Our life as disciples doesn't exist only within the walls of our church.  We receive information from many community organizations that provide opportunities to Pray, Learn, Share and Witness 

Stand for Life as we remember the 48th Anniversary of Legalized Abortion in our country. Please join us for the Cedar Rapids March for Life on Sunday, January 24th at St. Matthews Church, (2310 First Ave. NE.) We will gather outside in the First Ave parking lot. At 2:00 PM, we will leave their parking lot to march to Planned Parenthood. A rally that will include praying and music will begin at 2:30 PM. At 3:00 PM we will begin the march back to St. Matthew's. There will not be the customary chili due to Covid-19 restrictions.  Those unable to march are welcome to drive the route. All are welcome to participate in all or part of these events. For more information go to coalitionforlife@gmail.com or call 319-270-0054.
