Join us on Sunday mornings as we affirm God’s grace and love in the world around us. Our virtual YouTube doors open at 10:15 for fellowship and the worship service begins at 10:30. We encourage you to wear a mask. Singers will not be required to wear a mask, but are positioned to be at least 17-feet away from the congregation. 

People will be invited to line up to receive communion if they wish; participating in communion is not a requirement.

Passing the peace will continue to be touchless; offering praying hands or open hands or other symbols of peace and love is encouraged.

St. Matthews United Methodist Church in Acton warmly welcomes, affirms and includes all people.

St. Matthew’s has been a Reconciling Congregation for 22 years, standing for the dignity, worth and full inclusion of all people, especially those marginalized for their sexual orientation or gender identity. The recent actions of denominational bodies do not speak for us. Only love does. We offer an open-hearted community where people may find their divine belovedness, belonging and calling.

God loves all people. So do we.

Recent Services & Sermons

Can These Bones Live?

Do we believe that new life can come after death? Can we find hope when things are bleak? Can we truly trust in God’s power of resurrection in the midst of a valley of dry bones where all hope seems lost? This Sunday, we will explore what the Bible has to say about these questions.

Who Sinned?

When it comes to faith, there are sometimes questions that are formed by assumptions and questions that lead us to judgement. In this week’s Scripture reading, we will observe various groups of people asking such questions, and we will examine what questions we pose. During our Lenten journey of seeking, what assumptions do we carry? What is our intent? When seeking clarity or understanding, what questions can we ask without assumptions or judgements?

Jesus’ Boundary-Breaking Invitation

Jesus crosses cultural, religious, and societal boundaries by leading His disciples through Samaria. In the heat of midday, He seeks out connection with a Samaritan woman drawing water from the well. His command to her is also a question and an invitation to a new way of life: Go and get your husband. For the woman, to respond is risky but life-changing. How would you respond to Jesus’ boundary-breaking question and invitation?

How Do We Begin Again?

In Genesis 12, God commands Abram to leave everything – his country, his family, his father’s household – to begin again. Like Abram and his wife Sarai, how do we follow God’s calling to begin again? When does a new beginning invite you to be a blessing to others?
