Parish Update: Summary of May 3rd Meeting
Dear friends and members of St. Matt's,
Yesterday afternoon, a number of us gathered for a conversation about the life of the parish in this season: where we are, and where we're headed. Along with staff and Officers, we presented a snapshot of our story at the moment. Among other things, Brian shared important information about WEPCO and the Auction, Samantha shared her work with our children and youth, Jen gave us news of mission and virtual engagement, Keith walked us through the numbers, and I offered some important information about opening and the state of the parish today. So, please take a careful look through the links and the slides below. If you missed it - we kept the meeting just under an hour (as promised!), so please plan to join us for the next one.
I have committed to you that we will continue to be transparent and communicate frequently. So, what follows is a summary of the information shared yesterday. If you have questions, please feel free to be in touch. I'd be happy to discuss anything with you further. And know that we will continue to communicate frequently, including with another update in a few months time.
In short, our life together and with God continues to be rich and vibrant. And we are doing everything we can to support you and to grow the life of the parish during this season. We need you to join us in that work. Tell us what you need, contribute to the needs of the saints, and help us continue to be a blessing to the community around us.
Thank you for your presence in our community. Thank you for all the ways that you support us and our life together. Thank you for sharing the unique and special gifts that God has given just to you. We need each other and we will continue to move through this time together.
God bless you and keep you.
Faithfully,
--Marissa +
