2013 - ENGAGE!

This year's Outreach theme is "Engage".  I'd like to see as many people at St. Matthew's engaged in the lives of as many people in the community as possible.  So we need to think big!  To find out more and participate in planning our new Outreach initiatives, please come out this Thursday evening at 7:30pm.  I hope to see you there!

Great News for Jessica and her family!!!

In December, the St.Matt's family came together with the community to raise funds at the Community Toy Sale for the Choe family, who had just weeks before found out their 7yo daughter Jessica had lymphoma.  Since that time, Jessica has been undergoing weekly chemo treatments.  This week, her PET scan showed no signs of cancer. Jessica will still have 2 months of chemo, but this is wonderful news for Jessica and the Choe family.  Please continue to pray for them as Jessica continues to heal and recover.

St. Matthew's Outreach - A New Year - A New Blog

Hi Friends!

I've been thinking about the best way to communicate all the wonderful Outreach happenings at St. Matt's.  We announce events on Facebook and at weekly services, yet there is never enough time or space for everything.  So I've decided to start an Outreach Blog.  I'd love to include as many people that want would like to be included, so please share with your friends.  Also, I'd love your input on our current Outreach programs along with ideas for new programs or activities.  I feel like there is always room for growth in this area.  Thanks for all of your support.  I am continuously amazed at how much the people at St. Matt's can accomplish.  I can always be reached on my phone at 703-304-2305 or my email at Abbrennan2@gmail.com.

Warmly,
Annette Brennan
