St. Matthew’s Good News – 8/23/2024

    In considering daily discipleship to Christ, and in addition to the Book of Common Prayer, there are also other wonderful aids available to help us meditate, pray, and reflect on scripture. One is just below under the heading: The Good News Daily. This daily devotional was being made available when I came, and I have continued to offer it in our newsletter every week. I know a few of our people use this resource in their daily prayer time.

    For many of us who have been engaging in daily prayer for many years, it keeps things fresh during the week when we can occasionally use different resources. In the link below, I am suggesting a few resources that you might find helpful or stimulating to jump-start your prayer life. While pictures are not links, they will give you a jump start to see if these resources are available on your smart-phone and/or computer: DEVOTIONAL HELPS

    As always, I am here to assist you in any way that I can.

    See you Sunday,

    Fr. Tom

    CURRENT OFFICE HOURS
    As we look for a new Office Administrator, please feel free to e-mail and call the office as usual. Emails to the office will be answered more readily, but Fr. Tom will also be checking voicemail. The general office hours will be Tuesday – Thursday from 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM, but it is always best to call first if you are going to stop by, as Fr. Tom’s schedule can change readily depending on need or context.
