St. Matthew's Sunday Service

All are welcome to attend this Sunday's 9:00 a.m. service, led by Rev. Lynda Whitwell.

​The Rich Man and Lazarus
This is the only parable where a character is named (Lazarus), but that’s part of the point. Lazarus, meaning “God is help,” shows that God is on the side of the poor. It’s the poor man who is remembered by his name, but the rich man’s name is forgotten.

Almighty God,
you alone are our true judge,
for you know what we are,
you know what we should be,
and with you there is mercy.
Give us feeling for what is right;
set us on fire to see that right is done.
Hear this prayer for your love’s sake.
Amen.
