Church cancelled January 20

It's official now. Church is cancelled for Sunday, January 20, due to extreme weather conditions.

Parish Meeting January 20

The annual Parish Meeting will take place on Sunday, January 20, after morning worship, and followed by coffee hour.

A major piece of business is electing new Vestry members. Two members, Erin Fuller and Sister Nadine, are rotating off Vestry, and we need to replace Mike McKinley. The nominees are Allan Andersen, Dawn Peters, and Sister Rachel.

Not getting our emails?

Some of our parishioners report that they are not getting parish announcement emails. The problem could be that we simply do not have your address.

Or the problem could be that you are still using AOL email. (AOL is famous for just shutting down from time to time. When that happens, the sender doesn't get a notice that the message "bounced," and the recipient doesn't see anything except that the inbox is mysteriously empty.)

Another possibility is that your email program might be set to reject anything sent to more than one person as "spam."

I suggest:

1. Look in your "spam" folder to see if our messages are landing there. It might be somewhat hidden.
2. If you have an AOL account, I strongly suggest you get an additional account from a more reliable server. Gmail (from Google) works well and it's free.
3. Go to the bottom of the column on your right, and click the link to send a message to the St. Matthew's webmaster, asking to be added to our email list. (If you change email servers, we will not know until you tell us!)

E-mail

A great deal of information goes out to the parish through email. If you are not receiving these email messages or if you would like to change your email information, please send a note to the webmaster at st.matthew.ashland@gmail.com

New Pictures for Bulletin Board

The pictures on the church bulletin board are now quite old, so it's time for an update. Beginning Sunday, January 24, we will be taking pictures, so remember what your mama used to say before class pictures, and show up with your hair combed and your face washed.
