Word from Father Tom
Just a reminder that St. Matthew’s Annual Meeting will be held this Sunday, January 29th, following the 9:30 am. worship for the entire congregation.
We look forward to celebrating God’s faithfulness to us in the past year and preparing our hearts and minds for where He wants to lead us in this new year.
Fr. Tom

SOUPER SUNDAY OUTREACH/FELLOWSHIP EVENT
On Saturday, February 4th, beginning at 5:30 pm, we will be hosting a “Souper Saturday” as a precursor to the Super Bowl on Sunday Night and the subsequent Super Bowl and parties that will happen the following weekend. This event is a good opportunity to introduce others to our church family in a less-intimidating setting, along with good food and shared time with each other. Please see the sign-up sheet on the bulletin board next to the church office for various foods we are asking people to bring.
NEW MEMBER/CONFIRMATION INQUIRY CLASS We currently have 11 people signed up for the Confirmation/New Membership inquiry class. Father Tom will begin getting input from the class as to meeting times and a start date in February. There is still time to sign up on the sheet posted on the bulletin board next to the church office.
OUTREACH – ITEMS OF THE MONTH (January & February)
Let’s help The Salvation Army feed and shelter needy people this winter by donating personal hygiene items for both men and women and canned and boxed food such as: regular & travel-sized items like deodorant, shaving cream, lotions, and feminine hygiene products. Food items like hamburger helper, Ramen noodles, macaroni & cheese boxes, peanut butter, and hot sauce. Thanks for your donations!
COATS
After several Covid years, The Salvation Army will take gently used coats for adults. Place your donated coats in the big white box opposite the office and they’ll be delivered to The Salvation Army community center. Please, no “dress coats.” Thank you.
