During the weeks of July 12, 2026, and September 13, 2026, St. Matthew in partnership with Bethesda on the Bay Lutheran Church will travel to Carter County Tennessee to provide disaster recovery assistance. We will drive to Tennessee on Sunday and return on Friday. Plans are close to being finalized for the two teams that will be serving in Carter County.
Last year the St. Matthew congregation was extremely generous supporting the trip. We were and are all very thankful. For those unable to join us this year, you can pray for the team, provide food donations for the trip, or support with a monetary gift. Also, if applicable, please consider designating a Thrivent Grant for this ministry.
Galatians 6:10 “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all men, and especially to those who are the household of faith.”

THANK YOU, RACHEL!
July 10th Akron Rubber Ducks Game -
Everyone who signed up for the Rubber Ducks game will receive an e-mail from Ellen Jakovcic (ejakovc1@gmail.com) containing the on-line link to be used for purchasing your tickets. Please contact Ellen at the above e-mail address or at 216/543-5380 if you have any questions, or if you've not already signed up and still want to go to the game.
We are looking for individuals who would be willing to serve on the Nominating Committee. This committee plays an important role in helping identify and recommend candidates for positions on the Congregation Council, as positions will be up for re-election at the end of the year. If you are interested in helping seek out and encourage potential leaders within our church family, we would love to have you be a part of this process. This is a one-year commitment only.
Please reach out to any member of Congregation Council, Deacon Lindsay, or Pastor Steve if you feel called to serve or would like more information.
Thank you for considering this opportunity to support and strengthen our congregation!
Bible and Brews is on a break until Fall.
