We typically host a potluck dinner on the first Monday of each month, where wine and non-alcoholic beverages are served. There is no entry fee, but we encourage donations, which are distributed annually to organizations that support women in need. RSVP directly to Sue Van Voorhees at sukeyvanv@gmail.com.

Halloween Party

Kid’s Halloween Party during the Sunday 10 am service. Come in your costumes.

As part of our Halloween Trick-or-Treat Celebration on Sunday, October 26, we are inviting ministries to host a fun and meaningful moment with the kids. Each ministry will have five minutes to share what they do and how their work impacts the community. While hosting, ministries will hand out candy, lead a simple craft, or play a Halloween-themed game with the children. Becky will help you with this planning and provide the necessary items. It’s a wonderful way for our young ones to see faith in action and learn how ministry makes a difference! If your ministry would like to take part, please email Becky at stmattsyouthgj@gmail.com and join us for this special celebration of service, community, and fun!

Come Learn About Communion

Have you or your child ever wondered what communion is all about? Why we do it, what it means, and who is welcome?

Join Father Steve, and Children’s Ministry Director, Becky Vroman for a special Communion Class on Saturday, August 24, where children and adults can learn together about this sacred practice of our faith.

 We’ll explore the meaning of the Eucharist, the symbols of bread and wine, and what it means to come to the table in the Episcopal Church. This is a great opportunity for children preparing to receive communion for the first time—or for anyone who would like a deeper understanding.
