Where’s My Class?

 

 St. Matthew’s 101
NEW for month of NOVEMEBER
Meets in the Undercroft (downstairs from the parish hall)
November 2, 9, 16 & 23
This four-session class is especially for those new to St. Matt’s or to the Episcopal Church. Join us for fellowship, fun and facts!

Jesus of Nazareth 101
Meets in the Undercroft
Come to our class on the basic principles of Jesus. We hear and read about Jesus throughout our church services and daily lives. However, do we truly understand the details of his life and how the Gospel writers presented his story and transformative faith? We will spend the first half of fall exploring topics such as the virgin birth, the essence of the Good News, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. The second half will focus on some of the key issues Jesus raised (economics, politics, religion) that remain relevant today. If you know nothing or little about Jesus, want to learn more about the Gospels and who Jesus is, or need a refresher about the Son of God, everyone is welcome to join us for this class.

Stock the Shelves at the SE Co-op!

A group of 15 St. Matthew’s Volunteers participated in the Outreach opportunity to Stock the Shelves at the SE Co-Op in Grayson. We brought the food our parishioners have contributed where it is weighed and recorded. We then sort the items into bins, bag bulk items, sort items others bring to donate, and more. Best of all, we all have a fun time with smiles and laughter as we help our  community and share God’s Love!

Summer “Jam Session”

The ECW, Episcopal Church Women, had a great Strawberry “Jam” Session! We learned a lot about the art of canning and enjoyed great fellowship! There will be a sample at breakfast this Sunday.
Heavenly Father, bless this jam and bless those who partake. May it nourish them and remind them of Your Goodness. Lord, thank You for these strawberries, a bounty from Your earth. May this jam bring sweetness and joy to those who eat it.
