2020-2021-2022

2 Corinthians 9:6
“The one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one the sows abundantly will reap abundantly.”
We will reap abundantly if we do the abundant work. A steward is someone entrusted with property that belongs to another. Because everything we have is a gift from God, we are called to offer a portion of what we have received back to the fulfilling of God’s purposes.
Collectively, we understand that St Matthew’s has a mission grounded in Christ. It impacts us as individuals, it impacts our community, and it impacts the wider world. To maintain our worthy causes we ask you to make them your own. Become a steward by giving your time, expressing your talents, and pledging your treasure. By this you will be continuing God’s mission, a mission of joy and abundance!
As always, a HUGE thank you to all who support the work of St. Matthew’s financially throughout the year. We cannot do what we do without you!
If you’re interested in setting up automatic payments so you don’t have to worry about these kinds of things, your local bank should be able to help with that. Still have questions? Contact the Parish Office , and we’ll walk you through it.
