This Anglican/Methodist Local Ecumenical Partnership (LEP), which is located in an Anglican building, is situated in a central main road position in the ancient township of Rastrick. St Matthew's is part of a United Anglican Benefice with St John the Divine, Rastrick. St John's is not part of the LEP.
St Matthew's is one church family; a welcoming fellowship worshipping and working together to the glory of God and his Son, Jesus Christ. We share one bread and wine in the Eucharist. We look to the working of the Holy Spirit amongst us in building up the kingdom of God.
The Church tradition is middle of the road, embracing the best of both Anglican and Methodist traditions. The Sunday services follow a four- or five-week pattern. There is a weekly Holy Communion (said) service at 7.45 am using Order One (traditional) from Common Worship. There is a twice-monthly Parish Communion at 9.15 am using a liturgy developed for the LEP. On other Sundays the main service at 9.15 am is either All Age Worship (including Church Parade for the uniformed organisations whose members play an active role in the service with readings and prayers) or Morning Worship. In five-week months the 9.15 am service is usually Parish Communion but may be set aside for other services. Normally one main service each month, Communion or Morning Worship, is led by the Methodist minister.
There is also a weekly service of Holy Communion (said) on Wednesdays at 9:20am.
Please note that we are currently closed but are hoping to re-open under COVID-19 restrictions for a service of Holy Communion on Sunday 6th December at 9:15am. Details of future services can be found on our website www.stmatthewsrastrick.org
