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, May 22nd. We will be having meatloaf (using locally raised beef), mashed potatoes, peas, 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 May 22nd 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! The special this week is BOGO pants.

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.
