November 2026 Newsletter

November is a season that invites us to pause, reflect, and give thanks for the many blessings God has placed in our lives. At St. Matthias, we see those blessings in the love we share, the prayers we offer, the hands that serve, and the ways we reach beyond our church walls to care for our neighbors. This month, we remember the saints who have gone before us, honor our veterans, and look with gratitude at the many people who make our church family special. We are reminded that we are part of something much bigger than ourselves, a community bound together by God’s love and called to share that love with the world.

November is also an important time in the life of St. Matthias as we continue our annual stewardship campaign. I invite each of you to prayerfully consider making a financial Estimate of Giving for the coming year. Your Estimate of Giving helps us plan for the year ahead, care for our church buildings, support our ministries, and continue serving our neighbors throughout Devine and Medina County. Every offering matters, regardless of its size, because each one represents a commitment to the mission God has entrusted to us. Stewardship isn’t simply about paying the bills; it’s about giving thanks to God by sharing the blessings we have received. Please take time to pray about what you can give, complete your Estimate of Giving card, and join us in building a strong future for St. Matthias. As we approach Thanksgiving, may our gratitude move us beyond words and into action, so that together we may continue to be a blessing to our community.
