Celebrate National Smile Day on May 31st!

St Matthew’s outreach is hoping to create smiles on children in communities in Central America, Africa, or the Philippines by collecting donations for Operation Smile.

Just $250 provides life altering surgery for a child born with cleft lip and palate.

This Sunday we will greet you with a smile! Consider donating & helping to create that new smile for a child & their parents.
Even better, your gift can multiply 7x in impact to help provide free surgeries and comprehensive care.

You can also give online at Stmattspennington.org and select “Operation Smile” as your designation.

This Sunday we celebrated Pentecost, the feast day marking the official birth of the Church.
St. Matthew’s was thrilled to welcome the Very Reverend René John as our preacher and celebrant. Beautiful red attire dotted the pews- spreading the good news of Jesus Christ.

Hark! For in myriad tongues Christ’s own, his chosen apostles, preach to the ends of the earth Christ and his wonderful works.
