News & Events


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.

To keep up with all the The Episcopal Church in Garrett County is doing, Follow Us on Facebook, watch our Sunday Morning Livestreams on YouTube, and listen to daily Morning Prayer Podcasts on PodBean, or through Apple Podcasts.

Come have supper with us! ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!

The next meal will be held on Thursday, September 18th. We will be serving a traditional Oktoberfest meal to include pork schnitzel, scalloped potatoes, German red cabbage, applesauce, and, as always, homemade desserts.

If you are unable to eat on-site, we will offer takeaway beginning at 5:30 pm.

ALSO, the Nearly New Shop will be open on the evening of September 18th from 5 pm - 6:30 pm in conjunction with Stephen's Table, so you can shop and get a delicious free meal all in one place!

Stephen's Table community meals are held monthly at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church, located at 126 E. Liberty St. in Oakland. The meals are provided on the next to the last Thursday of each month unless adjusted for a holiday. Please look for our sign near the Second St. entrance and enter the building using that entrance. The meals will be served upstairs in our Parish Hall unless otherwise noted.

We would love to host you for supper every month! As always, the meal is free of charge.

Mark your calendars!

COME ONE, COME ALL! ALL CREATURES, GREAT AND SMALL!

Our St. Francis Day Pet Blessing is set for 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!

The anticipation is over; Nourishing Neighbors is back and ready to serve our communities!🍅🫱🏼‍🫲🏻

Kicking off next week, there will be weekly free fresh produce and resource exchanges coming to a community near you! We have teamed with Garrett Growers again to bring fresh, local, nutritious produce to you. We are servicing both Garrett and Allegany Counties through the summer and early fall. The fresh produce box supply is limited and is available on a first come, first served basis. In order to receive a free fresh produce box, participants will be asked to complete a screener.

Exchanges begin at 10 a.m. and end at 1 p.m. or until produce boxes run out. We are excited for the upcoming season of Nourishing Neighbors and can't wait to see you there!😄🫑🥕🥒
