Cave Scholarship Fund
Gene and Eleanor Cave were charter members of St. Matthew's UMC in 1957 and leaders in our church and community. Their family made a generous gift to establish an academic scholarship within the St. Matthew's Legacy Program and outlined specific criteria to be considered for its award. A link to the scholarship application form is available here. The Legacy Committee wishes to recognize St. Matthew's exceptional youth and encourages any high school student who meets its requirements to submit an application under the Gene & Eleanor Cave Scholarship Fund no later than June 15, 2025. If you have any questions, please contact Jim Godlove at 571-431-9903 or jmj49@msn.com.
Mark your calendars - we will be traveling from July 6-July 12, 2025 to serve the people of Appalachia and make homes warmer, safer, drier. Stay tuned each week as we give more information for this summer's trip.
