Come celebrate this Lenten season in a very unique way with our Pastors and hot freshly made donuts! Due to COVID protocols, things will be done quite differently, but the message and celebration of Jesus' resurrection will still be the same!

Back By Popular Demand... The Detroit Mini Donut Food Truck! Come and join us on Saturday, March 20, at 9:00 a.m. to celebrate our Risen Savior. To sign up, please click HERE! LAST DAY FOR REGISTRATION IS TOMORROW!

We hope to see you there for this delicious celebration!

The St. Matthew "Shut-In" Ministry is very special to St. Matthew Lutheran School. For years, our students have been sending cards every month to our elderly friends who are usually homebound or in a nursing facility. However, the pandemic has really been difficult on this particular group of precious people because it has required them to isolate even more from friends and family, since a majority of them are in the "high risk" category.

We want to let these dear friends know that we are thinking of them and, more importantly, that God loves them, so we have crafted Easter gifts and cards. However, we need some help in distributing these items to the porches and facilities of the homebound!

If your family would be interested in helping us make a few of these deliveries, please click HERE. All items will be in a gift bag with handles.

We would like to make these deliveries next week. Families may pick up gift bags and addresses either Tuesday, March 23, or Wednesday, March 24, in the back parking lot before school dismisses. Deliveries can be made anytime that works best for your family's schedule.

Thank you for your consideration!

In Jesus' Love,

Mrs. Palka

During our virtual classes April 6 - 9 all students in grades 1 - 8 will need a device that has a working microphone and camera. Cell phones are extremely small and challenging. If you need to borrow a school device, please complete our Technology Request Form. In addition to this request form, we also need the Chromebook User Agreement printed, signed, and returned prior to the pickup of your device. This request must be submitted by Wednesday, March 24th.

For students who request to borrow a device, those devices will be sent home on Friday, March 26th. If your child will not be in school on 3/26, please contact Mrs. Welte at: yvonne.welte@st-matthew to make arrangements for earlier pickup. All devices must be returned when school resumes in-person on Monday, April 12th.

Track will start soon for grades 4 - 8. Mr. Streather will coach this year, and he is looking for a few people to help.

In order for it to be possible to have a track team, we will need at least one more adult at each practice.

If you would willing to help out in any capacity, or if you have any questions, please contact Wendy Scheiwe: wendy.scheiwe@st-matthew.org

Who wants to try their hand (well feet mostly) at Track? St. Matthew is looking for people to run, jump, and throw with your friends 4th grade and above. Meet at the parking lot at 5:00 pm on Wednesday, March 24th, for a one-and-a-half-hour introductory training. No experience necessary! I will give out some training sessions for the Spring Break and following week to do at home.

I am looking forward to seeing you then. If you can’t make it that day, but are interested, please email me at streatherg@hotmail.com, and I can send you the training sessions for the Break.

Hope to see you there; come dressed to run outside! Like other sports, masks are required.

Coach Gavin Streather (Ethan’s dad)

New COVID Student Screening Forms are being sent home today. Every day, we have a staff member review and file these forms. Please make sure that each day, you complete the entire form, including the name and grade of your child, as well as answer every question. Thank you for your support and cooperation!

If you would like to print copies of these forms at home please click HERE.

This has been such a challenging year of designing and implementing safety protocols as we strive to keep our staff and students as safe as possible during the COVID pandemic.

As the COVID cases in Michigan continue to be significant in number, we celebrate and praise God that we have been able to continue to offer in-person learning with minimal consequences.

However, just as with the Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations, we recognize that many families will visit with extended family members during the Easter holiday. As a precautionary and proactive measure, we have prayerfully discerned that the students in grades 1st through 8th will have school online for the week of April 6 - 9 as a way to safely "self isolate" the student body.

The school day will be designed in a similar fashion to a regular school day except virtually. Our plans are for school to resume in-person on April 12, and, God willing, we will remain in person for the remainder of the school year.

Due to the healthy statistics of preschool and Kindergarten aged children in the state of Michigan, St. Matthew Lutheran Preschool and Kindergarten will remain in person unless the State of Michigan would mandate otherwise.

Our goal is to keep in-person instruction occurring as safely and frequently as possible, and we believe that these measures will positively assist us in these endeavors.

God is with us. He will guide us because we know "There Is No Impossible With God!"

Please join us for worship this Easter, on Sunday, April 4th! We are offering in person and online worship this year. If you plan to attend in person worship, an RSVP will help us plan for overflow if necessary, so please let us know that you and your family are coming. To RSVP please click HERE.
