better know each other as we ate, danced and had a wonderful
evening together. Jubilee also got an additional infusion of $5,809.57 from the admission price and a $500 grant of
seed money from the church. We all agree that we would be delighted if St. Martin’s and Jubilee could team up for
another such celebration in the future.
In terms of educational excellence, Karen reports that: “The third through sixth grade students are studying under-
told stories of Philadelphia history. We began the project with workshops led by Barbara Dundon [of St. Martin’s]
on gathering oral histories. She helped students to identify good questions to ask, and find creative ways of telling
the stories. The introduction was another wonderful contribution to Jubilee from St. Martin’s!
Our study of Philadelphia has evolved into some exciting partnerships with the University of Pennsylvania and
Temple University. The fourth and fifth grade class is studying W.E.B. Du Bois’ sociological study of a
neighborhood in South Philly called The Philadelphia Negro. A professor from Penn, who is an expert on DuBois’
study, is going to work with students to understand the methods and value of his work. They are then going to do
an oral history project in our neighborhood, lead by a Temple graduate student who created a History Truck, which
gathers stories from neighborhoods and creates displays. Our students will work in teams made up of two Jubilee
students and two Penn students. The results of their study will be on display at the Institute of Contemporary Art
on Penn’s Campus. St. Martin’s will be invited to the opening reception!
Another partnership taking place with Penn is with the sixth grade class. They have been invited to participate
in four workshops with Dr. Howard Stevenson, Professor of Urban and Africana Studies at Penn. The
workshops are around the “Black Lives Matter” movement, and our students will be filmed, and become part of a
presentation Dr. Stevenson is giving at Penn.
We’re so thankful for all the ways St. Martin’s has befriended and supported Jubilee over these many years, and look
forward to new ways of celebrating our partnership!
Primary Partner
Jubilee School
The main goals of the Primary Partner Program between the Friends of J.S. Jenks and the Church of St. Martin
in the Fields were to advance arts and sciences at the J.S. Jenks school by bringing the expertise of community
members into the schools, and to foster long-term connections between individual students and members of St.
Martin’s Church.
REACH Program
Our focus in our second year was to develop the REACH program in the school. Reach Incorporated is an
organization based in Washington D.C. that developed a program in which high school students are hired to be
elementary school reading tutors, creating academic benefit for both the students and their tutors. With support
of St. Martin’s, we adapted the program to hire 8th grade students who were struggling academically. They were
trained to tutor Kindergarten students who needed help with reading, thus helping both cohorts of students.
Funds were utilized to help pay for the program materials and training, as well as for a stipend for Mr. Fitzsimmons,
the J.S. Jenks 4th/5th grade teacher hired to run the program. This was a program strongly supported by the church
membership, and one that the school was eager to pilot.
After School Clubs
Soccer Club ran for 6 weeks in the fall. Funds were used to support a stipend for coach Mr. Robert Kenyon ($500).
Equine Club ran for 12 weeks in the spring. Funds were used to support a stipend for leader Ms. Rachel Ryan
($500), and for the purchase of bus tokens for participants to Northwest Stables (2 trips @ $162 each).
Musical Club - We utilized Program Partner funds to purchase a musical script (Once on this Island [$600]) and
pay a stipend to our music teacher to run an after school club for musical rehearsals (Mr. Kell, $500 stipend).
We utilized funds from the grant to establish the First Tee Golf program at the school ($2,100). Coach Laura
Whitney is the coordinator for the program.
NASA Space Camp Scholarships
Last summer, the school began a partnership with NASA and sent a small cohort of students to participate
in the Virginia Space Flight Academy camp. At the space camp, students tour NASA facilities, learn about
rocketry, utilize lego robotics, and build and launch rockets. Each student, upon returning to school in the Fall,
reported on their experiences to their entire class, and spearheaded the class’ continued collaboration with NASA
through Skype sessions. Thus, the students acted as ambassadors to their classes, presenting summaries of their
experiences and helping to inspire others while building their own self-esteem and confidence. One of the
students who attended last year, Alan Graham, was featured in an article in the Philadelphia Tribune. In the article
Alan explains the impact the experience had on him and on his future career goals. It was a life-transforming
experience for him, and his family and his entire class that he was able to share his experiences with. With funds
from St. Martin’s, we will be able to provide $500 scholarships to 15 Middle School Academy students to offset the
costs of attending the Space Camp Program this summer (total expenditures: $7,500).
