AUGUST 2024
From the Pastor’s Desk
VBS was a smashing success this year thanks to all our helpers, teachers and actors. We had a total of 20 children – we fed them at 5:30 each evening, then the fun, learning and games began. They listened, learned, sang and danced the night away, all the time hearing the assuring words that Jesus loves them just as they are.
August is a month for Gospel lessons during Sunday worship focused on John 6- “Jesus as the Bread of Life”. With that in mind, there will be communion every Sunday during the month to reinforce our hearing, learning and growing in our faith walk through the Bread of Life. May God bless all our members and friends of St. Matthew as we prepare for Autumn with Sunday School for both adults, children, and Youth confirmation class.
Confirmation class begins on October 6th – please contact me to enroll your youth in the class for the year. Graduation will be March 2nd 2025-with Easter April 20th, 2025. The program includes 6th graders and older, so please sign up in the narthex for class and/or notify Pastor Kelly of your intent to participate. Participation includes at least one parent and/or guardian for only 1 hour per session or 17 weeks, directly following Sunday School.
Blessings,
Pastor Kelly
