St. Matthew's Episcopal Church
A progressive, inclusive, community-oriented congregation dedicated to sharing Christ’s radical love with everyone.
Guest Ministers/Authors/Married Couple to Preach Dec. 7, 10:30 am Service
St. Matt's will welcome the authors of the book On Love, 20 Lessons for the World We Seek, which has been the focus of our Sunday Conversations lead by Lindsay Smith after the 10:30 am services these past few weeks. Paul and Janet Chilcote were active at the Church of the Messiah in Westerville for several years, where Lindsay directed the choir. Both are ordained pastors in the United Methodist Church, and both are known internationally for their unique ministries; Janet for her Zoe ministry for orphan children in Africa (she can’t wait to meet Mother Abby) and Paul for his scholarship and leadership on the life and work of John Wesley. He is a fellow in the Wesley Foundation at Oxford University.
Stay for Soup and Sandwiches After the Service
We will have a light lunch in the chapel immediately following church. Janet and Paul will talk about the genesis for their book, and our Sunday Conversations group will have some insights to share on their takeaway from the lively discussions their book inspired.