Goals for Year Three of the Primary Partner Grant
The programs we have supported during the first two years of the Primary Partner grant have been successful,
and made a significant impact on the student’s at J.S. Jenks. During the third year of the grant we aim to grow
the existing programs supported by the grant, but also focus on strengthening the ties between the two
institutions – Jenks and St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Particularly, we would like to be able to engage the St. Martin’s
community more, with greater volunteer involvement and better communication about the programs at the school
and ways in which parishioners can contribute to them. As there are now several parents at J.S. Jenks who are
church members, we feel that this will be more feasible in the coming year. Jenks parents Lucy Baber (Kindergarten)
and Paul McNair (5th Grade) will take a larger role in fostering the partnership.

Building relationships with a scholarship family in
Chichicastenengo.
The Companion Parish Committee funds a variety of programs and projects proposed by our partner parishes
and also pays the travel expenses for Guatemalans visiting St. Martin’s. It plans trips for parishioners to visit
our companion parishes in Guatemala and keeps our parish informed of its activities and the ministries of our
companion parishes. Funding comes from four sources: outreach funds, money raised by direct appeal for the San
Juan Apostol, Chichicastenango, scholarships (and occasionally for disaster relief), money from the Guatemala
Scholarship Fund (a bequest fund), and money from the crafts sale account.
During 2014 the Companion Parish Committee continued to focus on three areas:
Our partner parishes in Guatemala, for whom we have:
• provided funding of $7,200.00 to San Marcos
(Quetzaltenango) for four programs: The Intercultural
Education Program, to help university students pay for books;
operation maintenance of a virtual library, with computers with
internet service and a copier.; The program also involves lay
leadership training. A major effort has involved working to teach
the congregation to be more understanding of sexual diversity.
• provided funding to San Marcos for the health project to
train volunteer health workers and midwives in the communities
of Chumanzana and Chucalibal, introducing Ecofilters to
produce potable water for the community. provided funding of
$2,000.00 to San Marcos for the sixth year of the project of Ministry to Persons Living with HIV/Aids.
• provided funding to San Marcos for the seventh year of the project of Ministry to Persons Living with HIV/Aids; this
program provides accompaniment and training on issues of human and civil rights, health, leadership and self-esteem and
employment. The program also provides hospital and home visits and is helping to develop strong leaders.
• provided funding to San Marcos for the Women’s Prison Ministry, to provide blankets for the inmates and to cover the
costs of extermination of rats and fleas.
• presented four laptop computers to Bishop Lainfiesta
at San Juan Apostol (Chichicastenango) to continue
computer education for scholarship students.
• continued the scholarship program for parish
members to sponsor school expenses for one year for
children from the congregation of San Juan Apostol,
Chichicastenango; a total of $13,900.00 was sent in
order to support the education of 21 children in 2014; raised
contributions for school year 2015.
• provided funding in the amount of $1,600.00 to San
Martin, Obispo de Tours, (Totonicapan) for replacement of the
floor in the church building.
• provided funding in the amount of $2,100.00 to San
Martin, Obispo de Tours, for the seventh year of the partial
scholarship program to help 21 children go to school in 2015.
• provided $200.00 to Padre Heber Ruiz of San Martin,
Obispo de Tours, to help defray U.S. visa expenses for his wife,
Antonia. Heber and Antonia will be visiting St. Martin’s in 2015.
• presented our companion parishes with crayons and
markers for church school.
Guatemala Companion
Parish Commitee
Our parish, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, for whom we
have:
• planned and led a 15-day trip to Guatemala for five
parishioners, including three youths.
• participated in a presentation at a Parish Forum
about our companion relationship. The presentation
included a video by Elizabeth Alt about education in
Guatemala.
• held a sale of Guatemalan crafts to raise money for
companion parish projects and to expand awareness
of the range and skill of Guatemalan artisans.
Our diocese, for whom we have:
• liaisoned with the Companion Diocese Committee
and hosted many of its meetings.
• continued to participate in the planning of the
diocesan medical project, the Epiphany Wellness and
Water Filtration Project.
Teen UpRise is thrilled to announce that we have had our most successful year ever. Here are some quick statistics:
• 14 girls (5 high school, 9 middle schoolers).
• 1 admission to Creative and Performing Arts Academy for next year and 1 is doing extremely well now as a
sophomore.
• One senior was admitted to 10 colleges and has chosen St. Joseph’s, partly to stay connected with TU.
• One student receiving the Student of the Year Award for the 2013-2014 school year; her third time.
