Small Talk Supper

No agenda. No pressure. Come as you are.

Tuesday, April 7th, 5:30-7pm in Dobstaff Fellowship Hall.

You’re invited to a once-a-month neighborhood gathering - just a shared meal, good conversation, and a chance to get to know our community. St. Matthew provides a main dish, and you can bring a snack or side, or bring nothing at all. A kids’ corner, with supervision, is available.

Post-Easter Discussion Group

Sunday, April 12th, 19th, and 26th at 10:45am

Join Pastor Emeritus Rev. Dr. John Rodgers and Pastor Erin after church in the Meeting Room.

This is a three-week learning and discussion space for imagining how we can understand and resist Christian nationalism. We will focus on the book "The Flag + The Cross" by Philip Gorski. We will define what it is, unpack its important history, and discuss what the future might hold for our church and our community.
