Reflection
“He said to another man, ‘Follow me.’”
Each of us is called to ‘follow Jesus,’ we know.
But the question is how should I do it?
This Gospel gives us an answer
that is simple and certain:
Follow Jesus–the brave, the truthful, the loving–
in everything, at all times, all your life.

Ministers
together with a "beginner’s mind," open to exploring

and through one another. Peace be with you.
Both Wine and Grape Juice for Communion
At Saint Matthew Church, we believe that all who are drawn to the
Table of the Lord should be welcomed and fed abundantly. For this
reason, we will consecrate both wine and grape juice at our liturgies.
You are welcome to receive in the species that makes you most
comfortable while remembering that receiving the Body of Christ in
any portion is reception in full. You may receive the consecrated wine
by either intinction (dipping the host) or by drinking from the chalice.
You may receive the consecrated grape juice only by intinction. Please
do not drink from the cup of grape juice.

SHARING SUNDAY: Once a month, from 5:30-7:00 p.m., we take
a home-cooked meal along with love and joy to share with the
residents of EMMANUEL HOUSE, a transitional residential home
in Santa Ana for men and women living with HIV/AIDS. Please
contact Liz Wessel, (714) 538-0170, tizmzliz55@att.net, for
additional information. Our next Sharing Sunday is TONIGHT.
PHOENIX FAMILIES: We sponsor abused/neglected children and
needy families in the Orange County area by providing canned/dry
foods, diapers, and hygiene products (soap, shampoo, etc.) to
Family Support Network. All donated items go directly to help
families that are making positive changes in their lives and the
lives of their children. We encourage everyone to participate by
bringing any number of the above-mentioned donated items to
church on Sunday, presented during the giving of our tithes and
offerings. For more information, please contact Daniel
Whitehurst, (714) 697-6065.
INTERFAITH SHELTER NETWORK: This organization provides
temporary shelter for the poor of Orange County. Volunteers are
needed to prepare meals and be chaperones. They are also in
need of twin size sheets and blankets. For more information,
please see or contact Fr. Tony or Kate Bomkamp,
tbomkamp@adelphia.net.
POP TABS from canned drinks are collected and given to
Children’s Hospital of Orange County who will turn them into $$
and donate the amount to the Orange County Ronald McDonald
House.
