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.

Valencia County is now Turquoise and our Workbook III has been approved by the Diocese of the Rio Grande! What does this mean?
We are in Phase III for holding church services. That means that we can now allow more of our congregation back into the building, which for us means approximately 60 people (including the priest, the pianist, video staff and altar guild).
Wafer and wine will be distributed in individually wrapped mini-cups. The wrapped cups will be blessed at the Altar and Fr. Robert will distribute them after they are blessed. You must hold on to the wrapper and cup and either take it home with you, or deposit it in the trash can that will be available by the door as you exit the building.
All of the current safety guidelines must still be adhered to including:
We want to keep Valencia county in the “turquoise” and if we all adhere to the guidelines, hopefully we will be permitted to go maskless!
You know that not all of our congregants have email, so if you can, please reach out to those whom you know that don’t by phone, to let them know about the Good News!
St. Matthew's is following the guidance of our Bishop, CATO, and legal council, as well as the Governor's office.

All of the current safety guidelines must still be adhered to including:
- Masks (covering your nose and mouth) are required.
- Minimum 6 feet social distancing from people not living in your same household.
- No gathering in groups when entering or exiting the building. Fr. Robert will be outside of the church after the service should you wish to speak to him.
- Attendance will be taken at the door, so please maintain safe distance while waiting outside of the church until you can be let in.
- Windows and doors will be open, so if the weather is chilly (or windy) be sure to wear warm clothes.
