SEPTEMBER 2020 - EDGE MINISTRY UPDATES
Dear Edge Families,
We keep you and your families in prayer as you have transitioned into this new and unusual school year.
As of now, we still have instructions to not hold any youth ministry gatherings in person, so our Edge event calendar for the year is still to be determined.
We will continue to update you with any further decisions made.
Below is some information about some parish initiatives including the Knights of Columbus Essay Contest for 8th graders and high schoolers, a St. Martha Parish Survey, and 40 Days for Life.
We stay united in prayer for your and your families during this time.
God Bless,
Lisa Hartsfield

From Sept. 23 through Nov. 1, you’re invited to join other Christians to pray during 40 Days for Life – 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion. You’re also invited to stand vigil and peacefully pray in the public right-of-way outside the Planned Parenthood abortion facility at 4600 Gulf Freeway. St. Martha parishioners will be praying at Planned Parenthood on Friday, Oct. 2.
Join us, and help spread the word about this important community outreach. When people are present in prayer at the abortion site, through the grace of God, hearts are changed and lives are saved. All are welcome!
