April 28, 2025

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.

Holy Week 2025 Photos

April 24, 2025

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.

Garden Angel Ministry

April 3, 2025

Help our garden grow!

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!

Latest Updates from the Capital Campaign

February 7, 2025

 

Update March 2: Breakfast between services is a Saint Matthew’s tradition! Our capital campaign committee members will be sponsoring breakfast on Sunday, March 16th with all breakfast donations going directly to the capital campaign fund. With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, we hope to see you all there, and bring a friend to come enjoy breakfast shenanigans. We will have capital committee team members available to answer any questions about our ongoing Capital Campaign. As of this posting, we have collected $267K in pledges.

Breakfast is served buffet style and starts at 9:00AM with food served until around 10:00AM. Join us in the parish hall, we hope to see you there!

Update February 14: Just a reminder from the Capital Campaign Committee that if you haven’t already done so, please consider making a pledge or a cash contribution to the Capital Campaign. To date, we have raised over $240,000 in pledges and cash donations. As we discussed at the Annual Meeting, this is a parish wide endeavor and we desperately need your support to Renew, Refresh and Restore our church home and bring it back to its functional, safe and beautiful state that we all love. You can donate by filling out a pledge card with a cash donation or a pledge that can be done over one, two, or three years. Any donation that you feel comfortable with is greatly needed. Contact any member of the committee, Jack Denton or Scott Fisher to make your pledge.

Update February 7: Work has already begun on one of the most critical projects: restoration of the framing around the stained-glass windows.
