Sunday’s Celebrations

Dear friends and members of St. Matt’s,

On Sunday, we will celebrate the end of our year as the summer begins. We will give thanks, as we always do, for the tremendous work of our choir. Each week from mid-September to mid-June they give of their time and talent. I don’t have to tell you that what they contribute to our life together is both beautiful and important. I am grateful for the ways in which they lift us. So, we will give thanks for this and more on Sunday as their year comes to an end.

And, as you know, this is also our last Sunday with Andrew. Please plan to come and be present, to thank him for his ministry among us, and to send him on his way with our love and blessings. After a service full of music – Andrew and the choir have quite a lot planned! – we’ll have a festive coffee hour in Andrew’s honor. Do come and wish him well.

Then, keep your eye out over the next few weeks for some summer plans! While things will slow down, we will continue to gather for worship and fellowship – and a few other things over the summer. More to come!

I hope you’ve enjoyed the beautiful days this week. And that you’ve found some time for rest and renewal. And I hope very much to see you on Sunday.

Faithfully,

–Marissa +
