St. Matthew's Core Values
WELCOMEWorship is the center of our common life. Worship moves us to service. That service is supported by fellowship and community. Worship + Service + Community. We invite you to take part in these with us.
We are a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, committed to hospitality, justice, inclusivity, mercy and joy in the name of Christ. We serve the West Side of the Salt Lake Valley. Our congregation came into being in 1989 when St. Paul and Atonement Lutheran churches merged. Online GivingSt. Matthew's is excited to provide the opportunity to give your tithes and offerings online in a safe and easy way. This system enables you to support the church by making a one-time contribution or establishing a recurring contribution.

Ministry Highlights
Every Sunday this Fall we will be highlighting and celebrating the various ministries that support the life of the congregation and our community. There will be handouts to let folks know how to get involved, a ministry minute during the announcements each Sunday, some of the ministries will be hosting fellowship on their “day,” others will have displays to check out and there may even be some video/picture clips on the monitor during fellowship. It takes all of us working together as church to spread the good news so show your support by thanking these teams and doing what you can as part of the Body of Christ.
Outreach Ministry
Thanks to everyone who donated items to our summer food drive! Because of your support, St. Matthew’s has donated a total of 621 pounds of food to help families in our community so far this year!
To offer our continued support to children living in poverty, the Outreach Ministry will be collecting diapers and formula during the months of September and October. Please leave your donations near the altar every Sunday. The donations will be taken to the Crossroads Urban Center to be distributed to families in our community.
St. Matthew’s will be hosting a meal for the families staying at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church on Monday, October 22nd. A sign-up sheet will be hanging in the Narthex. If you have any questions, please contact Mary Wimmer or Nancy Krogstad.
Reformation Sunday
October 28, 2018 Come celebrate with us! The color of the day is RED! We will be thanking all volunteers with a lunch provided by our council members during the fellowship hour. The Stewardship Ministry Team will also be doing a big thank you for everyone supporting the future of St. Matthew’s during this year’s annual appeal, Celebrate Sustainability 2019. 
All Saints Sunday
November 4, 2018 We will be remembering the saints that have gone before us during worship on November 4th. Bring small photographs (no larger than 5x7’s please) of your love ones for display on All Saints Sunday. You may also bring any small mementos for the display table. Please mark your items clearly and pick them up after worship. If you have friends who have lost someone recently, invite them to come and worship with us. We will light candles, say prayers, and share memories. V.B.S. - 2018 |
