I am a new member of St Matthews. I recently lost my husband of many years. We both grew up Catholic though did not know each other in our teens we both left as teenagers. We got married in a Episcopal Church and we said when we had a baby we would join a Episcopal church and we joined St Andrews in San Bruno CA. We took classes and was presented to Bishop Swing in a ceremony at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. That was 34 years ago. We moved to Valley Springs when our son was 4. When we moved here we never did join another church but since my husband died this past June we were together over 43 years. I decided I needed spirituality in my life and saw St Matthews was the closest Episcopal Church. Though I have gone just 4 times the small parish is very welcoming. read more
