Virtual Vacation Bible School is posted on our website for any who want a fun way to connect with their kids this month, while also sharing the stories of faith with them.  Visit www.stmattspringfield.org and you will find the information posted there.  As you participate, we would live to see what you are experiencing.  Please share pictures of your VBS activities with Julie Cirillo and she will add them to a collage of our VBS program!

Council Meeting: a reminder for the Council that we will meet Monday evening at 7:00 via Zoom.  Materials will be sent as soon as they are all available.

Midweek Bible Study continues this week on Wednesday at noon.  We will be considering the 3rd Letter of John.  The invitation to the Zoom Study will be sent Wednesday morning.

Midweek Communion will be held on Wednesday evening at 7:00 and Thursday afternoon at 1:30.  Please let me know if you want to come so I can set enough spaces.  We can have up to 25 at each service.  Email me at prkarl@stmattspringfield.org, or call the office number (610) 543-8700.

Continue to practice love for your neighbors by following the 3 Ws: Wash your hands, Wear a mask around others, and Watch your distance.

Even with the rain, “This is the day the Lord has made!  Let us rejoice and be  glad in it!”


Pastor Karl Richard
