Deanery Stewardship Event
Saturday, August 22 @ St. Matthew's at 10:00 a.m.

As a follow up to the stewardship events that took place in June, the Deanery of Essex is hosting its own stewardship event, which will take place at St. Matthew's on Saturday, August 22, tentatively from 10:00am - 3:00pm. Lunch will be provided and a free-will offering will be collected. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m., and a continental breakfast will be provided for all participants

At this event we will: talk about abundance versus scarcity; look at a template for a year of stewardship in the parish; and have an opportunity to discuss in parish groups what an ongoing practice of stewardship might look like in your own local context.

Everyone from the deanery is invited to attend, and it is strongly encouraged that every parish sends a small group (and especially those who will be working on stewardship) so that you can discuss how engaging in meaningful stewardship in your parish might look going forward. This will assist you and your community to fulfill Bishop Todd's request to send him an update before Synod about what your parish is doing in regards to stewardship.

Please RSVP by emailing the Rev. Ryan Boivin by Wednesday, August 19 with how many people from your parish will attending the event so that we can plan for food.

Friends of St. Matthew’s,

A gentle reminder that tomorrow is the final day to bring your donations for the Canterbury College UWindsor Welcome Baskets. Let’s be generous once again as we help incoming students feel at home and supported. Items like dish soap, hand soap, paper towels, Kleenex, Lysol wipes, sponges, and laundry detergent are still very much appreciated.

And while we’re thinking ahead — don’t forget that this Sunday is our Corn Boil following the 10 o’clock service. Fresh local corn, classic butter-and-salt, and even a herb butter option await us. It will be a joyful time of fellowship and summer goodness.

Thank you for your kindness, your generosity, and the spirit you bring to our parish family.

Emancipation Sunday reminds us that our God is a God of justice, liberation, and restoration. By marking this day, we align ourselves with God’s vision of a reconciled world—one where we do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8).

We invite everyone to join us tomorrow at St. Matthew's for our 10 a.m. service as we remember, celebrate, and pray together.

A heartfelt thank‑you to the Emancipation Sunday Task Group and especially to Rev’d Tianna Gocan for your dedication and the wonderful resources you’ve prepared. Your work helps us honour this day with depth, care, and hope.

Blessings to you and yours,
Rev. Gilles +

Message of Support and Sympathy
On behalf of St. Matthew’s Anglican Church, Windsor

We at St. Matthew’s Anglican Church join the Ontario Provincial Police and communities across our province in mourning the tragic loss of Constable Tarun Bali, who died today in the line of duty.

Our hearts are heavy as we hold in prayer his family, friends, colleagues, and every member of the OPP who is grieving this profound loss.

Constable Bali offered his life in service to the safety and well‑being of others — a sacrifice that reflects the highest calling of courage, duty, and love for neighbour.

In moments like this, when words feel small beside such sorrow, we stand with all who mourn, offering our compassion, our solidarity, and our prayers.

Gracious God,
We lift before you the soul of Constable Tarun Bali, giving thanks for his service, his dedication, and the protection he offered to the people of Ontario.
Surround his family with your tender mercy; uphold them with strength for the days ahead.
Comfort his colleagues in the OPP as they grieve the loss of a brother in service.
Grant peace to all whose hearts are broken, and let your light shine in the midst of this darkness.
May your love be a refuge, your presence a healing balm, and your hope a guide through sorrow.
Amen.
