I pray everyone will have a blessed Lenten season. We will have a pancake breakfast after the service on March 1st. Meg and I attended the DWTX Council 2020 in Corpus Christi. The theme for this year is “with the eyes of our hearts enlightened.” It was such a wonderful experience meeting everyone from throughout the Diocese. It was like a big family reunion. Meg attended two workshops and I helped lead two Military Ministry workshops. We have lots of information at the church to share with everyone. We had a fun POSM family event last month. Meg had painted a large tree on one of the Parish Hall walls and we had everyone paint the palms of their hands and place them on the tree.

I want to thank everyone for your prayers while I was taking the General Ordination Exams. I felt the Holy Spirit with me as I took each exam. Thank you. I pray everyone is having a blessed Epiphany season. We had a great annual meeting. We shared a pot luck, reviewed all of our accomplishments for the past year, shared our plans for this year and voted on a 2020 budget. We are having our monthly POSM family event on Sunday, February 9th after the service. We will have a family craft with the theme of “Love”. We made several deliveries to the Hospice Thrift Store, Women’s Shelter, Food Pantry and HANK (Helping Abused and Neglected Kids). Thank you everyone who donated items.

I pray everyone is having a blessed Christmas season. We had a wonderful Consecration Sunday service that capped off our annual stewardship campaign with lunch afterwards. Thank you everyone who pledge to support St. Matthias. Instead of our monthly POSM family event on the 3rd Sunday, we will have our annual meeting and pot luck lunch January 19th. We enjoyed our beautiful new advent wreath that sits on the Paschal Candle stand. We purchased it with the donation from Rev. Wayne Bower’s previous church, St. John’s in New Jersey. We had a great Christmas Eve service with Rev. Eric Fenton.
