Well it's been a while since I posted but most of you know about the way things have been going in our lives lately. Thanks be to God, Tom is home from the hospital and doing very well. Thanks to all of you for your care and concern. We now turn our prayers toward speedy healing for our friend Roy. Hope he gets to go home soon.
Sunday past, the Spirit was truly moving through Saint Mats. With more than 75 people there, the room was alive with a feeling of love and sharing. The Saint Matthew's School First Grade certainly contributed to the joy in the room. With them, we all made a Joyful Noise to the Lord! Thank you, Mrs. Solis for bringing your beautiful students to share their songs and Bible Verses with us.
Another sign of the Holy Spirit's presence in our church is Father Bob's Children's Sermon. Surrounded by little ones, he sits and explains to them in simple, often illustrated language the Gospel Story of the day. It is truly a wonderful thing to see. Certainly, Matthew 18: 5 is known at St. Mat's. The little chidren come and are welcomed!
Remember that there is Sunday School for the little ones, K5 thru 5th grade on Sunday Mornings at 9:30. Our new Nursery Attendant, Annalise Castro has activities for the babies, 5 years and younger in the Nursery during Service. Youth group for 6th grade up meets on Wednesdays at 6 in the Youth/DOK room in the Parish Hall. Come on, come all and feel the Spirit move!
