Derby Day 2024

What do you get when you combine horses, good food, games, and St.Matthew’s parishioners? A Kentucky Derby party that what! While we had a smaller gathering for this year’s Derby party, it didn’t stop those from attending from having a great time. The Roca family won three gift cards for their style. We had quite a few winners who selected the right horse to win the race.

Spring Parish Workday – Stewardship in Action

Saturday, April 13 was a busy day at St. Matthew’s! About thirty parishioners of all ages pitched in to work on sprucing up the campus grounds and gardens and doing various needed indoor jobs. Lunch was served by our wonderful Brotherhood of St. Andrew.  Altogether, the members accomplished the following:

  • Spread mulch to freshen up the outside of the campus
  • Swept the shed roof and cleared out the area outside the shed including removing railroad ties, stacking bricks/pavers for reuse, removing brush and debris
  • Deep cleaned the ice maker and kitchen. Organized and de-cluttered pantry
  • Cleaned out the old narthex
  • Cleaned and organized storage and classrooms in the undercroft
  • Recycled old computers and other electronics
  • Replaced MANY burnt out light bulbs including parish hall, library, and other spaces

Thank you to all who contributed to this busy day!

Confirmation Sunday

Seven youths and 10 adults from St. Matthew’s were part of the Confirmation Sunday service held at St. Philip’s Cathedral on March 17.

Bishop Rob Wright said during his sermon, “There is something about being with us, and now, you are us, and I had the high privilege of formalizing that. What a gift.”

Bishop Wright noted that service in the Prayer Book concluded for those being confirmed or reaffirmed with “Amen.” Wright said he wanted to add more to the amen.

“If they wanted a friendly amendment – the ones who wrote the Prayer Book – I would say it shouldn’t stop at amen. It should stop at welcome home,” Wright said. “For you who are being received, I say welcome home. Welcome home because, in this sin-weary world, it sure is nice to find a home.”

Confirmation is a modern adaptation of an ancient church tradition by which those deemed adults were prepared to enter the Christian faith and life.

Today, the Sacrament of Confirmation has a two-fold purpose. For those baptized as infants or children, it provides an opportunity to affirm their baptismal vows as adults. For adults, Confirmation is the sacrament through which persons reaffirm their baptismal vows and, by sacrament, deepen their commitment to the Episcopal Church.
