St. Martin’s Honor’s our health care heroes! Member of our Lunch Bunch made their second delivery of meals to area hospital staff yesterday. With the support of our friends at Walnut Grill, meals were delivered to MIssouri Baptist Medical Center, expressing our gratitude to those on the front line of the health care emergency. Grateful for those who put their health at risk every day— and to all who have donated or will donate for this important initiative. @missouriepiscopal #diocesemo #episcopal #covid19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B_kW_wIhD6p/?igshid=e555c6al9gzq

When your parish administrator wants to keep the priest healthy, she takes keeping healthy boundaries to pro level. #socialdistancing #churchlife #episcopal #diocesemo (at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Ellisville, Mo.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B93Oh5EhVa1/?igshid=1r7giuc58dsab

Do you know what these are? These are treasures that a sweet toddler lovingly gave to me from her pockets today after worship. And I love them. #kidschurch #episcopalchurch #priestlife #episcopal #diocesemo #acorns https://www.instagram.com/p/B9N8njUB_QR/?igshid=dq92s8606np4

“... Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God. Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise.”— Psalm 84:3-4 #episcopal #worship #churchesofinstagram #diocesemo #childreninchurch https://www.instagram.com/p/B9N5JAvh7dV/?igshid=zalm49yg2tds

Had another glorious Ash Wednesday with a great noon service at the senior living center next door to church, Ashes to Go all day with 42 worshippers even with the snow, and a lovely choral Eucharist at 7 pm in the nave. What a blessed way to start Lent. “Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return. Remember that you are loved, and to love shall you return.” #ashestogo #ashwednesday #lent2020 #episcopal #diocesemo https://www.instagram.com/p/B9IFQIohJCB/?igshid=12po1c62ced1b

As we get ready for the Great Thanksgiving, our pulpit posse is ready. They know it’s their church too, and their sense of wonder and worship shines brightly. #kidsinchurch #episcopal #worship #joy #diocesemo https://www.instagram.com/p/B7hPQcQBoGj/?igshid=e0eplm2mlp1i

Sharing the Christmas spirit with the triplets, Polar, Sparkle, and our Soothing Space rabbit, who obviously needs a name. @missouriepiscopal #episcopal #diocesemo #christmassweater (at St. Martin's Episcopal Church, Ellisville, Mo.) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6qzGq9hkFY/?igshid=13t1ebevc5hxr
