Christmas Gifts for Riverbend Inmates

Once again, St. Matthew will be collecting selected gifts for the inmates at Riverbend Maximum Security Institute. The men were very appreciative of all the gifts we gave them last year. Riverbend is requesting that we collect toothpaste and toothbrushes (any brand) and first class postage stamps. There is a marked bin in the church kitchen. If you would like to help deliver these gifts on Dec. 16, contact Mary Ann Dunn at 550-5101 or madunn@churchofstmatthew.org.

Ryman Concert Benefits Room In The Inn

For many years, St. Matthew parish has actively supported Room in the Inn, hosting homeless men during the winter months with shelter, clothing, food and friendship.

We are looking to gather a group to attend from St. Matthew parish. To reserve a ticket, please call Margaret Cook at the church office, 550-5137.
