"Rejoicing in Christ, Empowered to Serve."
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. Newsletters:July Newsletter

Outreach Ministry Update for July
Poverty Fact of the Month: More than 78,000 households in Utah earn less than $15,000 per year. 
The Calendar of Giving
Each month the Outreach Ministry will be asking for donations of specific items. These food and clothing items will be used to stock the St. Matthew's Pantry and also donated to community organizations that serve those in need. The requested item for the month of July is pasta, rice and dry beans. 
The Outreach Ministry is holding a food drive during the summer months. Our goal is to reach 500 pounds of food donations by September 1st! Please help us reach our goal by donating non-perishable food items throughout the summer!
If you have any questions regarding the Outreach Ministry, please contact Jenny Cox 801-971-6903 or Jennifer Peterson 801-897-4443. 
This Little Piggy…
During the first few Sundays in June we will be handing out “Piggy Banks” again for the ELCA World Hunger collection during the summer. Our goal is to exceed our giving last year of nearly $800 by Rally Day, September 10th. That would buy a pig for at least 25 families around the world! For many living in global poverty according to ELCA’s World Hunger campaign, “A pig in the pen is money in the bank! A piglet is a perfect financial investment for many people around the world. That’s because within months this little piglet can grow to nearly 200 pounds and grab a great price at the market. Should a family have a failed harvest, medical expense or other unexpected need, this gift can be cashed in to make all the difference.” So take home a pig or two…fill it up…bring it back when Sunday School resumes on Rally Sunday, September 10th. 
Thanks to everyone who purchased a chick during April and May! We raised a total of $126 for ELCA World Hunger!
