Dear Visitor, St. Matthew's will join churches all over the country celebrating Back to Church Sunday at our weekend services on September 11-12. This will be a great time to check out St. Matthew's as we begin a new program year of activities. During the Sunday school hour at 9:45 a.m. on September 12, we will have our Rally Day activities, kicking off new classes for students of all ages. Parents of all three-year-olds, third graders, and sixth graders will be asked to come forward with their child to receive new Bibles on Rally Day. The parent will place the Holy Scriptures in their child's hands in fulfillment of promises made at Baptism. Then we will encourage both parents and children to be faithful students of God's Word. Children aged three through fifth grade will participate in a rotational Sunday school learning Bible stories. Children will learn major texts with ample time given to learning the story in a variety of ways. Children's music will be included in the rotation. Middle school and high school classes will each do age-appropriate Bible study and discussion that connects God's Word with daily life. Several topical adult classes will be offered. During the fall, my adult Sunday school class will study the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian creeds and, in the spring, study the Augsburg Confession. Each Monday at noon we have Conversations, a look at the preaching text for the following Sunday. Each Monday at 6 p.m. we offer a brief study of Luke's gospel followed by sung Evening Prayer. The Lutheran Student Movement (college group) will have a weekly supper at 7 p.m. following Evening Prayer. Each Wednesday at 6 p.m. and Thursday at 10 a.m. we offer Crossways, an in-depth study of the Bible beginning September 5-6. Finally, middle school Confirmation instruction for sixth through eighth grade students begins with a parent/student orientation on Wednesday, September 15, at 7 p.m. Our weekly Confirmation program includes classroom instruction taught by me and small mentoring groups led by adult Christian guides. When the Lord Jesus calls disciples to follow, He intends for us to be lifelong learners. Regardless of your age or the size of your household, there is a discipleship opportunity for everyone at St. Matthew's. I hope you'll accept this invitation to visit. Thanks for stopping by!
