FROM THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES: Listed below are FOUR ways you can help with upkeep of St. Martin's (indoors or outdoors). The first one is a one-time clean up and the second way is helping on a regular/seasonal basis. The third way you can help at St. Martin is by joining the Board of Trustees, and finally, consider joining our Clean Team! Read more below about each unique opportunity for YOU to serve the Lord here at St. Martin!

(ONE-TIME NEED) APRIL 12th SPRING CLEAN-UP: HELPERS NEEDED: We have survived yet another Michigan Winter together, so let's celebrate by improving our grounds as a team before Summer arrives! Those who love the outdoors and who enjoy beautifying God's creation, should bring your favorite outdoor gardening gloves and come enjoy working outdoors with us. Meet at 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 12 at St. Martin to be a part of our 2025 Spring Clean-Up Team! (Rain Date: Saturday, April 26th)

(AS-NEEDED) TRUSTEE HELPERS NEEDED: God has truly blessed us with quite the yard here at St. Martin! Due to a number of changes, our groundskeeping crew will need more hands than we have had in the past. We need individuals who can either lead or assist with some of these areas: Trimming Bushes: Two times during gardening season (1st Time: Mid-Spring with the "burning" bushes, 2nd Time: Early summer with the other bushes). Maintaining Mower: Individuals with a knack for caring for machinery can help keep ours running in top fashion. (You do not need to be a member of the Board of Trustees to help with some of these projects.)

(MONTHLY) TRUSTEES NEEDED: If caring for God's physical blessings here (inside or outside) is something you have interest in, experience with, or both, then God may be calling you to serve on the Board of Trustees here at St. Martin. Trustees meet on the 4th Monday of each month to determine indoor and outdoor needs and schedule/complete maintenance, repairs and general upkeep. We work together to accomplish goals for the beautification and preservation of St. Martin Lutheran Church facilities and grounds. Lend a hand to the team and witness many satisfying improvements and transformations that you can be proud to have been a part of!

(WEEKLY) CLEAN TEAM: A small, but mighty group, our newly formed Clean Team has been keeping our building in tip-top shape with regular cleaning on Mondays. For the past few years, they have worked tirelessly (behind-the-scenes), to vacuum, dust, scrub floors, clean bathrooms and more in order to beautify God's House. Thank you, Sharon, Mike, and Diane! Can you help us double or triple their team size by stopping by to vacuum or clean with them on Monday afternoons? See Diane Leach if you are interested in joining St. Martin's Clean Team (IF Mondays don't fit your schedule, please check for other dates/times you can clean when the building is open.)
