A Journey Through Luke’s Gospel This Advent Season
Each Advent includes the beginning of a year’s exploration of one of the Gospels. This year we journey through Luke’s Gospel. We are offering a brief introduction, in slideshow form, into Luke’s “take” on the Good News of Jesus.
Each Gospel has its own style and unique features—hardly a “you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all” sort of experience! As this year unfolds and we traverse Luke’s telling of the Good News, we hope this bit of background enriches both your understanding of the Gospel and your own faith response to it.

Sneak Preview of This Sunday’s Worship Service
On Christ the King Sunday, it has been a St. Matthew’s tradition to hold a Chili Luncheon after the service. The luncheon was generously hosted by the Speck family and free door prizes were given away at its conclusion. The event was held to “…celebrate all the opportunities and all the places that God has given us to be a church in mission for others throughout the past year”.
Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, our last one was held in 2019. Similarily, there will not be one held this year either because of the public health restrictions.
Although we cannot celebrate with a luncheon again this year, it does not mean we can’t still acknowledge the same opportunites and accomplishments we have experienced in the last church year. (Hint – If you are in church this Sunday, you will know what I mean.)
On a side note, to help remind us of all those great chili luncheons we once enjoyed (we also pray for their return in the near future), I’ve added this short 2013 chili luncheon photo slideshow for your viewing.
