The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021. Our 6:30pm Wednesday services will take on a Lenten theme from February 17th - March 24th. This year's sermon series is entitled "Let My People Go" and is based on the book of Exodus which describes God's deliverance for His people. Lenten services will gather in-person but will also be live-streamed to our Facebook page. Please join us as we focus on Christ and His Cross this Lent!

We will be holding a fund-raising raffle to support our Sunday school and Vacation Bible School this February at St. Matthew. There will be several different themed packages of items to be raffled. Tickets will be on sale starting Sun, Feb 7th. The cost will be $2 each or 3 for $5. The prizes will be drawn on the four Sundays of March. Thank you for support of our Christian education ministries at St. Matthew!

The youth group will be meeting for Bible study and fellowship on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the youth room. This semester, the youth will be meeting on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month. Beginning on Sun, Jan. 24th, 2021, our new study topic will be "Explaining all the Scary Stuff in the Book of Revelation." Youth in grade 7 through college are welcome! Please direct any questions to Matt Kortbein or Pastor Kory.
