Really Good News
I am pleased to inform you that all Outreach, Funded Reserve, and Diocesan Assessments that were deferred in April and May were paid in June. We now continue to pay these important expenses every month as usual!
Again, this was made possible by you, the St. Matthew’s parishioners, giving what you can during this crazy pandemic. If you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please call or email me. I am happy to discuss and answer all your questions. We are all in this together!
Peace,
Betty Anderson, Treasurer

Join us Sunday at 9:45 am for our weekly prayer service through Zoom. We'll experience the liturgy, prayers, music, sermon, spiritual Communion, even birthdays and anniversaries, and of course fellowship! See your fellow parishioners live, send them brief messages, offer them the sign of peace, and “sit next to them” during the service. Service will begin promptly at 10:00.
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 works 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!
Fridays, 7:00 pm

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!
