THANK YOU from the members of the Evening Circle. Pictured are some of the many items donated by church members. The amount of school supplies collected for our local school children was AMAZING!
The Outreach Committee thanks everyone for the many donations given for the L.A.C.O. Children’s Christmas Shop. The gift shop, located at the St. Matthew Episcopal Church in Lisbon Falls, is open ahead of the Christmas holiday for children to shop for gifts for their family. They select their gifts, help with wrapping and bring them home to be put under the Christmas tree. Pictured is only a small sampling of the huge amount of wonderful donations given by church members and friends.

Prayer for the week: Creating, loving, healing God, we gather together this day, coming from different places and situations in life. In faith, we fall before you in praise and worship, desiring to be fed with your love and healed with your grace. Fill us with wonder, O God, that we may proclaim your good news for all to hear. Open our ears, our mouths, and our hearts this day. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
