Young People
At St. Matthews we have several groups of young people, from toddlers to teens. The youth section of our congregation has its own page here.

Welcomers
For the practical jobs such as putting up hymn numbers and lighting candles we have a band of 'Welcomers'. We don't bite, so if you are unsure about anything, do just ask and we will be happy to help you.

Other 'Regulars'
The Music Group
The valiant music group started originally by Paul and Syd has been leading our worship with heart for as long as I can remember. The group has its dedicated page here.

Silvia Crummet
If organ songs are requested Silvia is always waiting upstairs to pull out all the stops and give us a resounding verde of 'Great is they Faithfulness.' Sylvia is also in charge of the merry bell ringers. If you want to hear a clip of out bells peeling, click here.
