Message from the Very Rev. Pamela from November 6, 2026:
Dear Ones,
I am looking forward to our combined service on Sunday at 10am, a time to celebrate our patron saint, Martin of Tours and to bless the ingathering of pledges. And of course I can’t wait to try out the goodies that we’ll be tasting at the Great St. Martin’s Bake Off!
As you probably already know, November is Native American Heritage month, and the Episcopal Church encourages us all to learn more about the history and culture of local indigenous peoples. There are relevant exhibits at the Sacramento History Museum, the California Museum, at UC Davis’s own Gorman Museum of Native American Art, and at the Davis Arts Center. Tomorrow, Saturday, November 7, at 4pm, Diana Almendariz will lead a Tule Arts and Storytelling workshop at the Davis Arts Center, part of their “Good Fire, Living Water: The Gifts of a Marsh Economy” exhibit. Many of you will remember Diana from the workshops she has given here and at the Cache Creek Conservancy.
On a related note, on Thursday, November 12 at 1pm, I’ll be leading the diocese’s monthly Commission on the Environment meeting on Zoom. The topic will be the importance of indigenous perspectives on creation care, something that was central to the Province VIII conference I recently attended. It would be great to have some St. Martin’s folks join the conversation!
Blessings and thanks,
Pamela+
