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
TRINITY IV
The Fourth Sunday after Trinity
The Collect
O GOD, the protector of all that trust in thee, without whom nothing is strong, nothing is holy; Increase and multiply upon us thy mercy; that, thou being our ruler and guide, we may so pass through things temporal, that we finally lose not the things eternal. Grant this, O heavenly Father, for Jesus Christ's sake our Lord. Amen
The Text for This Week's Sermon
The Epistle. Rom. viii. 18
I RECKON that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
The Sermon for This Week
The comedian Henny Youngman always joked that he just got back from a pleasure trip.---- Taking his mother-in-law to the airport!
Life does have many such pleasures, but of course we know that life is not all just pleasure, and you will suffer adversity as you go through life.
However we are told by Saint Paul today, that as Christians, we may as well from time to time, expect to encounter some extra suffering for our faith.
Rom. 8:18 “For I reckon that the suffering of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.”
The writer of today's epistle, Saint Paul, was a man well acquainted with suffering for his faith.
Paul, in the course of his missionary travels, had been ship wrecked, beaten, stoned, and had been forced to struggle against not only the heathens who resisted his ministry, but also had been bitterly opposed by his own people, the Jews.
He also suffered from a physical disorder. This “thorn in the flesh” as he called it, (we are not sure exactly what it was), caused him great difficulty in carrying out his ministry.
All of these sufferings, he tells us, shrink in comparison to the “glory” which shall be revealed.
This “glory” is something so great that the human mind cannot fully grasp it or words adequately express it. It is a glory of life spent in the very presence of God who we shall see face to face. It is a glory of endless life of complete happiness without sin.
It is a glory that could only come about by the sacrifice of God's only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. Christ's death on the cross for the sins of all mankind, makes this glory possible.
A glory made possible by such a sacrifice must be marvelous beyond our limited human imagination.
The Church, (and Christians), are under attack around the world, and here in the United States as well, by forces of evil. It has been so since the beginning, but sadly in the last several years we as Christians are more likely to experience hardship as a result of our faith.
So as we go through our lives here on earth and experience hardships and adversity, we as Christians should always remember that we have a Savior.
A Savior who has reconciled us to our Heavenly Father.
​
A Savior who has, with his precious blood, paid the price for our sins.
​
A Savior who makes it possible for us to look forward to everlasting glory with him in heaven.

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.
