The ECW (Episcopal Church Women), had a wonderful luncheon followed by a presentation from Joan Kengla about the Altar Guild. We learned about the names of items on the altar and how the altar is set each week. There is an open invitation to anyone interested in being trained to join an altar guild team. Each team sets the altar approx 1 time a month. If you are interested, contact Joan Kengla or any altar team member.
Youth Sunday at St. Matthew’s was a joyful celebration of our young people’s talents and faith! The service was filled with energy and inspiration, featuring a vibrant youth choir and guitar band, talented youth violinists, and a beautiful saxophone solo during communion. Shona delivered a heartfelt sermon that spoke powerfully to all generations. We are so grateful for the spirit and leadership our youth bring to our community!
St. Matthew’s celebrated a joyful and deeply meaningful Holy Week this year, inviting parishioners of all ages into the heart of the Christian story—from triumphant procession to the quiet power of resurrection hope.
From the celebratory palms to the hushed prayers at each station, and from the foot-washing’s demonstration of love to the exuberant Easter service (and egg hunt!), Holy Week was both a profound journey and a jubilant celebration. It wove together remembrance and renewal, drawing parishioners into the story of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection—and sending them forth to live that story in their neighborhoods all year long.
It’s Spring, and summer is coming. Our beautiful gardens are coming back to life, and to keep them beautiful and thriving through the year it takes WATER. Our St. Matt’s Garden Guild needs Garden Angels to help with that task over the next few months to care for them. Can you spare 30 min or so on a regular basis to help? There will be a signup sheet on the Building and Grounds bulletin board in the main hallway. Pick an area you can help care for and do the watering on your schedule. Contact Janis Williams for more information. It takes a village, and as we know, It’s the People!
