Earth Day Celebration and Blessing of the Bicycles
On Sunday, April 26, St. Matthew’s will observe Earth Day at the 10:30 Family Service. One of the ways in which we celebrate our stewardship of the earth is by lowering our transportation carbon footprint. Bring your bicycles, bus passes, walking shoes, scooters and inline skates and join us for the “Blessing of the Bicycles”.
At the
Souper Sunday lunch following the service, children will have the opportunity to fill small containers with suitable materials that birds can use to help build their nests. The children can then take these home, put them in places accessible to their local birds and watch the action.
Souper Sundays
Souper Sundays are a time of fellowship for our church family. Come and meet other members and enjoy some of the best soup ever! Please check the online calendar for dates. They typically take place on the last Sunday of the month after the 10:30am service.
All are welcome!
