MESSAGE FROM THE RECTOR
Dear and Beloved Friends,
Oh St. Matthew’s—what a wonderful church you are!
In the pages that follow, you will see abundant evidence of this. It’s glorious. In a year when pretty much everyone everywhere was trying to figure out what it means to do church after the pandemic, you just dove right in and did what needed to be done. You gathered for worship. You loved well. You served often. You kept on learning (so important!) You gave big. You faithfully kept our mission going, knowing and sharing God’s love with such joy and enthusiasm!

"The body of Christ, what does this mean? The physical body of Jesus that lived and breathed and turned water into wine and died on the cross? The body of Christ as given to us in the Eucharist? It's US. WE are the body of Christ"
