A note about Covid safety
St. Matthew’s takes the safety of our parishioners, guests, volunteers, and staff very seriously. At this time, masks are encouraged but not required. We also strongly encourage keeping a safe distance when possible, staying home when feeling ill, and practicing good hand hygiene. For the latest information about the protocols we follow, click here.
At St. Matthew’s we believe that worship is the joyous responsibility of the whole community and not just the clergy. Many of our parishioners participate in the leadership of our services each week. God calls us all to diverse forms of ministry and we use our gifts in many different ways.
Our worship always includes prayer, Bible readings, and participation in the Eucharist. You do not need to be an Anglican to receive Communion in our church—all of God’s children are welcome here.
Near the middle of the service there is a sermon. It’s generally 10-15 minutes in length, and is delivered in a conversational style (i.e. not read word-for-word) from the middle of the church aisle.
The words of our service are printed in our bulletin and up on large screens at the front of the church, so you don’t have to worry about getting lost. The screens are included in the Sunday livestream, so you can follow along from home.
Children of all ages are welcome and included in church.
Coffee hour has resumed! Refreshments are available after worship on Sundays once a month. There is a sign-up sheet in church if you would like to be part of this ministry.
