The Season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 22, 2023. We will have a 6:30pm Ash Wednesday service with Holy Communion and the imposition of ashes. Midweek Lenten services will continue at 6:30pm each Wednesday from March 1st-29th. The theme for our Lenten services will be "Lord, Teach Us To Pray." Please make plans to join us in the Lord's house this Lenten season. 

St. Matthew's Sunday schedule will continue to be a half-hour earlier than normal through Sun, March 5, 2023. Bible Study and Sunday School will be at 8:30am and Worship will be at 9:30am.

On Saturday, February 11 from 10:00am - 2:00pm, our District Mission Executive, Rev. Bill Zwick, will be at St. Matthew Lutheran to present a workshop on Christian outreach and witnessing. This will include time for Bible study, discussion, and practical help with sharing your faith. A light lunch will also be served. To help with preparations, an RSVP is requested. Please call 501-358-6252 or email pastor.stmatthewlcmsconway@gmail.com to RSVP.

Please join us for Bible study on Sunday and Wednesday mornings in the Fellowship Hall. Our new Sunday morning topic is the Gospel of Matthew. (Please note - Sunday Bible study is temporarily meeting at 8:30am rather than 9:00am.) Together, we we walk through the Gospel of Matthew, exploring Jesus' words and deeds and considering St. Matthew as the namesake of our congregation.

Our current study for Wednesdays at 10:00am is the New Testament book of Acts. In this study, we will look closely at the activity of the early Church and the influence of the Holy Spirit, while also looking for applications for modernday ministry. We will be using a book to aid our study: God's Word for Today: Acts - The Gospel Throughout the World.

St. Matthew's Sunday schedule will change for approximately two months beginning on Sunday, January 15, 2022. On that date, we will move up our Bible Study and Sunday School time to 8:30am and we will move up our worship time to 9:30am. Beginning on the 15th, Pastor Kory will also be leading a Sunday service at Peace Lutheran at 11:00am. Our normal Sunday schedule should resume by early March.
