Biblethon Fundraising Results and Thank You

Thanks to the hard work of the St. Thomas Youth, over 200 worksheets were completed during the Lenten season, raising a total of $1,400! Our young participants thoughtfully chose to split the funds, donating $700 to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and $700 to The Nest. The Nest, supported by Karen DeSanto and the Network of Life, provides essential items such as clothing, diapers, and basic supplies to young mothers in need. Your support is making a real difference—thank you for helping our youth grow in faith and service!

Ladies’ Bible Study June 19, 1:00 pm

Join us this Thursday, June 19, for a special recap of our study on 1 Corinthians. All women are warmly invited to attend—and feel free to bring a friend! This is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on what we've learned, connect with other women, and welcome new faces from the community. Whether you’ve been part of the study or are coming for the first time, we’d love to see you there!

Joshua Martin Piano Recital, July 1, 6 pm

All are welcome to attend Joshua Martin’s piano recital on Tuesday, July 1 at 6 pm. It will be an evening of beautiful music as Josh showcases his hard work, progress, and passion for the piano. This recital is open to family, friends, and music lovers of all ages. Admission is free, and light refreshments will be served following the performance. For more information, please speak with Josh.

Vestry Nominations Begin with Intentional Prayer

It’s never too early to start prayerfully considering the upcoming Vestry openings! Do you feel called to serve as a leader in our church community? Or do you know someone whose gifts and faith would make them a strong Vestry leader? Please take time to pray and reflect on who God might be calling to this important ministry. The nomination process will officially begin at the end of July. A nomination box will be available at that time for you to submit names. Let’s seek God’s guidance together as we prepare for this next season of leadership.
