“I am very excited about this opportunity for Saint Matthew to serve in Camden alongside our brothers and sisters of Bridge of Peace and Cross Roads. Together we can make a little difference to children who live in a city overrun with violence, drugs and despair. I suspect that all involved will also be touched and shaped by God’s love and hope that we’ll witness in the hearts and lives of our brothers and sisters in Christ who live there.
“In Christ, Pastor Ingrid F. Wengert
