Come Worship With Us!
St. Matthew's began its first live-streaming service on Sunday, May 17, 2020, and we continue to provide that means of attending services. Here is the link to our Facebook page.

August 21, 2020 Update: We continue to provide a 10:30AM Sunday Service allowing up to ten (10) people into the building. Face coverings and social distancing (at least 6 feet) are required.
We understand that there may be different opinions as to whether we should or should not be open. St. Matthew's is following the guidance of our Bishop, CATO, and legal council, as well as the Governor's office.

As of Sunday, July 5, 2020, we have opened up the church building to up to ten (10) people.
The Diocese of the Rio Grande (DRG) Phase I for opening up the building with five worked well. The Bishop's Committee worked hard on the Phase II workbook required by the DRG and was approved to open up to 34 people. For two Sundays at Phase II, attendance was still low, but it allowed us a time to practice what to do when more people are present. But now, with the numbers in Valencia County on the rise, the Bishop has asked us to scale back. What the Vicar has decided is a compromise: We will allow up to 10 people, continue with a shortened service, positive air flow, social distancing, face coverings required, and a continue the disinfecting protocol.
We will get the Bulletin out via email prior to the service.
Please email karen@mundy.com if you have questions or if you are not on our St. Matthew's email distribution list and would like to be notified when videos are made available.
Fr. Robert is also recording the services on his phone, separate from Facebook, in order to upload on to his YouTube page. An email will be sent out when that becomes available.
