Worship Schedule
Our worship service is held on Sunday mornings at 11:00 am in room 212 of the Education Building at St. Matthew. We worship in our native NUER language, and our singing is led by the beat of the drum. Lay Ministers share the message of God and His love with us each week. All are invited to join us.
The Situation in Sudan…
