Small Group Ministries
St. Matthew has a growing number of opportunities for fellowship, sharing, and support. Please contact Pastor Sinibaldo for more details and/or consult the Newsletter for upcoming events
Fellowship Event Team
Like the events listed below? Have some new ideas? This flexible group plans and publicizes the fellowship opportunities for our congregation. You are welcome to help plan one event in particular or stay on as part of the team. We meet on the first Monday, every other month. Contact the Church office for the next meeting time.
Fill A Table For Food and Fellowship
How does it work? These 6, 7, 8 or 9-person dinner parties are held in homes. Sign up by twosomes or as singles. Tables of eight are then randomly assigned into groups. One twosome/single will be host and is responsible for the main dish and beverage. The other twosome/singles will be assigned to bring a vegetable, a salad and rolls, or a dessert. You will be assigned a host and dining companions along with what food item to bring two weeks prior to the event. The host will call the guests to inform them of what the main dish will be. Watch for a sign-up in the Lounge and check your Newsletter. Happy Dining!
