The ECW September Luncheon will be held on Wednesday, September 2, from 11:00 AM-1:00 PM in Bagby Parish Hall.

The Episcopal Church Women of St. Martin's present potter Rachel Raborn-Norris. While spinning clay on the potter's wheel, Rachel will give her personal testimony entwining meaning and symbolism of clay in the hands of the Master.

Rachel Raborn-Norris is not surprised that she is a potter, but she is amazed at how God has used pottery in her life. She has been making pottery for over twenty years now. She and her husband own Joy Pottery in Bryan, Texas where they make and sell handmade, functional stoneware. She loves to work with clay because it is an incredibly versatile material, so very individual and universal at the same time.

We invite you to discover the rich layers of meaning of God's word related to the potter and the clay by observing the work of a potter firsthand. You will be awed and amazed by the insights into the hand of God in your own life through this experience.

Event Chair: Nancy Troxel

United Thank Offering (UTO) is an opportunity to translate thankfulness into generosity. UTO grants support outreach programs of dioceses in Houston, nationally and globally. In Houston, UTO grants have assisted organizations such as Lord of the Streets Church, a facility that services the homeless. Give daily thanks through prayer and an offering in the blue UTO envelope, found in the October 18 issue of The Star, or in the Narthex on November 15. Please consider this as a special chance for each of us to say thank you for all the gifts poured into our lives, enabling us to reach out to many others in His love.
