Newcomers Lounge (The Lounge)
On Sundays, after the 10:00 service,
you're invited to the Newcomers Lounge, next to Clingman
Chapel near the portico door. If you're visiting St.
Matthew's, have been coming for a while, would like to
chat with others about this parish community, or just
want to find out what goes on around this place, this is
for you.
A couple vestry members and a clergy
person will be on hand to welcome you. This is a good
time, too, to get to know others who are discovering St.
Matthew's and all that this church has to offer. We hope
you'll join us. Welcome! |
The Last Word (Meeting Room A)
|
A clergy person will be on-hand in the Lounge,
following the 10:00 service, to be available for
discussion concerning the day’s readings, a Bible Study
on the lessons, the sermon, pastoral concerns, and
general chit-chat of church things.
