It’s Spring, and summer is coming. Our beautiful gardens are coming back to life, and to keep them beautiful and thriving through the year it takes WATER. Our St. Matt’s Garden Guild needs Garden Angels to help with that task over the next few months to care for them. Can you spare 30 min or so on a regular basis to help? There will be a signup sheet on the Building and Grounds bulletin board in the main hallway. Pick an area you can help care for and do the watering on your schedule. Contact Janis Williams for more information. It takes a village, and as we know, It’s the People!

Update March 2: Breakfast between services is a Saint Matthew’s tradition! Our capital campaign committee members will be sponsoring breakfast on Sunday, March 16^th with all breakfast donations going directly to the capital campaign fund. With St. Patrick’s Day around the corner, we hope to see you all there, and bring a friend to come enjoy breakfast shenanigans. We will have capital committee team members available to answer any questions about our ongoing Capital Campaign. As of this posting, we have collected $267K in pledges.

Breakfast is served buffet style and starts at 9:00AM with food served until around 10:00AM. Join us in the parish hall, we hope to see you there!

Update February 14: Just a reminder from the Capital Campaign Committee that if you haven’t already done so, please consider making a pledge or a cash contribution to the Capital Campaign. To date, we have raised over $240,000 in pledges and cash donations. As we discussed at the Annual Meeting, this is a parish wide endeavor and we desperately need your support to Renew, Refresh and Restore our church home and bring it back to its functional, safe and beautiful state that we all love. You can donate by filling out a pledge card with a cash donation or a pledge that can be done over one, two, or three years. Any donation that you feel comfortable with is greatly needed. Contact any member of the committee, Jack Denton or Scott Fisher to make your pledge.

Update February 7: Work has already begun on one of the most critical projects: restoration of the framing around the stained-glass windows.

“In addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a
treasure of my own of gold and silver, and because of my devotion to
the house of my God I give it to the house of my God.”

Our Capital Campaign Defined: Our capital campaign is a focused
fundraising drive to raise money to fund identified projects in our church
that fall outside of the normal day-to-day upkeep and expenses within a set
amount of time.

Why do we need a capital campaign? Through a qualified assessment
agent, the Vestry has assessed and identified capital needs for the
immediate future. These projects fall outside of the normal day-to-day
building and grounds or other ministry funds.

If we achieve the campaign goal, will all future capital replacement needs
be met? Undoubtedly other unanticipated needs will arise. However, the
Capital Committee will continue to establish other methods of producing
income for future needed renovations of our facility. These auxiliary
fundraising efforts will improve our Capital Reserve and better address
these needs moving forward.

Need more information? Reach out via email to “email address here” and a
capital committee representative will get back with you.
