Letter from the Council President:
"For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, do not fear’ I will help you. Isaiah 41:13
As we move closer to calling a Pastor, this Bible verse came to mind, God is listening to us, and we need to be patient and pray, and see what God has planned for St. Matthew’s.
In my sermon on August 20th, I talked about praying and waiting for an answer from God. Praying and waiting for a sign or answer from God is hard to do. In today’s society with instant information at a touch of a key pad, information is available for us right now. But waiting for an answer for God may take time.
While we wait, I believe God is teaching us patience, and allowing us to grow in a fellowship with God. It is hard to wait for an answer from God, but God will answer our prayers.
Our call committee members have been meeting regularly and are in conversation with our Transition Coach Pastor Barb Martens to discuss the process and continue to move forward. Please keep our call committee in your prayers.
St. Matthew’s has a lot going on, so please remember, look for information about what’s happening.
Council is dedicated to keeping you informed and of course the best way to keep you up to date is to come to service on Sunday. We have a coffee and treat table setup before service, beginning at 9:00 am. Services begin at 10:00 am and the adult forum class is on a break for the summer and will resume September 17th.
Our senior breakfast club is growing if you would like to join us meet at Dee’s Family Restaurant 4710 South Redwood Road every other Tuesday at 9:00 am. Our next breakfast dates are September 12th and 26th.
