Summer Worship Hours Until Further Notice beginning July 7 Early Worship Service - 8:15 a.m. Fellowship Hour - 9:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. Sunday School - 9:30 am. - 10:15 a.m. Late Worship Service - 10:30 a.m. Things happening in our community: During the summer many children who receive school lunches go hungry because there is no food at home. Matthew House has arranged to receive food from two local IGA stores that can then be distributed appropriately to the children and this food is very important in the summer. However, we do not have the staff to take full advantage of the opportunity. We need at least two volunteers with cars to pick up the food (usually 4-5 large boxes) and then organize it for distribution. The time commitment is small, only 2 hours in the morning. Our pick-up days are Thursdays and Fridays and we can reimburse the drivers for mileage. This is a much needed service and those who participate can know that they have truly helped children in need.
