Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

40 Year Celebration

 

A beautiful night of food, family and friends, the 40th Anniversary Celebration was an event to be remembered! As hundreds of families celebrated together with a potluck dinner, they were entertained by inspiring music and fun quiz games highlighting memorable events of the past 40 years. The night ended with a very special communion shared by all.

 

If you have not yet purchased your 40th Anniversary Coffee Table Book, please call the front office or speak to someone in the foyer after the worship services. Another order is being placed soon. The book celebrates the 40th Anniversary of St. Matthew Church with photos from the ground breaking in 1971 to present day people and events, including the building of our church, worship, elders, staff, missions, children, youth, adults, the Christian School, the Fine Arts Academy, holidays, special events and more!

Wanted: a patient, loving, understanding, woman who has a heart for an energetic group of kids in our Edge Ministry on Wednesday Nights. God has called St. Matthew to minister to these amazing kids who love to skate and roam around town. He is counting on us to step up, love them and tell them about Jesus Christ. Come on over to the Edge - it's an adventure you won't regret! If God is speaking to you to check this opportunity out, please email Leslie at llummus@stmattcpc.org  or Rick Carruth at RickCarruth@sbcglobal.net
