Scripture: Jeremiah 18:1-11

"How God Remakes Us"

 Rev. Kyle Roggenbuck

Due to the holiday, we will not have coffee after the service. 

Due to the holiday, communion will NOT be served on September 4th.

Communion will be celebrated on September 11th during our Come Together service.

Please join us on Sunday, September 11th, after the service for our church picnic!

We will have live music, a bounce house, egg toss, snow-cone machine, popcorn, and a cookout.

Please bring a dish to pass and an item for our bake sale, which will offset the cost of renting the bounce house.

As St. Matthew's work trip to Biloxi draws near, we are collecting Walmart gift cards to donate to Back Bay Mission. These gift cards will be used to purchase food for the food pantry, supplies for the Micah Day Center, or to support other client needs. St. Matthew will also benefit when the gift cards are purchased through the RaiseRight (formerly ShopwithScrip) gift card program. Edie DeBoard will be taking gift card orders on the first Sunday of the month. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Cards can be put in the offering plate on Sunday or dropped in the office mailbox. Contact Jeannine Adams with questions.

Due to busy back-to-school schedules and other conflicts, Women’s Group will not meet in September.

Tracey Blake will host the October meeting at her home on Thursday, October 6th at 7pm.

We've heard that people aren't sure how they can sign up to be a part of the Sunday worship service. 

We've created a Worship Opportunities Worksheet (WOW) that contains all the volunteer opportunities through the end of 2022. You can sign up to read announcements, scripture, be a greeter, an usher, or an acolyte. All you need to do is click here and add your name to the appropriate date and opportunity. It's that simple! 

At the top of each column, you will see the name of a contact who can answer any questions about the specific opportunity. You can also contact the office. We'd love to have you be a part of an upcoming service!

Would you be willing to make some valances for our newly painted nursery? If so, please contact Kenna Anderson at Kenna1@comcast.net or 630.209.5710. Thank you!

The St. Matthew worship service will be streamed every Sunday at 9:30am. The service will be available on our website after the service.
