Pizzeria Piccola Fundraiser a success thanks to you!
A huge thank you to all of you who ate at or ordered from Pizzeria Piccola during the May 16 fundraiser for the Blue Ridge Mountain Mission Trip. Your sup­port was so great that for much of the evening, a line stretched out the door! While the wait might have been frustrating, it was a testimony to the amazing support that you as a congregation consistently offer us, and we appreciate you for it! Thank you for making our trips possible through your participation in our various fundraisers.

Photos mission trip dinner-auction

Gone with the Wind St. Matt’s Style was the theme of the dinner auction held Feb. 12 to benefit the Summer mission trip to North Carolina.

Our annual dinner auction was an experience of southern hospitality right out of the pages of Gone with the Wind. It was not exactly Twelve Oaks, Ashley Wilkes’s plantation, but the food and hospitality that was just as genuine as that experienced by the likes of Scarlett O’Hara and Rhett Butler. There was entertainment, too. Scarlett and Rhett even made an appearance!

Bidding on auction items took place prior to dinner, featuring southern favorites. Auction items donated by the congregation and friends were much appreciated!
