Family Fun Night at Stone Mountain on June 27!

Join St. Matthew’s Parenting Group (aka “The Matt Pack”) for a Family Fun Night at Stone Mountain Park

You’re warmly invited to join us for a fun, relaxed evening of family fellowship at Stone Mountain Park! This is a wonderful opportunity to connect, unwind, and get to know each other better—kids and grown-ups alike.

Where: Stone Mountain Park Laser Show Lawn
Date: Saturday, June 27
Time: Gather anytime after 7:00 PM Laser Show: Begins at 9:30 PM

Stone Mountain Park is offering the laser show free throughout June! There is a $20 per car parking fee (or $40 for an annual parking pass).

Please note: the free offering applies only to the laser show (along with the park’s usual free amenities like hiking trails and open spaces). Attractions within the park are not included, but you’re welcome to enjoy those on your own earlier in the day if your family would like. Learn more about the park here: https://stonemountainpark.com/

We’ll meet on the laser show lawn anytime after 7:00 PM—just behind and to the left side of the laser show booth if you are looking at the carving.  Look for a white pop up tent.

What to bring:

  • Picnic blankets and/or camping chairs
  • Dinner or snacks (bring your own picnic or purchase food at the park)
  • Jammies for the kids (it’s a late night!)

This is a great chance for kids to play and for adults to relax and visit before the show begins. Feel free to invite friends and neighbors—everyone is welcome!

If any St. Matthew’s family could use help covering the parking fee, please reach out. We have a resource available and would be glad to support you.

Questions? Contact Sarah at 678-350-8230.

We hope you can join us for this special night of fun, connection, and fellowship!

Godspell Wrap Up!

What an incredible weekend! Over the course of three performances, we welcomed 290 attendees, including ticket holders, donated admissions, and our dedicated front-of-house volunteers.

A special thank you goes to every parishioner who attended the show, shared it with friends, or helped spread the word. Our fellowship efforts for this production were a tremendous success, with positive reviews all around. Our audience included theater fans who traveled from as far away as Orlando, Florida, while others came from Alpharetta and Cumming after discovering us through the show’s script website. We also welcomed community members who have attended previous productions, as well as those who simply drove by, saw our sign, and decided to make it a Friday night date night.

Most importantly, none of this would have been possible without the time, talent, and dedication generously given by so many members of our St. Matthew’s family, including our choir and several newcomers who joined our growing theater program. More than 33 volunteers filled roles in the cast, crew, band, front of house, and countless behind-the-scenes positions that are essential to bringing a production like this to life. To them—and to the families who supported them along the way—we offer a heartfelt THANK YOU for the hundreds of hours spent creating something magical while sharing The Word through the arts.

Funds raised through this event support our Capital Campaign, helping provide the resources our church needs to continue serving future generations and strengthening our ability to give back to the community we serve.

Thank you for helping create something truly special. Hang on tight—we can’t wait to see what’s NEXT!

ECW Retreat at Camp Mikell

What a joyful day we had at Camp Mikell yesterday for the ECW Atlanta Diocese Women’s Retreat!
We enjoyed hiking, crafting, worship, and fellowship with women from across the diocese, while also learning about international ministry opportunities supporting children.
Centered on the women of the Bible and other influential women in history, our theme—Reclaim, Respond, and Rejoice—reminded us to live boldly in faith. We return refreshed, grateful, and rejoicing!
