St. Matthew is currently collecting canned and dried foods as well as gluten free items for the Bear Pantry at UCA. The Bear Pantry serves both students and staff of the university who need food assistance. A donation box is available in the Fellowship Hall at church.

On Saturday, September 20, Grace Lutheran in Little Rock (5124 Hillcrest St.) will be hosting a FREE EVENT for our LCMS Mid-South District called a "3L Summit" (Living Your Faith, Loving God's People, & Learning to Disciple). This will be held from 8:30am-3:45pm. Lunch will be included for all attendees. St. Matthew members are welcomed and encouraged to participate. For more information and to register, please click here.

St. Matthew families and friends of the congregation are invited to a Family Fun Night on Friday, August 22 from 6:00-8:00 pm. We will have a grill out & picnic. Meat, buns, and condiments will be provided with Thrivent funds. Please bring a snack to share. Bring a game to play if you'd like to hang out indoors. Bring yard games and lawn chairs for outdoors. We'll provide some water activities outdoors. (Bring a bathing suit and towel if you plan on getting wet.) If you have any questions or if you'd like to lend a hand, please contact Pastor Kory or Jake Roper. 

Members of the congregation are invited to stay for a brief meeting in regard to our outreach ministry on Sunday, August 17 following the service. Pastor Janneke will facilitate the meeting but all are welcome to contribute to our discussion. Please bring both your suggestions and ideas as we prayerfully consider outreach opportunities for the coming year!
