Fellowship & Congregation Care

Good Company, Good Food, Good Times

There is always something happening at Saint Matthew for people who like to gather. Mark your calendar for a night at the theater, a Mediterranean lunch, and a celebration of fifty-plus years of fellowship.

A night out at the theater: The Drowsy Chaperone

We will be attending a performance of The Drowsy Chaperone by the Burlington County Footlighters. It is a sparkling love letter to musical theatre, filled with big laughs, showstopping numbers and irresistible charm. When a diehard musical fan drops the needle on his favorite cast album, the 1920s show springs to life in his living room—complete with glamorous brides, tapdancing groomsmen, over-the-top gangsters and one very tipsy chaperone. This is a Tony winning comedy.

Why all the sign-ups?

Have you noticed the crazy and wonderful number of Sign-Ups in the narthex? We are trying to offer different types of activities at different times to meet the various needs of the congregation. Every other month there should be a sign up for our Lunch Around the World event. If you can’t make it in to sign up, reach out to Karen Widin or Kim Bohley in the office.
