Dear St. Thomas’,

Words cannot express our appreciation for you and your partnership with
us over the past seven years. And today we were overwhelmed by your
well-wishes and expressions of gratitude at our farewell luncheon. We
will treasure the blanket and the photo book as they remind us of an
important time in our lives where we saw Jesus living and active. The
purse you collected was amazing and will be much appreciated by us and
our children as we begin a new season in our own journeys. Thank you for
being the body of Christ for us, for Rowan University, and for
Glassboro. May God give you vision and joy as you continue on about the
business of the Gospel and life in God’s kingdom.

Faithfully,

Todd+ & Becky Foster

Thursday last week was not only Maundy Thursday but also the Rowan
University Pridefest. We (TEC@RU, led by St. Thomas’) have been tabling
at Pridefest for several years, always the only Christian group present.
Our very presence is an important message of acceptance and embrace, and
numerous people acknowledge receiving that message every year. The event
directly conflicted with our Maundy Thursday liturgy this year, so that
Fr. Todd could not attend. But we were still represented by three Vestry
members from St. Thomas’ and one friend of St. Thomas’! Tabling at
Pridefest is a direct expression of obedience to Jesus’ “new
commandment” to his disciples that we love one another.  Check out the
posterboards on the bulletin board in the Lower Level Parish Hall for more
pictures!
