Description

Scripture as a meal for the soul: Psalm 23

This study will begin on Monday, 7 PM, July 6th and run for 15 weeks. Sessions will be only 20-30 minutes in length. There will be a set of handouts posted on Facebook and on the Saint Matthew Bible Study Media page.

Scripture is like a meal, best savored in small bites, and slowly chewed and consumed in order to fully savor its nuances of flavor — stretch your thinking and expand your spirit as you spend time alone or to share with others. We will talk about Psalm 23 phrase by phrase, and provided several translations and interpretations, both from Jewish as well as Christian sources. We will cover just one phrase per week – try it at whatever pace or intensity you think is good.

During in-person church closure due to COVID-19, the clergy is offering Holy Communion (Host only) Sundays 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. for anyone who would like to drive to the Church and receive.

We will be doing it in the parking lot in front of the Gathering Room doors facing Town and Country after the English mass ends. Everyone that chooses to participate must be wearing a mask and stay in their vehicles.

These are unprecedented times, and shut-in seniors need our support now more than ever. Our church is supporting seasoned citizens throughout Orange County. We’re collecting donations for shut ins and especially need the following items:

– toiletries
– socks, including white cotton socks and skidless slipper socks
– slippers
– puzzle books
– underwear
– comfy clothes (pajamas, sweat pants, etc.)
– towel sets
– sheet sets
– adult diapers and bed protective pads
– OCTA bus passes
– grocery and pharmacy gift cards
– Boost, Ensure, and similar dietary supplements

All items must be new. We will be collecting these items along with our usual food drive for nonperishable food, which happens every first and third Sunday of the month.

Please note: Food donations will go to the Western Service Workers food pantry; donations for seniors will go to Orange County’s Senior Santa program.

Thank you for your support!
