MINISTRIES

Outreach

For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me. . . And the King will answer them, “Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it unto me”.
Matthew 25:35-36, 40

St. Matthew’s Outreach Ministry offers interested volunteers opportunities to serve our community and beyond. A sampling of ongoing projects include:  Backpack program to feed local hungry school kids; support of the Shanklin Center for elderly women, food pantry collection for Covenant House; Angel Tree and other programs supporting youths during the holidays, and American Red Cross blood drives.

Stewardship

Living through Giving

We believe that people want to make a difference in our Church, our community, and the world, and, when given the opportunity will respond in a spirit of thanksgiving, with generosity.

St. Matthews’s Stewardship Program focuses on this spirit of thanksgiving for our blessings. The response to this thanksgiving is the giving of time, talent and treasure. St. Matthew’s provides a year-round theological education effort in which we are invited to engage in Scripture, reflect on how God is working in our lives, and consider what God is calling each of us to do with the gifts He has given.

Pastoral Care

 

  • Pastoral Care is a committee of the parish made of lay people and the Vestry who reach out to people in times of need of support during life’s journey.
  • Fellowship is about food and fun. The Fellowship Committee operates to bring joy to the parish during times of refreshment. Numerous events for fellowship are offered throughout year.
  • Newcomers are welcomed by the Newcomer Committee. When you visit St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, you will be our respected and welcomed guest. You will worship God with us as that is our focus and you will feel the Presence of God in this place.
  • The Prayer Chain offers the power of prayer to those in need. If you would like to add someone to the Prayer Chain please email PrayerRequests@stmattswv.org, or fill out a prayer card for the box at the back of the church.
