Meet two of our young preachers, Maiiya and Scott. Both are relatively new members of St. Thomas’ (though they’ve both been among us longer than you think!). They, along with Sarah Ternay, are the driving energy behind our Advent Vespers services on Tuesday nights at 6.30pm!
This week St. Thomas’ is hosting four families through IHN / Family Promise. These are children and adults, women and men, who have a warm, safe place to sleep and a hearty meal at the end of each day thanks to the hard work and generosity of St. Thomas’. Cleaning, preparing meals, sleeping over, driving the van: disciples of Jesus Christ love their neighbors in practical ways even when it means sacrificing their own comfort and desires.
Kitchen of Hope gave away 80+ turkeys last weekend! Disciples of Jesus look for ways to share with others the good things in life that we enjoy ourselves. Thank you to everyone who came out for an extra Kitchen of Hope Day in November!
Sarah Ternay organized a fabulous potluck and game night last Sunday night! Thank you to Sarah and to everyone who came out to make it a delightful time of laughter and togetherness. And lots of great food!

St. Thomas’ once again (for the 92nd time!) pulled together to offer our locally famous Ham & Oyster supper on Election Day!
Making Pepper Hash! ‘Tis the season for hair nets, large knives, and working together with friends, new and old.
This weekend has become an annual trifecta: Grungy Sunday plus the Crop Walk plus Pizza and Pumpkins. At St. Thomas’ we’re not very good at choosing: we prefer to say “yes!” to everything! Thank you to everyone who helped out with these events: most of you with more than one of them!
