I am a new member of St Matthews. I recently lost my husband of many years. We both grew up…read moreCatholic though did not know each other in our teens we both left as teenagers. We got married in a Episcopal Church and we said when we had a baby we would join a Episcopal church and we joined St Andrews in San Bruno CA. We took classes and was presented to Bishop Swing in a ceremony at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. That was 34 years ago. We moved to Valley Springs when our son was 4. When we moved here we never did join another church but since my husband died this past June we were together over 43 years. I decided I needed spirituality in my life and saw St Matthews was the closest Episcopal Church. Though I have gone just 4 times the small parish is very welcoming.

Best kept secret in Angels Camp. Right behind the Bret Harte High school…read more Pastor Shawn was at Calvary Chapel in Sonora. The Lord told him to go to Angels. He did and found a church with no congregation and he had the congregation. A perfect match and God has been working 15 years now at Refuge. Small church, low key, no frills and no politics just God. They also have nice preschool program. Excellent sermons and music is contemporary. Fabulous guest speakers and musical guests. Once a year he has a fundraiser, Refuge Run. Folks from all over come with their motorcycles for a inspiration weekend in June. Pastor Shawn is approachable and very intelligent. His sermons are positive. Shawn's Interpretation of the bible is spot on and doesn't pick or choose certain phases to please his congregation. He tells it like it is and God's expectations from his people.

I don't think I ever visited a new church on vacation and wished that church could be relocated to…read more where I lived. I felt that way about St. Patrick's during the two Masses I attended over the Christmas holidays. The homilies of both were memorable, the priests warm, personable, and welcoming. On Christmas Day our priest started the Mass late because he was chatting and didn't realize how late it was. To watch him you could tell he was obviously a good friend to many of the parishioners, and seemed to know everyone by name. My gay-dar pinged when he started Mass which might have been why I immediately liked him. (I love me some gays.) In fact, during the homily when he said "swaddling clothes... whatever THOSE are," I couldn't help but hope he'd slip a sing-song "fabu-lous!" next, although the only gays who do that are in movies. His homily was easily the best I've heard all year - fun and interesting to listen to and inclusive and welcoming. It reminded me of the joy of having a class with a really good professor you could listen to talk all day. The next Mass had a different officiant. He had a really interesting homily about the "Twelve Days of Christmas" song, and you could tell everyone was really listening. My family even talked about the homily in the car on the way home after Mass. The only minor quibble I had was that the priests stand right in front of the back doors of the church when Mass is over so you can't avoid shaking hands with them. I figure priests shake as many hands as politicians so I couldn't wait to get home and sanitize. Also, the front steps are really steep. I note this because my dad walks with a cane and they were a bit much for him. The choir, and in particular the main cantor, had a really impressive soprano range. The guy on piano who resembled Clarence Thomas had a really nice deep voice as well. Except for Clarence Thomas and a smattering of Mexicans, this church was full of honkeys. And lots and lots of old people. And those old people might not know a friend of Dorothy even if he preached right in front of them.

They have great kids teachers but sometimes kids who lie and want things all for themselves and I hope to be a Sunday School teacher there for them.

Shout out to everyone who is trying to prevent this and who is helping find a way to stop Coronavirus. I'm sorry for everyone who misses their friends and family and their old school.
