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.
