Be Part of a New Family Opportunity
We are creating a new "Family Ministry Team" to plan events for, and consider ways to help and support, our younger families (elementary age and below) at St. Paul's and St. Matthew's. This team will meet on a regular basis, either monthly or every other month, to brainstorm and identify opportunities to more deeply engage younger families. If you are interested in being part of this team, please contact Craig Miller at craigyouthmin@gmail.com.

Outdoor Service
On Sunday, August 25, we will celebrate a wonderful outdoor service (weather permitting) at 9:30 am. This is always such a delightful event that it would be a great opportunity to invite a friend, neighbor or family member to worship that day! After the service we will get to enjoy an ice cream celebration! Hawaiian shirts encouraged!
Please note that for those who regularly watch our livestream, due to the complications of offering the livestream outdoors, only the pre-recorded sermon will be offered that morning.
