Message from the Very Rev. Pamela from August 28, 2026:
Dear Ones,
The Backpack Blessings last Sunday were so fun, and our second ever Pizza Church service welcomed 27 people! I feel incredibly blessed to be part of a church where new things are encouraged and appreciated. I hope you’ve had a chance to look at our most recent issue of Reflections magazine, sent out last week, to get a feel for how much we have experimented and stretched our wings over the last few months.
In today’s email, you’ll find several opportunities to get more involved in St. Martin’s and the larger community, including our online formation class that starts next week. I wanted to let you know about one more formation opportunity coming up later this fall, something I’ve been hoping to pull together for a few months now.
Reflecting Images: Christianity and AI in Conversation, will be a dialogue series led by our own Mae Forrest Barnes, PhD. Mae has a background in theology and ethics, with a special focus in accessibility, science, and theological ethics. We’re meeting on Tuesday evenings at 7pm, at St. Martin’s, from September 29 through October 27. There will be more information coming soon, and we really hope to include people from around Davis, so please mark your calendars now and consider inviting friends.
I’ll be away for a few days visiting family in Los Angeles, but am looking forward to learning and growing with all of you in the coming weeks and months.
Blessings,
Pamela+
