Dedication Anniversary — 100 Years
This coming weekend, September 28 and 29, we continue our series with a focus on the first of our five core values; Celebrating together in worship. This includes our celebration of the 100-year anniversary of the Dedication of our present church building. We give God Glory for the generosity of the St. Matthew people who gave of their time, talents and treasure to make it possible to be in such an awe-inspiring space for worship.
This 100-year anniversary helps us recognize the legacy of generosity of our past and the importance of building a culture of generosity now as we lean into the future with hope. We are grateful to the Generosity Ministry Team for leading us to explore how our generosity is central to our mission. We look forward to seeing you this weekend for our Dedication Anniversary Celebration. Be sure to check out the display case in the main hallway of our church. It’s an inspiring walk down memory lane.
