Feeding Bodies & Spirits

One Food Bag at a Time

At The Episcopal Church of St. Mary Magdalene & St. Martin (Sts. MM&M), we believe that love looks like something—and this summer, it looks a lot like rice, beans, canned veggies, and a whole lot of joy!


Our Outreach Ministry just kicked off another season of support for the Coral Springs Police Summer Camp, a six-week program for at-risk youth that gives kids a safe, enriching, and fun place to be during the summer months. For the past several years, Sts. MM&M has proudly partnered with the camp to provide daily snacks and weekly take-home food bags for every camper.


Why the take-home bags? Because we know that weekends can be tough for families, and our mission is to make sure that no child leaves camp worried about where their next meal will come from. Each week features a themed menu, and our first round of bags included staples like rice, beans, canned chicken, vegetables, and even breakfast and lunch items to keep tummies full and hearts happy.


It’s more than food—it’s a message: You matter. You’re loved. We’re here for you.


At Sts. MM&M, we love partnering with our city and serving side-by-side with others to build a stronger, more compassionate Coral Springs. If you’re looking for a church that lives its faith, packs a mean food bag, and throws in a smile or two while doing it—we hope you’ll come visit us!


Because at Sts. MM&M, faith gets to work.

We have spent a long time domesticating the Holy Spirit reducing it to a warm feeling. But the Spirit in John 20 is something else, something that doesn'twait.

They were still looking up. We are living in the between — after the Ascension, before Pentecost. Come back to the room. The Spirit is on the way.

Read the second chapter of Acts carefully and you will notice something the Sunday school version tends to smooth over: the disciples were not ready.

Jesus says he won't leave us orphaned. But some weeks, that promise is held by faith alone. A reflection for the Sixth Sunday of Easter.

The building faces the street for a reason. A church that exists only for the people inside it has forgotten what it is for.

Stephen is about to die. He knows it. The stones are already in people's hands. And he looks up, and someone is standing. That is a claim about the nature of God
