St. Matthew’s Area Ministries is hosting its annual “Back To School” supplies drive to assist children in need of school supplies during in July. Specific items are designated for collection during each week. Please give generously. Every child deserves to begin school with the necessary tools for success.

Items they ran out of last year were: Pocket folders, three subject spiral notebooks, tissues (Kleenex), and paper towels.

Habitat for Humanity -
“Cheers for Volunteers”

On Monday, April 19, Habitat for Humanity of Metro Louisville held their Volunteer Recognition Dinner “Cheers for Volunteers” at St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church. Over 250 Habitat volunteers gathered in Saints Hall to recognize volunteers with 20 or more years of service. The Rev. Lucinda Laird led the invocation and Susan Turner, Board President, was the Mistress of Ceremonies. Rob Locke, Executive Director, spoke of the “Mission, Vision and Future of Habitat for Humanity”.

Special recognition was given to three of St. Matthew’s parishioners for their outstanding volunteer service to Metro Louisville Habitat for Humanity. Ron Johnson, Director of Construction, presented the “Silver Hammer Award” to Chuck Hamrick, Jo Brendel and Aidan Stone. Habitat for Humanity has been a part of St. Matthew’s since 1987 and continues to be part of our Community Outreach and covenant relationship with Holy Trinity.

What We Do

St. Matthew’s mission is to be a caring and inclusive community, centered in the Eucharist and grounded in the Gospel so that we can reach out as Christ’s hands in the world. (St. Matthew’s mission statement)

Throughout the year, your St. Matthew’s Social Concerns Committee plans and implements a variety of outreach and volunteer programs which are offered to you as opportunities to give of your time and/or talent. No one is expected to give to each program. If you are asked to become involved or to donate, please remember it is your choice. It is an opportunity not an obligation.

St. Matthew’s is a caring community! We welcome you to join the Social Concerns Committee. However, you don’t need to be a member of the committee to be involved in the activities we sponsor. Please consider joining us this year.

A brochure describing the many opportunities available to you is located in the Narthex to the right of the front reception desk. There is also a link at the top of this page to the brochure on line.
