All persons baptized with water & the Spirit in the Name of the Trinity are invited to receive the Eucharist. Those who wish to only receive a blessing may cross their arms. It is perfectly acceptable to receive the Eucharist in only one kind (i.e. the Host), and then decline the chalice, crossing your arms.

Those traveling; those in recovery; all those serving overseas & their families; our family in various homes and programs; and all those grieving. (Please keep these people in your prayers, as we will be rotating names every three weeks or so to include those currently asking for prayer.)
An Easter Liturgical Reminder: The Easter Season lasts 50 days, until June 12th.
The emphasis is on God’s forgiveness & love, not our guilt. Traditionally, therefore, no Confession nor kneeling during Easter.
The paper plate figures on the church walls are our Easter alleluias, drawn by the Sunday School and hidden throughout Lent.
St. Matthew’s Health Ministry reminds us that MAY is
Small Changes make BIG DIFFERENCES MONTH
LOVING CREATOR, I know in your great love for me, you see the deep sorrow in my heart. Hear my prayers which are offered with such trust in you. Be with me in both mind and heart as I renew my life in your spirit. Amen.