• 4 Students of the Month Award and 3 members achieving straight A’s for 2014-2015 school year (so far!).
• Two year-long Arcadia University (AU) interns for 2014-2015 school year and two Arcadia students have already
signed up to be full-time interns for 2015-16 year, one changed major to Counseling Psych after taking our class.
• We’ve spent over 150 hours in tutoring this academic year.
• Hired a part-time Outreach Coordinator.
• Introduced 30 new college students to TU during this academic year.
• Half dozen former AU students continued to visit TU weekly.
• 40 trips in last 18 months not including SUPPERs. We visited 5
museums regularly and 4 college visits, plus shore day-trips and sports
events (especially female athletics), martial arts, West Chester Dance
Works, Coast Guard base trip with boat trip, Walnut St. Theatre and
Yes!And Theatre, SkyZone trips, Philly Science Festival, various town
celebrations, and a dozen trips to AU.
We are pleased to announce that, at least in our opinion, we have fulfilled
all of the goals St. Martin’s set for TU when we were awarded the
Outreach grant. We have:
• Found a permanent home for TU at Leverington Presbyterian Church where for $100 a month we have the use
of the entire basement.
• Been awarded three new grants and also had our first fund-raising dinner event.
• Raised our Executive Director’s salary.
• Have a current bank balance of $37,000 with another $10,000 in donations expected.
• Total functional cost for 7/01/13 - 7/31/14 was about $14,000. Total functional cost for 2015 calendar year
expected to be $30,000.
We feel we are on our way to financial sustainability
as well as life-changing success for our TU girls. Our
afterschool and weekend programming is running
smoothly, and our TU girls are achieving more than we
ever imagined. Our next challenge will be to solidify
our fund-raising to a sustainable level, and we turn to
our new Outreach Coordinator, Vicky Vigliotti, to lead
our fund-raising and grant-writing. We had $34,000 in
individual donations for our 2013-14 fiscal year, and
expect similar donations for the 2014-15 fiscal year. We have also been blessed with several in-kind gifts, especially
from Martha Crowell from St. Martin’s.
Teen UpRise cannot begin to express our gratitude to St. Martin’s for all your financial, emotional, and spiritual
support which is a valuable asset to our girls. At our SUPPER visits, our girls have learned to better socialize with
adults and improve their table manners. They now volunteer to help clean up after SUPPER, which shows they
feel they have been given enough to start to give back. Our girls were also proud of their improved public speaking
abilities at the 2014 St. Martin’s Opportunity Fair, where they happily engaged parishioners in a lively “Can you
speak Rox-Man?” slang game. We look forward to remaining a part of the extended St. Martin’s family.

Philadelphians Organized to Witness Empower and Rebuild (POWER)’s long-term social justice vision is a
city and a state where historically marginalized people become more effectively organized and exert greater pressure
in the political and policy-making arenas.
Last May, St. Martin’s worked with POWER to help city voters pass a $12/hour minimum wage for all workers
subcontracted to any city-funded organization, including those located in buildings with major city subsidies.
Last fall, we kept it going with voter education to raise awareness of the need for a full fair funding formula
for PA’s public schools. POWER ran the largest voter engagement program in 2014 of any 501c3 organization
in the region. POWER’s contact was largely responsible for nearly doubling the voting participation rates compared
to other issues on the ballot. St. Martin’s far surpassed any other POWER congregation in the number
of calls to voters. That happened because we were able to use predictive dialing technology every week. Other
congregations couldn’t get it together to have ten callers at each session. Both candidates for governor heard the
message and campaigned on fair funding for schools. Tom Wolf is trying to follow through.
On January 19, St. Martin’s sent a large contingent to one of the largest MLK
marches that occurred in the country that day. We had a great time marching
with 7,000 other people to demand a $15 minimum wage, improved schools,
and a citizen’s police review board. News reports commented it was one of the
largest marches Philadelphia has ever seen.
The campaign this spring is trying something new. During this voter campaign
POWER congregations are paired up with State House Representatives to
raise their awareness of PA’s poor school funding record and racial bias.
POWER has too many congregations for each to be paired with its own Representative. Therefore, St. Martin’s
was assigned a powerful house member, even though he is from Delaware County. Rep. William F. Adolph, Jr. is
the Majority Chairman of the House Appropriations Committee and serves as the primary budget negotiator for
the House Republican Caucus. We are building a relationship, so far just with
legislative aides.
