Welcome to the website of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of St. Matthew. Over the past six months, the Church, according to the Liturgical calendar, celebrated the three great Feasts - Christmas, Easter, and Pentecost. With hearts, hands, and voices, the praises of the faithful ascend the throne of God as the church remembers God's story - the story of salvation in Jesus Christ, God's Son, our Lord. We are now in the non-festival half of the liturgical calendar, also called "Ordinary" time - a time when the faithful take to the outdoors in giving witness to that story. It is a story for all people to know because it is one of Good News - that God freely forgives sins, for Christ's sake, who died to atone for the sins of the world and rose from the dead on the third day, so that the world might be saved through Him. |
