Thank you to everyone who helped make Bring a Friend to Church Sunday such a joyful day. From welcoming guests to sharing fellowship around the table, you helped create a space where people could experience the love of Christ and the warmth of our church family.

This was also a week of celebration. We give thanks for Mary’s commissioning at Annual Conference and for the many people who helped lead worship, share their musical gifts, prepare food, and create opportunities for fellowship. Each person helped make this week a meaningful reminder of God’s faithfulness and grace.

As I reflect on the week, I am simply thankful. Thankful for the people who invite friends, prepare meals, share their talents, lend a hand when needed, and make room for others. Those acts may seem small on their own, but together they help make Saint Matthew the welcoming and caring church family we know and love.
