St. Matthew’s: 10 AM, Rite II (2nd, 4th & 5th Sunday)
Sometimes an open door is all you need. You’re not looking for a church to tell you its own version of right and wrong. You’re not looking for a church that has all the answers, or a church that includes on the right kind of people.
You’re looking for a church where you can bring your doubts, your questions, and your fears, and find a welcoming, affirming, open community willing to share them. Within, you will find a quiet place for prayer and a nurturing community ready to help you find your voice and your vocation to the world in Christ’s name.
Come and see.

COME ONE, COME ALL!
ALL CREATURES, GREAT AND SMALL!
Our St. Francis Day Pet Blessing is set for THIS SUNDAY, OCTOBER 5th at 10 AM at St. Matthew's in Oakland.
** Please make sure your pet is on a leash or in a carrier. **
ALL PETS ARE WELCOME!
Just because a pet may not fit through our doors doesn't mean they can't come! We will come out to them in their trailer to bless them.
We're looking forward to blessing our furry friends again! We hope to see you there! ... See MoreSee Less

The Episcopal Church in Garrett County has moved to a consolidated church schedule with one 10 AM service each Sunday, alternating between St. Matthew's in Oakland and St. John's in Deer Park. The 1st and 3rd Sundays will be held at St. John's, and the 2nd, 4th, and, when applicable, 5th Sundays will be held at St. Matthew's.
Please note that thanks to the flexibility of our new schedule, we are now able to avoid the parking issues associated with the car show on the Sunday of Autumn Glory. Worship on Sunday, October 12th (Autumn Glory Sunday/Chip's return) will now be held at St. John's.
The schedule will return to normal with church at St. John's on October 19th and at St. Matthew's on October 26th. ... See MoreSee Less
