At 9:45 am this Sunday, click on the link below to join your fellow parishioners LIVE for our own St. Matthew’s Church Service. Though technically a “prayer service,” as there will be no physical Communion, the service will very much resemble regular Sunday services, with liturgy, prayers, music, sermon, spiritual Communion, and even birthdays and anniversaries. And, very importantly, there will be fellowship! You will be able to see your fellow parishioners live, send them brief messages, offer them the sign of peace, and “sit next to them” during the service.
If you weren’t there last Sunday, you missed out! It was wonderful as we “gathered,” connected, had great fellowship, saw all the smiling faces, and had one of the largest turnouts for a service in recent memory. Come join us and be “back” at St. Matthew’s.
We will begin gathering about 9:30 am and the service will begin at 10:00. If you have any problems or questions, e-mail
stmatthewsorlandozoom@gmail.com and we’ll do our best to help.
See you Sunday!

The St. Matthew's Community Gathers Online

St. Matthew's worship service and fellowship are all being conducted on Zoom, a virtual meeting platform. Zoom will work on any computer, smart phone, or tablet with a camera and internet service. To get started, install the Zoom app/software on your device by clicking clicking a meeting link, which will walk you through the simple installation, then take you to the meeting. Sometimes that doesn’t work, in which case go to the app store for your device and install the app called “Zoom Cloud Meetings.” Once installed, click the meeting link and follow the prompts. If you don’t have a smart/internet device, that’s ok too; join us on any phone. Simply call (646) 558-8656 and enter the 11-digit meeting code and password when prompted.

Fab Friday Fizz Faithfuls
“meets” by Zoom every Friday and everyone from St. Matthew’s is invited! It is wonderful seeing and “being with” some fellow Church members each week! We enjoy catching up with St. Matthew's friends and talking and sharing about life these days.
Though we started this group a couple of years ago with a fun fizz faithful focus on beer, no beer is required to join us these days at all. The important thing is connecting during this time. Being “there” with fellow St. Matthew's faithfuls is good no matter what your beverage of choice is! Come join us for fun and fellowship!

Search Committee
The Covid-19 outbreak has slowed the search for clergy across the country. Our current nomination phase will continue until the Canon to the Ordinary is satisfied that we have enough potential candidates to begin the interview process. Until then, the the committee is refining our interview questions and process to maintain momentum, so that we are ready when the Canon gives us the green light.
