We are grateful for you, St. Matthew’s parishioners, for sharing your monetary gifts to help others; we are grateful to the St. Matthew’s Vestry for their endorsement of the Outreach Commission recommended allocations; we are grateful to the recipient organizations for being in the world doing the work Christ calls us to do: feeding the hungry, giving drink to the thirsty, providing shelter for those in need, welcoming the stranger, clothing the naked, visiting and comforting the sick, and visiting those in prison. We give thanks for all the organizations that applied and for the impactful work each one is doing. We also invite parishioners to support these ministries not only through funding, but through prayer, volunteerism, and ongoing engagement. Thank you for your continued generosity and commitment to outreach. Submitted by Outreach Commission
