It is that time of year again! We are only three weeks away from the 30 Hour Famine. Our team goal is to raise $2000 to help fight hunger. A donation of just $40 feeds one child for a month.  Please use this link to donate to our team: https://www.30hourfamine.org/team/21167

You can also donate by cash or check made payable to World Vision. You can find Sheila Lanzalotto or one of the high school youth before or after worship or you can put your donation in the offering plate clearly marked to Sheila’s attention.  Thank you for helping those enduring hunger. Also needed are donations of 100% fruit juice boxes & 100% fruit cups/applesauce cups. A box has been placed in the lobby of the CLC.

On Sunday, January 27^th, we will have our Annual Meeting. The meeting will take place between the two worship services. The 9:00 service will be a little shorter so that we can start the annual meeting at about 9:50 so that we can start the 10:30 worship service on time. Hopefully you will have time to prayerfully consider how you will financially commit to St. Matthew’s in 2019.

After the 5:30 worship on Sunday, January 27th, we will gather for a meal and youth group. This service looks like our Sunday morning offerings with communion, a sermon and many songs that are familiar. This service will happen twice a month and a wonderful dinner will follow worship at 6:15. You don’t have to come to worship to enjoy the dinner so join us tonight so you have one less meal to worry about. When dinner finishes, we will have youth group for 4^th-5^th graders, confirmation (6-8^th grade) and high school youth (9-12^th grade) that will begin at 6:45 and last until about 8. High School youth group will meet at St. Matt’s this week.
