From the Pastor’s Desk…
Faith Chat:
We are called to proclaim God’s grace by proclaiming the story of Jesus, to bring light, hope and healing to the world.
Ecclesiastes 3: 1: “For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven.” I pray that this season of your life finds you rooted in the love and mercy of Jesus. I’ve been pondering about seasons as our Micah 6:8 ministry (a combination of Hospitality, Evangelism, Advocacy and Outreach) has received a World Hunger grant for $10,000 towards our strategic plan of a community gardens on the property at St. Matthew! A huge thanks to the Micah 6:8 team for their work on the grant and commitment to feeding our hungry neighbors! First steps are meeting with Taylorsville City Planners, hiring a landscape architect and planning for the planting season in the spring. Stay tuned for how you can support these efforts!
Faith Formation is also looking forward to this new season! VBW on August 30 is a fun kick-off to what is in store! A full calendar will be published soon, but in September and October mark your calendars for an Intergenerational workshop on the Lord’s Prayer on September 27 and Confession and Forgiveness on October 25. Both are after 10 AM worship in the fellowship hall and will be approximately an hour. If you’ve loved the Holy Communion and Baptism workshops, these are for you! And if you’ve missed the previous opportunities, pop in and see what you’ve been missing! They are hands on, small group oriented and good learning for all.
It is also a season where I am embarking on a new journey: in addition to serving at St. Matthew, I will be a part-time PRN chaplain at Intermountain Health Center in Murray. It is approximately 10 hours a week with two overnights of “on call.” This means that I may not be at every ministry meeting and encourage you to reach out to me to make appointments for a time to meet, pastoral care, and to not hesitate to email, text or call when you need support.
This brings me to the other season of opportunity for St. Matthew: We still need a small group coordinator. This person works with the groups who use our building both short term and long term. The role ensures the fees, forms and key agreements are followed, work with groups for building access when needed, and on-board new groups using the building. You get to meet many community neighbors! If this sounds like a good fit for you, please let Kelli Wendlandt or Pastor Brigette know!
God is with us in this and every season. May the God who journeys with us give us roots to grow and courage to bear fruit!
In Christ,
Pastor Brigette Weier
