Sunday Service
We extend a warm welcome to those who are single, married, divorced, widowed and LGBTQIA.
We extend a warm welcome to babies, toddlers and pets. Saint Martin's is the only dog-friendly church in Mason County, and congregants and visitors are invited to bring their canine companions to services.
​
We welcome you whether you sing loudly or hum to yourself. We don't care if the last time you attended church was Christmas Eve twenty years ago. You are welcome here.
The homily is typically followed by a time for comments, questions and group discussion. Music is joyful and beautiful.
Special Worship Opportunities
Besides gathering together on Sundays at 11 AM, St. Martin's also celebrates many feast days throughout the liturgical year. Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter are observed in the Spring. We have a tradition of celebrating Lessons and Carols at Christmas, singing many beloved carols of the season. Each year we have a special Summer worship service along the Llano River and many enjoy the worship, fellowship, food and the river.
Interested in joining one of our worship services? Get in touch to find out more.
Joyful Fellowship
We Love to Share Hospitality
The people of Saint Martin's love to worship together and to have fellowship with one another and the wider community. We invite everyone to join us for worship every Sunday at Saint Martin's and then to gather with us for our Sunday potluck lunch at Sandstone Cellars Wine Bar. You will find dishes ranging from BBQ to salads to lactose-free macaroni and cheese. And glorious desserts.
Come join us for fellowship.
