Letter from the Council President:
Each of you should use whatever gifts you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. 1 Peter 4:10
This quote from Peter was on a card in my Thrivent Kit that I had received when I applied for an action grant from Thrivent for our pantry along with T shirts and thank you cards.
Over the last several months each Ministry of St Matthew’s spoke during services about what they do and who is on the Ministry and the mission and purpose of each Ministry. Every Ministry has asked for volunteers to help on that Ministry and Church Ministries play a crucial role in fostering community, spiritual growth, and social outreach. The backbone of these ministries is often the volunteers who dedicate their time, skills, and resources to support various St Matthew’s activities.
Volunteers are indispensable to the success and vitality of St Matthew’s ministries. Their motivations for volunteering are diverse, ranging from spiritual growth and community connection and personal fulfillment.
The contributions of volunteers enable St Matthew’s to expand our outreach and service efforts. Ministries focused on humanitarian aid and community support rely heavily on volunteer involvement. These activities 2 July Newsletter Articles: The Prayer Shawl Ministry will meet on the first Monday of every month at 2 PM. Prayer shawls, hats, baby blankets, and scarves are projects we work on together. We have a great need for yarn donations; please see Mary Wimmer or Henny Johnson for more information. extend St Matthew’s impact beyond this congregation, addressing the needs of the wider community.
If you would like to be part of one of St Matthew’s Ministry, please see me or Pastor Brigette and we will direct you to the Ministry lead person so you can get started.