We would like to build relationships with you as a St. Martin’s
parishioner, to grow our effectiveness as change agents for the kingdom
of God. Please watch for POWER activities in Field Notes. Speak with Susan
MacBride or Carol Duncan to find out more about our work. All who are
interested in public education and/or living wages and the dignity of workers
will enjoy the dynamics of POWER.
We hosted 22 SUPPERs in 2014
• Total guests: 2,411
• Total free-will offering/donations: $ 4,123
• Total expenses: $8,550
• 48% of expenses last year were covered by the
free-will offering.
• Serving 2,411 guests, each meal cost $3.54 and
the average offering per guest was $1.71.
In 2015, to date, we have hosted nine (9) SUPPERS
from January14 – May 13
• Total guests: 1,408
• Total free-will: $2,232.45
SUPPER at St. Martin’s
Community Meals for All
One little boy (4-5 years old) always drives
by St. Martin’s with his grandmother on
the way to school. They do not attend St.
Martin’s but have begun to attend SUPPER
at St. Martin’s consistently.
Upon seeing the banner on the corner of
Willow Grove Avenue and St. Martin’s
Lane, the little boy excitedly shouted to
his grandmother, “Oh, look, the Church
Restaurant is open tonight. We have to
be there!!”
As the members of the St. Martin’s Treble Choir enter the Parish House and pass the kitchen window,
every young member of the choir always comments on the smells coming out of the kitchen, and
excitedly asks, “What’s for SUPPER tonight?” Not a bad legacy for our young children to fondly
remember their days of church choir, SUPPER and the St. Martin’s Community.
Historically, here are the numbers of SUPPER guests
served since we opened our doors in February 2012:
February – December 2012 1,385
January – December 2013 (22 SUPPERS) 2,181
January – December 2014 (22 SUPPERS) 2,411
January – May 13, 2015 (9 SUPPERs) 1,408
If we continue this volume,
we could potentially top 3,000
SUPPER guests by the end of 2015!

trip expressed that this was a highlight in
their lives - singing a living faith in an ancient
space. New friendships were forged, and old
ones were strengthened. We also learned that
St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London, is about as
wacky as our St. Martin’s!
Hear the music, hear the impact...
It’s music to my ears..

60 kids atteneded Choir Camp - a 50% increase!
The Treble participated in a choral festival
in April, with seven other children’s choirs!
It culminated in an Evensong, sung by some
80+ choristers, plus another 40 adults!
Choir camp keeps getting bigger! This year
we brought Rae Ann Anderson, director of
the Settlement Children’s Choir, on board,
and 60 kids had a fantastic time, singing a
daily Evensong. Many of the kids had never
sung in a choir before. Most importantly, the
camp brought kids together from different
backgrounds and schools, and gave them a
great place to make new friends and share a
common goal - great music making!
“We plan our summers around Choir
Camp at [my son’s]insistence, so there’s no
chance that he will miss it.”

“It’s a really big deal that you showed up every week and sat across from me with the sole purpose of
listening to my struggles and bringing every bit of who you are to bear on my situation. You felt pain
with me, experienced my life with me, sat with me, and listened with all the depth a person can muster for the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. A Stephen Minister brings his or her whole self, as a love-gift from God, with
the belief that the world should be that way when one person needs help and another is free to give it. And that
is about as profound as it gets.” – A former Stephen Ministry Care Receiver
Stephen Ministry is a one-to-one caregiving ministry in which a Stephen Minister
who has had 50 hours of training meets weekly with the care receiver, providing a safe
space for disclosing pain and other feelings, listening deeply, and sharing the journey.
Since St. Martin’s joined this international ministry in 2005, our program has grown
from six trained Stephen Ministers to 18 this year. In addition to meeting with their care
receivers, Stephen Ministers attend regular supervisory sessions as well as continuing
education sessions, covering topics such as substance abuse, aging, and grief support.
Stephen Ministry by the numbers:
130 – the average number of hours a year a Stephen Minister puts into the
ministry, including meeting with a care giver regularly and attending supervisory
support sessions twice a month.
21 – the number of care receivers who have been in Stephen Ministry at some
point this year. Care receivers may be parishioners or come from the community.
11 – the number of Stephen Ministers currently seeing care receivers
5 – the number of new Stephen Ministers who are completing their 50-hour
training program
2 – the Stephen Ministry co-leaders, Karen West and Cary Nicholas. Karen
taught the training session for new Stephen Ministers this year. Cary oversees
Stephen Ministry placement. Their work averages over 200 hours a year.
