Save the Date: on Wednesday, January 22 from 5:00-7:00pm, we'll have our next Prayer Vigil at church. From 5:00-6:00pm, the church will be open for quiet, personal prayer time. Beginning at 6:00pm, we will have a time of sharing various prayer needs with one another and lifting up those prayers to the Lord. Then, we'll close the evening with a structured prayer service with Scripture readings and hymns. Please join us to pray for your needs, for our congregation, for our country, and for one another.

New Wednesday Bible Study - join us in the church fellowship hall each Wednesday at 10:00am for a new study: "66 Books." This study will be an overview of each book of the Bible, beginning with Genesis on Wednesday, January 15, 2025.

New Sunday Bible Study - join us in the church sanctuary each Sunday at 9:00am as we read and discuss the Gospel of John, and later, John's other writings in the New Testament. This study will begin on Sunday, February 2, 2025. 

We will have our regular 10am service on Sunday, January 12. Temperatures should be above freezing by that point and the main roads are in good condition around Conway. However, please use your best judgment in determining if it's safe for you to attend. We will not have Sunday School or Bible Study on January 12, as temperatures may still be below freezing earlier in the morning. If you're unable to join us for tomorrow's service, we look forward to seeing you next Sunday.

All St. Matthew youth are invited to a game night at St. Matthew on Friday, January 17 from 6:00-8:00pm. Youth from Peace Lutheran Church will be joining us. A taco bar and fixings will be provided. Please bring a snack to share and a favorite game or two to play. Friends are welcome too!
