COMMUNITY
Here at Saint Matthew’s we are building a “community.” A place of friendship, sharing and support that demonstrates that we are a community that “knows and shares God’s love." Each year we are adding more and more ways that provide you with support, fun and new friends. The items below illustrate what we currently provide and areas of growth for 2008.
