For 151 years,
something wonderful has been happening
on the corner of Hudson & 8th Streets every Sunday.
Please read further and find out who we are,
what we do, and how we celebrate . . .
Welcome to St Matthew Trinity. Visit us often as this site is updated frequently. And, of course, visit us on Sunday Morning - we'd love to meet you in person.
Wie heilig ist diese Stätte,
hier ist nichts anders denn Gottes Haus
und hier ist die Pforte des Himmels.
Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said,
"How holy is this place!
This is none other than the house of God,
and here is the gate of heaven."
Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat and clothing to wear, so that I come again to my father's house in peace, then the Lord shall be my God, and this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that you give me I will surely give one-tenth to you."
- Genesis
