An Important Message from St Matthew's Westminster
The Church, like every institution, has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic in ways that just a year ago would have been unthinkable. Currently, we cannot meet together for worship: unable to break bread together, unable to sing. Despite the restrictions, the clergy and staff at St Matthew’s continue the rhythm of the Daily Offices, holding our extended community in our prayer. The Sunday Mass, the focus and pinnacle of our worship, continues to be celebrated and is livestreamed on both Facebook and our website creating a virtual congregation that has a surprisingly wide reach.
All churches have suffered a fall in income as a result of the pandemic, St Matthew’s more than many others because we are so reliant on the income of our Conference Centre. With the church doors sadly closed for so long, we have lost most of our regular income. We hope very much that on the other side of the crisis our life will return to a more recognisable pattern, but for now we are struggling.
If we are to survive this challenging environment and continue our uniquely distinctive, inclusive Anglican Catholic life and worship, we must ask for your help.
Any contribution, however small, will be of significant help. If you are in a position to offer a contribution to help sustain St Matthew’s.
Thank you so much for your generosity. Any and every contribution makes a real difference.
With our gratitude, love and prayers,
The Clergy and Pastoral Assistant at St Matthew’s Westminster

Lent Resources
|
Each week in Lent we will be sending out resources to help guide us on our journey. The resources include a bible reading and prayer for each day and there are short offices of morning and evening prayer.
You can download a copy of the resources by clicking the image above or from our website. If you would like to receive a copy of the resources each week, please let Daniel in the Parish Office know by emailing: daniel@stmw.org. Equally, if you know someone who would like to receive the resources but is unable to access the internet, don't hesitate to let Daniel know and he will arrange for a hardcopy to be sent to them. Even though we are physically apart, this is a journey we share. May Lent be a time of blessing for us all. |
