Walkers raise money to build wells in the Sudan
Bright blue skies and a chilly breeze greeted dozens of church and community members for St. Martin’s third annual Walk for Water Saturday, May 8.
The group left the church at 8:30 a.m., eager to do their part to raise money to build wells in our companion Diocese of Lui, Sudan. Walkers, runners, bicyclists and scooters chose a 1-mile, 3-mile or 5-mile course surrounding the church grounds. It was a glorious day — as you can see from the attached pictures.
So far, we have raised approximately $6,500 that will go directly to Lui. You can still help that number grow by making a donation through this website or dropping off a check at church.
Thanks to Beth Buehler and the MDG committee for organizing such a great event. And thanks to everyone who continues to participate in this fun and important cause!

St. Martin’s is nearing final approval to break ground in the back yard for a community garden in a joint relationship with Bridgette Kossor of “Garden from the Ground Up.”
The garden will be divided into plots and one plot will be for St. Martin’s to raise food for Circle of Concern.
YOU may have a plot for you and your family to raise veggies, too. To reserve your plot, become a member of the garden by signing up online at Garden from the Ground Up. (There is an annual membership fee.) Membership is limited so sign up early for your own plot!! Be sure to state you are a St. Martin’s member on the application.
Any person interested in caring for the St. Martin’s plot to grow food for Circle of Concern, please contact Beth Buehler at babuehler@aol.com. All questions or comments welcome!!
