Greetings St. Matthew members!
After 33 years of teaching students with special needs and 11 years as a limited time lecturer and placement coordinator for the Online MSEd in Special Education at Purdue University I am now beginning a new adventure as the new administrative secretary of St. Matthew Church. Many of you know my husband Garry, your organist, and have probably seen me at a church dinner or activity. I look forward to serving St. Matthew Church and its members! . Please stop by the office to say hello the next time you are at St. Matthew!

Thanks to Joanie, Nancy, Jane and Jan for spreading St. Matthews love each week. Both flowers and visit bring joy.
The roses were my favorite and loved the aqua jar.
They were greatly appreciated with the events of the past week.
Thanks again

We all need prayers and isn’t it a wonderful and kind thing we can do for each other.

We are so blessed with the support that St. Matthew provides to this ministry. Preschool Sunday, we had close to 500 that attended the service, which is counting the preschool staff and children.
