Parish Luncheon Will Not be Held in September Saint Matthew September 21, 2016 Our regular First Sunday meal will NOT be held in the month of September. Saint Matthew was one of the original twelve disciples of Jesus. Before Jesus called him he was a tax collector. He is traditionally consid- ered to be the author of the gospel that bears his Holy Cross Day name and to have died a martyr.
September 14, 2016 We thank thee, heavenly Father, for the witness of thine apostle and evangelist Matthew to the Holy Cross Day is a day for recognizing the Gospel of thy Son our Savior; and we pray that, cross as a sign of Christ’s victory and triumph after his example, we may with ready wills and over death and as a reminder that we share in that hearts obey the calling of our Lord to follow him; victory. “And when I am lifted up, I will draw all through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and men unto me.” (John 12:32) reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
