sermons added

We have found about 10 videos of sermons or talks that Matt gave at the Chapel over the years, and they are now posted in the "teachings" section of the website. We hope to add more as we find other recordings. If you've missed hearing Matt's voice, or just need a little boost of encouragement, take a listen here. And if you have any other videotaped talks of Matt at any venue, we would love to get them in the archive. Contact Mike about sending him the tape or DVD, and he promises to return it to you. Thanks!

A video tribute

The Pastor Matt Memorial Library

SANY0015
On October 22nd, Matt was honored with a library dedicated in his name. It is in an unlikely place, and hopefully you'll never get a chance to visit it. At the Morris Country Juvenile Detention Center, in North Jersey. The library is on the inside. It's the place where Matt spent countless hours mentoring one-on-one kids in the worst kinds of trouble. He made a lasting impact there, and now the library where he ministered bears his name. Carina and the family, and staff from Jacksonville Chapel and the detention center gathered for a short ceremony and some laughs and tears. His plaque reads: Dedicated to the memory of Pastor Matt DeLorenzo. Teacher, Mentor, Friend, and Chaplain. Mom was proud of him, and we all thought about how proud he would be as well.

Here's a quick video of the ceremony.
