Welcome to Saints Andrew & Matthias
We are located at 2415 McCann Road in the little village of Irving Michigan. In our historic (1878) brick building we use the historic King James Bible at all our services. We are traditional old fashioned Christians , using the old fashioned types of services from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. We feel it is our duty as Christians in the Church to try, with the Holy Spirit's guidance, to bring others to Christ and thereby change the world, and not to instead let the world change the Church.
Please join us for worship this week to see if you think we are the church that you have been looking for.

This Week's Collect & Sermon Text
EASTER I
The First Sunday after Easter
The Collect
ALMIGHTY Father, who hast given thine only Son to die for our sins, and to rise again for our justification; Grant us so to put away the leaven of malice and wickedness, that we may always serve thee in pureness of living and truth; through the merits of the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Text for This Week's Sermon
The Gospel. St. John xx. 19
THE same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
The Sermon for This Week
Budgeting gives you
peace of mind,
but nothing
much else.

If we want real peace, a peace with God, there is only one person that can provide that to us.
Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ provides that peace “that passeth all understanding”.
​
St. John 20:19 “The same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.”
The disciples, locked in that room for fear of the Jewish authorities, at first could not believe that Jesus was really there with them.
He then, “shewed unto them his hands and his side”, the nail prints in his hands from being nailed to the cross and where he had been pierced by the Roman spear.
They were then sure it was indeed him.
“Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.”
Christ's peace took away their grief.
Their master was alive not dead.
It took away their fear and unbelief.
Most importantly Christ's victory over the grave gave them and us a peace with God.
Saint John in the fifth chapter of his first epistle makes it very clear there is no peace with God except through faith in Christ.
“God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.”
Nothing but Jesus Christ can give a peace with God that can give eternal life.
He paid the price on the cross to reconcile us to the Father.
Only his perfect sacrifice could remove the sins that separated us from God.
We as Christians are to share this peace with those who do not know it yet.
Jesus told the disciples to do that in today's story .
“Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, so I send you.”
Those disciples in that room did go out and spread the “Good News” of the risen Christ.
All of us as Christians need to do the same. We need to be doing our best to be spreading that real peace to the rest of mankind.

We pray for our Armed Forces at each of our Morning and Evening Prayer services.
​
O LORD God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the Armed Forces of our country and those of our allies; Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.
