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
ADVENT I
The Collect The Text for This Week's Sermon
The First Sunday in Advent
The Collect
ALMIGHTY God, give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which thy Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick and [the]* dead, we may rise to the life immortal, through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, now and ever. Amen
The Epistle. Rom. xiii. 8
OWE no man any thing, but to love one an other: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
The Sermon for This Week
A friend of mine told me he is going on a time management course... just as soon as he can work it into his schedule.
None of us know how much time we have here on earth so we need to use our time well. Saint Paul urges us to do that in today's epistle.
Rom. 13:11 “And that knowing the time, that it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.”
The Advent season which begins today is a short one in which the church prepares to again celebrate God's great gift to mankind in our Savior Jesus Christ.
The Christmas rush is now on and the time seems to fly by as people are involved in shopping and decorating for Christmas.
It's all too easy for us to forget what the season is really about.
In the Apostle Paul's Epistle to the church in Rome he urges them, (and us), to “awake out of sleep”.
We need to be aroused from the sleep of unbelief and sin.
We need as Christians to rouse ourselves to repent of our sins and be about our Heavenly Father's business.
We are challenged in this new church year as lay people, as clergy, as congregations, and in the Church as a whole to “wake up” and realize that God has work for us to do and we only have a limited amount of time for us to get that work done.
None of us can be sure how many new church years we have here on earth.
We need, as St. Paul says, “to cast away the works of darkness, and to put on the armor of light”.
We should put off the world, and the concerns that keep us asleep in sin, and “put on” Jesus Christ. Paul means by putting on Christ for us to work to become more Christlike.
Follow more closely His footsteps.
We cannot of course ever attain perfection in this life, but each new church year should arouse us to make greater advancements and improvements in that direction.
As we begin this Advent season let us ask God's Holy Spirit to assist us and guide each of us to use the time we have here to do God's work.
That we may more and more follow the example of our blessed Savior Jesus Christ.
Through Christ's sacrifice for us, we have been made, as God's children, inheritors of His Heavenly Kingdom and can look forward to someday spending eternity there with Him, where time won't matter as it does to us now.

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.
