Join us on the front lawn as we celebrate the end of school year by making the largest, gooiest, messiest, ice cream sundae! We’ll supply the ice cream, bananas, & whip cream.

You can get tongue-tied and worn out just thinking about it. We at St. Matt's are here to help! Join us on Sunday, June 23rd at 12pm in the Parish Hall to hear from a panel of congregants - just like you - that have begun the journey, all in different ways, and hear advice and insight into how you can begin yours.
