2025 Summer Service Week

Summer service weeks have been a tradition at St. Matthew since 2000. 

The last several years we have used a parish-based model, working in the local community with various service agencies.  Serving others is an important component of living our faith, of Living the Eucharist. Our work days incorporate prayer and reflection on the faith-based reasons we give of ourselves in this way.

While we are still working on the details, the week will include serving at local pantries and shelters as well as inter-cultural experiences. Participants’ days will begin at 8:30 and last till about 4 pm.  The week will culminate in helping with prep and set up for the local Juneteenth celebration on Saturday, June 14.

Our service week includes both middle school and high school students. Students should be entering 7^th grade or older.  We will also need Virtus certified adults willing to be part of our team. Registration fee is $50 for the week.

Please contact Mike Westenberg or Kat Meyer with questions about the week.Registration is limited.  Forms available through the parish office or online www.stmattsgb.org
