Ascension: We Have the Load – St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church

Today is a holy day of obligation, Feast of the Ascension. Be sure to check out Father Clark's homily on the website. https://www.stmatthews-sandsprings.org/ascension-we-have-the-load/

stmatthews-sandsprings.org Ascension Day marks an end to the resurrection visions described in the Bible. It is a holy day often overlooked and well worth our engaging. On this occasion the reading has Jesus taking his inner circle out to Bethany. Now Bethany, as you may recall, is just outside the walls of Jerusalem, the hom...

[03/29/20]   In response to the coronavirus pandemic, sacramental Communion is no longer available to the Faithful within the Diocese of Oklahoma. Our Bishop has called for each of us to make a Spiritual Communion instead, even as we will continue with prayer, Bible reading, study, and personal devotions .. This is the Prayer for Spiritual Communion:

My Jesus,
I believe hat You
are presented in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to received You into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment
receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You
as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.

[03/16/20]   The remaining four Lenten programs in Sand Springs are cancelled: First Presbyterian (17 March), Saint Andrew Lutheran (24 March), Saint Patrick's Roman (31 March), Saint Matthew's (07 April)

[03/13/20]   The Bishop has closed all the churches of our diocese, effective immediately and through the Last Sunday of Lent. So unless this order is later modified, we will next gather for worship on Maundy Thursday.
All services and activities at Saint Matthew's are cancelled until 09 April. We’ll keep you posted of any change.

Our Vicar and Senior Warden are multi-talented!!

Another great party this year.