Holding Stories with Care
Stephen Ministry
Wellspring, St. Martin’s ministry for spiritual growth and care, presented 22 programs from June 2014 to June
2015. Participants explored women of scripture, used the Enneagram to learn more about their personalities,
walked the Labyrinth, sang and prayed in the style of Taize, developed wholehearted parenting skills and much
more. New programs specifically targeted to the community included a program to explore the spirituality of the
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, a showing of the documentary Alive Inside on music and Alzheimer’s Disease, and
an evening Earth Day retreat. Wellspring also offered a day of wellness for area teachers, featuring workshops on
spirituality and self-care.
Evaluations indicated that the programs drew a nice mix of parishioners and community members, who gave high
marks for program quality. Some highlights:
• Parishioners made up 68.5% of attendees
• Of those who were not parishioners, most came from the local neighborhoods such as Chestnut Hill/Mt. Airy,
and some came from other areas of Philadelphia and the surrounding suburbs.
• Regarding program quality, 65.9% ranked the programs as outstanding and 30.1% as very good.
• We had a nice mix of returning and new participants, with 42.7% indicating they had attended other Wellspring
events.
• Almost half of those who completed evaluations were over the age of 60 (47.6%) and 72.5% were female.
Wellspring entered its third year with some transition in leadership and committee structure. Patricia Cornelius took
on the role of chair, after Barbara Dundon stepped down to pursue other ministries. In addition to Patricia, the
current committee includes Adenike Webb, Scott Robinson, Lucy Hines and James Simpson. The committee met
during each Liturgical season to ensure that the logistics for upcoming events were covered and to plan for the next
Liturgical season.
Women Connecting is a gathering of parish and community women who meet once each liturgical season to
pray, reflect, share stories and reflect deeply upon their lives. It is offered through St Martin’s Wellspring ministry.
This year, Joanne Conway and Barbara Russell served as the group’s co-facilitators, inviting volunteers to help plan
each program. The following titles describe the focus of each of the 2014-2015 gatherings:
Ordinary Time: The Extraordinary in the Ordinary
Advent: To Be Available: To God, Ourselves and Others
Epiphany: Texture of Darkness, Brocade of Light
Lent: Searching for Truth in the Wilderness
Easter: Experiencing Resurrection: the Awesome Wonder of the Spirit
The mission of Wellspring is to provide a welcoming place for all people seeking to deepen their spiritual
journeys. In an atmosphere of acceptance, Wellspring offers a sacred space for individuals and small groups
to nurture their spiritual awareness through practices in the Christian tradition such as spiritual direction,
contemplative prayer, and pastoral care, as well as workshops and retreats.
Stories of Spiritual Growth
Wellspring
An average of 30 women have attended each gathering. Most have been members of St. Martin’s parish, with an
average of 5 to 8 women from the outside community attending. These community women have tended to return
and bring others with them. Members of the parish have brought guests as well.
Our plans for the coming year begin with a June gathering that
will be followed by a picnic lunch. At this gathering we will be
asking women to complete an evaluation form that will help
us learn how well we are meeting their needs and our goals.
We will have a Visioning Meeting at the end of June where we
will invite others to come and share in the creative visioning
of our coming year’s programs. Finally, we plan to add child-
care for each gathering in the coming year so as to attract
younger women to our programs.

Education for Ministry (EfM)
Education for Ministry (EfM) is a four-year program designed to teach adults about Christian theology and
history. The recently-revised program, created and administered by the Episcopal seminary at the University of
the South in Sewanee, Tennessee, is led locally by trained mentors. Students take part in experiential learning in a
small-group setting.
In the year that began in September 2014, the EfM Group at St. Martin’s included three students in Year One,
studying the Hebrew Scriptures, and three students in Year Two, studying the New Testament. Four students,
three of them St. Martin’s parishioners, completed the year.
These EfM students report that the weekly EfM sessions help them to appreciate and understand the readings on
Sundays. In addition, they are grateful for the opportunity to express doubts and ask questions in a safe, congenial
setting.
Twenty-eight current St. Martin’s parishioners have completed one or more years of EfM study. For
information regarding EfM opportunities next year, please see the rector.
- Melissa Buckingham, Retiring EfM Mentor
Melissa Buckingham has served as mentor for this program, leading the group each year. She is retiring after 18
years in this special ministry.
Stories that We’re Taught...
