Come join us on Sunday, September 19th for an afternoon of fun and fellowship and celebrate being back together after a long time apart! Everyone from Wilton and our neighboring communities is invited, so please bring some friends! Food and treats will be available from the Parlor Pizza Truck and Susan Schmitt’s, The Painted Cookie. There will be lots of fun for our kiddos including rides on Thomas the Tank Engine, an obstacle course, basketball, corn hole, face painting and a live youth band, Imprint, playing music. In addition, our new Director of Music Ministries and Organist, Andrew Leslie Cooper, will give everyone a taste of what is to come from our music program and answer all your questions about our youth choirs. There will also be an opportunity for you to help support our mission partners,Open Doors Shelter in Norwalk, and WiAct, the Wilton Interfaith Action Committee. We will collecting after-school snacks for the children at Open Doors Shelter and food for Afghan refugees (more information below). So please make plans to join us, and anyone who wants to know more about all the great things going on at St. Matthew’s.
