We’re getting ready for tomorrow!  We hope to see you at St. Matthew’s Pink Elephant Rummage Sale beginning at 8:00 AM tomorrow morning (Saturday, April 13th) and ending at noon.  As you can see in the photos posted, our youth, adult UMYF leaders and Parents have all been graciously donating their time for this event.  All proceeds will go to further support our youth programs and youth mission projects.

Join us at 8:30 AM tomorrow morning for our Spring Service Day!  It should be beautiful weather as we package roughly 49,000 pounds of potatoes to help feed our hungry neighbors.  Even if you’ve never been to St. Matthew’s before, we encourage you to come out and help with this community mission.  All ages can participate so bring everyone you know! Get address and contact information on our website (http://www.stmatthewsumc.org/contact.php). No need to RSVP, just show up, everyone is invited!
