- "Truth in Love Sunday": How would you respond to someone who said, "If God loves everyone so much, how could He send people to hell? And what about good, moral people who've never even heard of Jesus before? Surely He doesn't send them to hell, does He?" This Sunday, May 19 at 9:30 am in the Gym of the Walled Lake Campus, we will be hosting our tenth "Truth in Love Sunday" - an opportunity to both practice and learn more about how we can best respond to questions like these, while at the same time responding in a spirit of deep love and respect for others. "Truth in Love Sunday" will continue to be a monthly feature at St. Matthew in the days to come.
- Altar Flowers are offered with praise and glory to God, in celebration of Ray and Marvelyn Gadowski’s 34th wedding anniversary and in celebration of Jan Roth’s 40th birthday.
