Sunday, November 29 - Gruman Hall: Intergenerational Advent Calendar Project 

Join us for a special intergenerational gathering as we prepare our hearts and homes for the season of Advent! 

There will be no regular Sunday School classes for children or Jr. and Sr. High EYC. Instead, families of all ages are invited to come together for a fun and meaningful Advent Calendar Project filled with fellowship, creativity, and anticipation for the birth of Christ. 

Advent Calendar Kits 

$20 per family kit 

One kit per family. 

Kits must be preordered and paid for by Sunday, November 8. 

No extra kits will be available on the day of the event. 

Want to share the joy? You may also sponsor a $20 kit for another family to enjoy this special Advent activity. 

Please be sure to reserve and pay for your family's kit by the deadline so we can prepare supplies for everyone! 

We look forward to sharing this special time of fellowship and Advent preparation with you!

We’re looking for children and youth to help bring the Christmas story to life, as well as adult and youth volunteers to help behind the scenes. Whether on stage or behind the scenes, there’s a place for everyone to be part of this special St. Matthew’s tradition! 

At St. Matthew’s, we are blessed to grow in faith, build relationships, and learn together. Our Christian Formation Amazon Wishlists make it easy to support the supplies and resources that help our ministries thrive.
