Join us on Saturday, May 30 from 9:00 am–Noon for a Church Clean Up Day! There are many small jobs around the church that need to be completed, and many hands make light work. Whether you can stay for an hour or the whole morning, your help is greatly appreciated. A list of projects is posted on the parish hall bulletin board. Thank you for helping care for our church home! Please see John Colaianne with questions. 

St. Thomas Day Combined Worship and Picnic, June 7

On June 7, there will be one Combined Worship Service at 9:30 am in the St. Thomas pavilion, weather permitting. Following the service, we will have our church picnic with a picnic brunch. If you would like to contribute, please sign up on the bulletin board in the parish hall to bring a brunch item. There will be games and fun activities for the kids. Don't forget to bring your own lawn chair and invite some friends to join us for a day of fellowship and joy. Any guesses who will win the St. Thomas Award? Find out during the Combined Worship Service!  The fellowship team would appreciate some extra hands at 8:30 to help with the set up. 

World’s Largest Baby Shower Through May 17

We are once again collecting baby items for Network for Life. The need remains great, and donations of diapers, wipes, baby clothes, pacifiers, bibs, baby food and formula, toys, and Bibles for moms are all needed and appreciated. Donations may be placed in the crib at the back of the church. Karen DeSanto will deliver the items to Network for Life and is available to answer any questions about specific needs.
