It’s important!

It will be more fun than anything you can find on TV. And we need—yes, I said need—you. Our great singers work so hard on these concerts. Their effort must be rewarded with people who care enough to come.

And you deserve to be here! You deserve to have a little fun. And an uplift in your spirits.

If you have not heard our “star” singers do their Broadway thing, you just don’t know how good they are. We are privileged to have this kind of music at St. Matthew.

So, put aside all else and come this Saturday, Aug. 30, at 6:00 for the big show: “A Night on Broadway.” Supper after. (Some of you are bringing desserts.)

Please!—give our great singers a great audience to sing for. Make this a wonderful evening. It is all free. But it is a fundraiser for Eastside Ministries. An offering will be taken. There are families depending on us for help. We give that help this Saturday. At 6:00.

Watching Online

Wow! The picture is beautiful and the new camera angles enrich the experience. And we will conquer that sound problem. (Way too low.) Our guys will soon have it licked. Chuy and the crew from 4Stage will finish all work this Friday. There is one more pew to go in (at the back—don’t fight over it) and a device that will allow us to have all of the microphones up front that we want. It will take 16—more than we will ever need. But right now, we can’t even do four mics for a quartet. And for the ones we do have, 100-ft. cables run over carpet through one transept, covered in tape. Jerry-rigged. Tell Jerry he is out of business. We’re doing it right.

My Class

We are looking at how our study of experience has changed our belief system. Truth is, the study of the experience of God gives us a new understanding of who we are as humans—and a new understanding of our relationship to God. It brings us more in line with the teachings of Jesus—but less in line with the teachings of most churches. Get in on the discussion. You are welcome to this class. At 9:45—followed by breakfast.

Breakfast this Sunday

It’s a “we-bring” Sunday. (Great breakfast last week.) Help, if you can. At 10:30.

This Sunday

My sermon: The Shocking Story of the Woman at the Well. She’s got the bucket. But He’s got the water. Come, let us be uplifted, encouraged, through worship and thanksgiving.

Love to our folk who have been ill or had surgery lately. We look for the day when you can return.

God Bless—MB

Hey! Do whatever you need to do to REMEMBER the concert Saturday night. Tie a string around your refrigerator—or stick your chewing gum in a new spot on the bedpost. But remember! And come!
