Due to COVID-19, all in-person programming for children requires us to be masked (not required for ages 2 and under) and socially distanced.
For those worshipping from home, we continue to offer programming online over Zoom.
See the calendar at the bottom of this page for complete information of offerings.
Our New Lending Library for Children
Did you know that your children can check out books at Saint Matthew's? Well, they can! We have created a fun lending library for children in the Room 9 classroom. We have a great assortment of children's Bibles, spiritual based books, as well as books about nature, animals, positive role models, and positive values. We are accepting donations of gently used books, and plan to add some new books to our collection as well.
A Room to Roam
Due to the pandemic, we are currently unable to offer nursery services. We are thrilled to see some families with children returning to in-person services, and are making the adjoining Rooms 9 (library/classroom), and 10 (nursery) available as a space for parents to take children, should they have difficulty sitting through the service. We ask that parents supervise their children at all times, and also take measures to observe CDC COVID-19 safety recommendations for masking and social distancing.
We are pleased to announce that live streaming from the 11 a.m. service will also be available in these rooms so that parents don't miss out.

Vacation Bible School for Summer 2021
June 7th - 11th
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a wonderful annual program at Saint Matthew's. Our program teaches children about Jesus' love with fun activities, games, and songs. Our youth help out with many other volunteers to create a week of fun and friendship.
This year, we will hold VBS in-person on June 7th-11th, from 9:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. Children and helpers will wear masks at all times and will encourage social distancing.
Registration has begun. Please e-mail Amy Trias at amy@saintmatthewschurch.org to register your children or to volunteer.
