AN
OPEN INVITATION:
"O come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a
joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!" - Psalm 95:1
The psalmist invites all of us to lift up our voices in praise and worship
to God. What better way to follow this advice than to join St. Matthew
Choir! It's easy: there is no experience required.
Just bring yourself and a
desire to learn, to make music together and to serve the Lord!
Do you play an instrument?
If
you are good with a violin, flute, clarinet oboe or guitar, and would like
to be involved in one or more of the worship services, please contact Mary Jo Hill or
Pastor Enderle.
Please keep in mind that if you would like to sing
or play an instrument, you are not required to be at every rehearsal or
service. Even if you only want to play or sing for one song, you are
more than welcome here at St. Matts!
For more information regarding
upcoming rehearsal dates or worship services choir will sing in, click
HERE.
Mike
Westendorf
Mike Westendorf, the Christian
recording artist who has performed at St. Matthew twice with his
Share the Hope concerts benefiting Hospice Touch and Warrens Area
First Responders, is getting ready to release his next album.
In an effort to raise funds for
the final production costs, Mike is doing a pre-order on his
website. For $20 you will have access to digital downloads now, and
a CD will be sent to you when they become available.
All the details are available at
mikewestendorf.com -- if you haven't explored his site yet, give it
a try!
Mike's done so much to support
our ministry here at St. Matthew; here's a chance for us to support
him in return!
A SIDE NOTE: Last fall, Mike
increased the number of his band members by adding two more
musicians, one of them being Rebecca (Becca) Pingel, daughter of St.
Matthew members Mark and Linda Pingel. The band plays regularly at
Point of Grace, the on-campus ministry for UW-Milwaukee.

Greeters and Treats
GREETERS: We are looking for
individuals who would be interested in serving as Sunday Morning Greeters.
The job is pretty simple - hand out bulletins and say a warm welcome as
people come to worship.
TREATS: For those that enjoy
something sweet in the morning, we are looking for Sunday Morning Treat
Bringers.
If
interested in either, there is a signup calendar in the cafe area. You may
still sign up for both, of course!

Card
Center and Book Nook
There is something new at St. Matts -
our Card Center and Book Nook. It's a place to pick up some Christian cards,
Bible study material, Bibles and other items. It's not designed to make a
profit - rather just to make some Christian material available. Would you
like to see it stocked with something? Or would you like a special Bible or
hymnal ordered? Just let Pastor Enderle know and hopefully we can get it for
you.
Church Library
New Book in the Church Library
"THE WORK OF HIS HANDS - A VIEW OF
GOD'S CREATION FROM SPACE"
by Colonel Jeffrey N. Williams
From the forward to the book:
"During his six month stint
at the International Space Station in 2006, Colonel Williams orbited
the earth more than 2800 times. He worked on hundreds of experiments
while suspended in microgravity. He took more photographs that any
other astronaut in history. And every picture contains vivid lessons
about the meticulous goodness of divine providence. The experience
impressed him with the greatness, glory and grace of God."
Publications
Available
The new
Forward in Christ is available in the narthex, as well of new copies
of the daily devotional booklet Meditations. Large print Meditations
are also available.

"Milk
Moola!"
St.
Matthew is continuing the Milk Moola redemption program that we began
a few years ago.
If you
buy Nature's Touch milk at Kwik Trip, save the bottle caps from the plastic
milk bottles or cut the entire plastic strip from the top of the bag (also
qualifying are donut price ovals). We receive 5 cents for every bottle cap
or plastic strip and 10 cents for every donut oval. To date we have received
nearly $200.
Thanks
to Grace Beltz and Arlys Maas for their hours of cutting and bundling!
Until
we receive the Milk Moola redemption container, please deposit any milk
tops, etc in the labeled box in the church kitchen.
