Summer Worship Schedule Changes

 

Beginning with the Memorial Day weekend on Sunday May 25, we began the summer worship schedule at St. Matthew's.  Please note that due to our clergy and music director's commitments and vacation schedules, along with planned parish events, we will be revising our Sunday service schedule for the summer and will not be holding our 5 pm service every Sunday.  We will continue to offer the 8 am and 9:30 am services every Sunday, and the Taizé Liturgy the fourth Sunday of each month at 5:00 pm.  On July 13 and August 10, we plan to have the 5 pm service followed by a potluck picnic.  Please bring something for the table on these days – the church will supply the meat.  The schedule of 5 pm services for the summer is as follows:

 

 

Sunday, July 13

5 PM celebration of the Holy Eucharist followed by a Potluck Picnic.

 

Sunday, July 27

5 PM Taizé Liturgy

 

Sunday, August 10

5 PM celebration of the Holy Eucharist followed by a Potluck Picnic.

 

Sunday, August 24

5 PM Taizé Liturgy

 

Sunday, September 21

CLERGY OFFICE HOURS

The clergy are available daily, but their duties may require them to be other places rather than their office during the summer.  Should you need to speak to Jack or Emily, please call the office and the answering machine will give you instructions about how to contact one of our priests.
