A huge thank-you to everyone involved in the Cabaret, Cabernet, & Clavier talent show! The event raised over $1000 towards the Capital Campaign projects, and ideas are already spinning for next year’s show!
This event featured 10 musical and spoken word acts from several of our talented youth, parishioners, and community members. Richard Morris wore several hats as event coordinator and organizer, emcee, and literally wore two outfits! So many volunteers were involved in the setup, decorations, lights, sound, ticket sales, concessions sales, and bartending that helped make the entire evening memorable for all involved, especially the audience members.

Lent Begins Wednesday February 18
Tuesdays at 6:00 p.m.

The Chosen, Season 5
Continue the story of Jesus’ ministry through the eyes of his disciples and others around him. Bring a dish to share and watch in fellowship with others and join in the discussion afterwards.

No “Bah Humbugs” here! Thanks to an extraordinary team of 32 volunteers—including a talented cast of 15 bringing the characters to life, a visionary director and musical director, and a dedicated crew of 15 handling tech and front-of-house duties—our holiday production of Scrooge! was a success! With generous donations of time, costumes, talent, and wonderful camaraderie, these volunteers shared Charles Dickens’ timeless tale of redemption through repentance and forgiveness, celebrating the true joy of giving through charity and goodwill. The show delighted approximately 260 patrons across the holiday season. We’re filled with gratitude for everyone involved and excited for the new year ahead with fresh shows on the horizon!
Wrapping oneself in a prayer shawl is a way of focusing one’s eyes and heart on God to feel his presence and loving embrace. Prayer scarves and squares are also a way of keeping focus on God as a reminder of God’s presence. This rewarding ministry brings joy, comfort, hope and God’s love to the church, the larger community and the world. The Knit, Crochet & Pray group meets on Thursdays at 10:00 a.m. in the library, located off of the parish hall. All are welcome!
** We maintain a pattern book, also in the library! **
See below resources, all are suggestions and starting points — you are completely free to follow your own patterns!
Coming soon: Common lap robe pattern (36″ x 45″ is suggested)
Coming soon: Common baby blanket pattern
The Episcopal Church Women gathered yesterday for fellowship and learning as Sylvia and Vicki led us in “The Making and Breaking of the Bread.” The program began with the lighting of a candle—kept burning until the bread came out of the oven—and continued with Sylvia’s thoughtful reflections on how each ingredient and step in the process symbolizes the life of Jesus.
Of course, everyone enjoyed tasting the freshly baked (not consecrated!) bread, warm from the oven. By the end of the gathering, three women felt inspired to join the Bread Guild—thanks be to God!
This special ministry is open to everyone—women and men of all ages. If you’d like to take part in the holy work of baking our Communion bread, please reach out to Sylvia Campbell.

What a beautiful day it was for All Saints’ Day at St. Matthew’s! The sun was shining, the air was crisp, and our beloved church and grounds looked their very best. We started the morning with a full hot breakfast—good food, great company, and plenty of laughter. Our new class, St. Matt’s 101, had its first session and was a wonderful way to welcome those just getting to know our parish family and the Episcopal faith.
During both services, we paused to remember and give thanks for the saints who have gone before us, reading aloud the names of those we’ve lost this past year. In a moving part of the service, parishioners brought in small wooden crosses—decorated at home in memory of loved ones—which were placed in front of the altar as a sign of love and remembrance. The children’s choir added their beautiful voices to the day, filling the church with music and joy.
We closed our celebration with the annual In-Gathering, as congregation members placed their 2026 pledge cards in the basket—an act of gratitude, community, and hope for the year ahead.
