Welcome Rev. Suzanne Poulin
|
Our new Rector’s first Sunday is THIS Sunday, March 11!
The Reverend Suzanne Poulin will celebrate Eucharist with us at 8 am and 10 am.
This is a new beginning for all of us! The start of a fresh and exciting chapter in the life of our St. Thomas’ faith community. After almost four years of interim status, we leave the past behind and embark on new possibilities for St Thomas’.
YOU need to be part of this new beginning filled with hope and joy.
PLEASE join us Sunday at either 8 am or 10 am.
After the 8 am service, we will have a complimentary breakfast buffet, giving you a chance to chat with Rev. Sue. After the
10 am service, we will have a coffee hour reception, also giving you a chance to meet and chat with Rev. Sue. Please help with this transition by using the name tags we will have available. This will not only help each of us, but will be especially helpful to Rev. Sue.
Peace,
Kevin Gorham
Senior Warden
Don’t be late on Sunday! Set those clocks ahead the night before! It's time to spring forward with Daylight Saving Time.

Lenten Readings & Reflections
|
Explore the forgotten stories of African-Americans in New Hampshire told in a daily series of readings and reflections.
The Black Heritage Trail of New Hampshire and the Episcopal Church of New Hampshire invites you to read and contemplate these stories over the forty days of Lent.
As we learn about and understand the past, may we deepen the conversation about race in our state and country with the goal of creating the "beloved community".

Loving With All Your Heart, Soul,
Strength, and Mind
|
|
Lent is a time for introspection and self-reflection, a time to reflect on the core of what it means to live a Christian life.
Join us for small group discussion and a shared simple meal for the 6 weeks during Lent on Sunday evenings 5-7 pm, February 18 to March 25. Come for one or all of the evenings as your schedule allows.
Free books are available for self-reflection during Lent. They are designed for use as an individual reflection or for group study, this guide provides a foundation for seeking a deeper experience of love and Lent, an experience that will help prepare us for the true meaning of Easter.
Please contact the church office to let us know you are coming, if you need transportation, or if you need child care. Preparations for assistance can be made by request. ALL ARE WELCOME, bring a friend
