Third Sunday in Lent
Almighty God, you know that we have no power in ourselves to help ourselves: Keep us both outwardly in our bodies and inwardly in our souls, that we may be defended from all adversities which may happen to the body, and from all evil thoughts which may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Welcome to the website of Saint Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Sunbury, PA.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
All are welcome to be with us in the Sunday liturgy.
All who are baptized are invited to join with us at the altar rail and receive
the consecrated bread and wine.
Anyone and everyone may come with and among us to the altar rail to receive a blessing from our priest, through whom flows the love of God and the love of our community.
As is our yearly custom for many years now, we will be making an assortment of easter eggs and chocolate covered pretzels this Easter season.
