St. Matthew's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Welland, Ontario, Canada

This week’s worship video (14th Sunday After Pentecost – September 11) will not be published until midweek. Sorry for the delay.

Remember to bring your spare coins, that you’ve been saving over the summer, to this Sunday’s service. This is an excerpt from the June 12th worship guide explaining the proposed and adapted program, which started that Sunday and ends this weekend.

“We all could save up loose change we find beginning now and wrapping up Labour Day Weekend. We’d count up how much we all collected and then convert the coin to a cheque or cash and present it to agencies that provide school lunches for kids (Port Cares in Port Colborne, and Diamond Trail School in Welland).

I would give ‘for keeps’ pottery pieces as collection dishes/jars for anyone who would want one.” – Pastor Bart

Tonight’s “Worship on the Lawn” service is CANCELLED, due to the weather.

We are unable to say right now if our service will go ahead this evening, due to the unpredictability of a slow moving weather system from the west. It appears it may bypass us completely, but that won’t be known until at least 5pm. Stay tuned.

There will be NO morning worship at St. Matthew’s this Sunday, but First Lutheran will be holding a “Service of the Word” worship at 9:30 am in Pt. Colborne.

In place of our morning service, our second “Worship on the Lawn” evening service will be held at 6:30 pm – weather permitting.

An announcement will be made at 4 pm, Sunday afternoon, on this website, whether the service will be held as scheduled.

Also, a pre-recorded “ELCIC Summer Series” video will be posted at 7 am this Sunday, instead of our usual Sunday service video.
