GUEST SPEAKER Mr. Matt Klinker of The Gideons International will be with us for our service on Sunday, May 17th, to present the vital ministry of The Gideons. *A special noisy offering will be received for The Gideon's ongoing work in spreading the saving gospel of Christ.
CHURCH PICNIC, MAY 24 - We sincerely hope that you can join us next Sunday after the Service for our Memorial Weekend picnic. Enjoy a hamburger or hot dog from the grill. Please see Debbie Sorg to sign up to set up, clean up, or provide a side, salad, or dessert for the buffet table.
A BABY’S CLOSET - St. Matthew’s Women’s Ministry invites you to please see the special display table in the Bethany Room and pick up a mini-baby bottle to fill with cash, coins, or checks for A Baby’s Closet–a ministry of Associated Churches. ABC assists families experiencing hardship in Fort Wayne by providing essential items for infants. Checks may be made payable to St. Matthew’s with “baby bottle” on the memo line. Please return your bottle with your contribution by Father’s Day, June 21.
WE WILL BE HOSTING THE FRANCINE’S FRIENDS MOBILE MAMMOGRAPHY UNIT on Wednesday, July 22. Six volunteers will be needed to serve in 2 ¼ hour shifts as monitors in the Bethany Room in the event that someone needs to use the rest room. Please see the bulletin board for more information or to sign up to help.
OUR CHURCH WEBSITE - Have you checked out our church website lately? Many new features have been added, including Luther’s Small Catechism and weekly worship bulletins, sermons, and Taking Faith Home inserts.
