As Episcopalians we celebrate our faith through worship, mission, fellowship, and sharing. Sharing our wealth, both spiritual and material, has long been a cornerstone of our heritage. As members of St. Martin in the Fields, blessed as we have been in countless ways, we not only give God thanks for our material blessings, but we also acknowledge our responsibility to use those gifts wisely and to his glory. Many Episcopalians choose to share their accumulated resources through a planned giving program. In this way, each of us can help ensure that the life of our parish, that has so richly enhanced our own lives, will be there to fulfill that role for others, for years to come.
In 1971 The Reverend Martin Dewey Gable personally began what has now become the Endowment Fund of St. Martin in the Fields. Since that time, the fund has grown considerably. Now the proceeds of the endowment fund can be applied to achieve its enduring goal: "To enable the parish to fulfill more completely its mission through the development and enhancement of the parish, its facilities and ministries, beyond what is possible through annual operating funds."
