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 XV
The Text for This Week's Sermon
The Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity
The Collect
KEEP, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy Church with thy perpetual mercy; and, because the frailty of man without thee cannot but fall, keep us ever by thy help from all things hurtful, and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
The Gospel. St. Matt. vi. 24.
NO man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? There fore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (for after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
The Sermon for This Week
Why can't you trust atoms?
Because scientists say they make up everything.
I want us today to think about trust, because as Christians we should be always placing our trust in God.
St. Matthew VI :33 “But seek ye first His kingdom, and His righteousness”.
In today's Gospel story Jesus is telling those to whom he was speaking, (and to us today as well), to live lives trusting in God. This life of trust in our Heavenly father begins with our baptism. At our baptism we are grafted into the body of Christ's Church.
This life of trust brings us some obligations and difficulties, but also great joy.
The obligations are to fear, love, and trust God above all else. We read in the Bible that God is a “jealous” God. He expects us to have no rival to Him in our hearts. Our chief consideration must be always the kingdom of God and His righteousness.
We must not let things of this life on earth take first place in our life. Our soul and eternal life are at stake. We need to recognize God's claim on our life. It must take precedence over all else. We cannot let the world's pleasures and riches keep us from our obligation to Him.
The difficulties that arise for us from the life of trust are the same that faced those to whom Jesus was speaking in the Gospel story. “What shall we eat?” “What shall we drink?” “Wherewithal shall we be clothed?”
These are indeed real problems and our Savior knew it.
It is all too easy however to let these difficulties consume our lives. Worry about war, natural disaster, and economic problems can cause us to lose our focus on God.
Jesus reminds us that God cares for all His wonderful creation. He cares for us, His children, and will do what is best for us.
There is great joy in knowing that Jesus assures us that God knows our every need. He says that “ your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things”.
What a wonderful thought, that he knows, (better than we do), what we really need. We sometimes think we need things that we later discover we really didn't. God knows exactly what is best for us and provides it for us.
There is joy and blessing in living the life of trust that Jesus urges us to follow. Seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness brings contentment.
We Christians need to always cast our care upon Him, who cared so much for us, that he died on the cross for our sins to redeem us, and to make possible for us to have eternal life in heaven with the Father.

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.
