Donation Drop-off this Saturday

Betty Greer will be at church to collect donations from 1-2:30pm on Saturday, July 16th and 30th. Most needed items are listed on the left sidebar.

SUMMER MUSIC NEEDED

We need volunteers to grace our summer services with musical selections. Many of you have musical talents but cannot commit to the rehearsal schedules of the groups. This is an excellent time to step up and share them in Worship. It doesn’t have to be fancy, sometimes simpler is better. Individuals, duets, or small groups all work well. There is a sign-up sheet in the narthex or you can contact the office and let us know which Sunday you would like to play.

Outdoor Worship Services

We will have an outdoor service, weather permitting, each month this summer. Please join us on Sunday, July 24th, and August 28th. Please bring your own chair.

The nursery will not be open on outdoor worship days. We will have Sunday School.

Back Bay Mission Trip - October 15th-21st

St. Matthew will be sending a group of volunteers to Biloxi, Mississippi this fall to work with Back Bay Mission. Volunteer opportunities include worksite construction, painting, helping in the food pantry, assisting clients at the Micah Day Center, and preparing food at Loaves & Fishes soup kitchen.

The cost for the trip is $250 per person, which covers the cost of accommodations (dormitory style) in the volunteer Mission house on the Back Bay campus. If you are interested or would like to know more about the trip, look for the sign-up sheet in the narthex. A final count needs to be submitted by August 1st.

Contact Jeannine Adams for additional information at 630.890.7690.

Nursery Volunteers Needed!

The nursery is open! We are looking for volunteers willing to be the second adult in the nursery. We hope to have enough volunteers that you would only be scheduled once a month at the most. Please contact Kenna at kenna1@comcast.net or 630.209.5710 if you would like to be added to the list. Thank you!

Scripture Readers

 

If you would like to read scripture during the Sunday worship service, please contact Bruce Anderson at bruceanderson5959@gmail.com and he will add you to the list. 

Greeters Needed

We would like to have greeters welcoming people again. Would you be able to commit to one (1) Sunday a month for a few months? No handshake is needed, just a smile and a "Good morning!" Let Wendy Fanning or the office know if you would like to be a greeter.

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