Biblical Studies
Parishioners and Guests Read and Discuss the Texts of
Holy Scripture meeting weekly in small groups. Since
the late 1970’s, St. Martin’s has had a strong history of
community biblical studies, which includes reading in small
groups.
Over the years, three groups have continued to meet weekly
from September through May to read and discuss the texts
of scriptures. The groups first study the Synoptic Gospels,
followed by the Gospel of John, then move on to other
books as the group decides.
New participants are warmly welcomed throughout the year,
and join in at the current readings, and continue on.
It works.
The leadership team consists of David Contosta, Carol
Duncan, Cathy Glazer, Helen White (founder), and Greg
Williams.
TUESDAYS FROM 10:30 TO 12:00 NOON
The Seven Authentic Letters of Paul, The Letter of James, The First
and Second Letters of Peter and the Three Letters of John.
With the retirement last year of Helen White who has offered leadership
from the beginning, this ongoing group has been experimenting with rotating
leaders. Twelve faithful seekers meet weekly and another six followed the
weekly email summaries.
THURSDAYS FROM 7:30 TO 8:45 AM
Genesis, Exodus and The Book of Daniel
After several years of reading books of the New Testament,
twelve regular participants decided to start at the very beginning
of the Bible with Genesis, then moved on to Exodus, one of the
prophets, and the Book of Daniel. Three new members joined the
group this year.
“Like so many others,
my life is busy. As a member
of Christ Church, Pottstown, I am
blessed to belong to several book and
Bible studies. I mentor the EfM group at
Graterford Prison, so biblical study is important
to me. Being part of the Bible study group here
at St. Martin’s with Helen White and an incredible
group of men and women, enriches my life in
profound ways I am so thankful to be part of
that very welcoming group.”
- Ginny Slichter,
Biblical Studies participant
THURSDAYS FROM 10:30 TO 12:00 NOON
The Synoptic Gospels: Matthew, Mark and Luke
This group has continued its parallel study of the Synoptic Gospels,
which tell the full life and teachings of Jesus, from his baptism through
his journey to the Temple in Jerusalem. Helen White has led the group
of 15 regular participants using time-honored questions that open up the
liveliness and meaning of the story.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
AT CHRIST CHURCH AND ST. MICHAELS
Last summer, Helen White and Ginger Goodrich were invited to introduce
reading the Synoptic Gospels at our sister parish, Christ Church and
St. Michaels, in Germantown. They continue the sessions on Sunday
mornings with members of the parish taking turns as group leaders.

This year St. Martin’s offered 27 Forum sessions from September to June, drawing from 40 to 60 adults each
Sunday to the 10 a.m. formation hour in the Parish Hall. Topics ranged from parish history to prayer and scripture
to social justice issues to parish outreaches and partnerships. This year, there was a special focus on building skills
necessary to becoming an even more inclusive and welcoming community, such as promoting anti-racism, practicing
active listening and embracing vulnerability.
The Forum Committee, headed by Barbara Thomson, included Leni Windle, Charlie Day and David Harrower.
This year, the committee distributed evaluations at every forum to capture how well the topic corresponded to the
presentation, as well as the quality of the speaker preparedness, meaningfulness and room comfort. These were
evaluated on a 5-point scale from 1 (needs work) to 5 (outstanding) Here’s what they found out:
• The average score for all the forum presentations was 4.6.
• The presenters received high marks for preparation for an average of 4.7.
• Meaningfulness received an average score of 4.6.
• The comfort of the room averaged a 3.8.
The evaluations also provided a look at who is attending Forum. For
example seventy-five percent of attendees are age 40 and above, with the
highest percentage (59 percent) being over 60. Fourteen percent indicate
they have school-aged children.
Finally, the evaluations asked participants what they learned from the day’s
session. Here’s a sample of what people said they were still thinking about
after various sessions:
• How to perceive and deal with guilt and how to turn it into something positive
• Mutuality in giving
• The impact (criminal) records have in the lives of those who long to change
• The strength of faith in especially poverty-stricken neighborhoods
• Our propensity for denial and how climate change connects to spirituality and our stewardship obligations
• How energetic our youth are and how blessed we are … to have teens who are eager to make the Body of
Christ real through their relationship with Guatemala.
• I need to stay in a trusting and vulnerable place
• It was refreshing to learn about someone else as I also
learned about myself through the sharing
• I want to keep thinking about poverty and education
• How important our history relates to who we are
today. The importance of contributions of time, talent
and financial resources.
