A proud shout-out to
our Generous Sunday School Students!
|
|
Thanks to the children
and donors!

Throughout Lent, our church kids
were encouraged to put aside money for the ELCA Good Gifts program that helps families support themselves with funds to purchase livestock.
A goal was established
at the beginning of Lent to raise enough money to purchase 2 pigs.
At the end of Lent, $90.00 had been collected which will purchase 3 pigs!

It's simple math: if each person brings just ONE can or box of food
to service each week, St. Thomas will have a BUNCH
to give to the Food Pantry each month!

*Larger branches may be placed at the back of the parking lot for future burning. Leaves and sticks raked up may be tossed into the surrounding woods. |

Spring is in the Air!
A few outside tidying tasks need to be done at church.

If you have the time, interest, and energy, any of the following jobs
will help us keep St. Thomas
looking clean and neat:
- Stick pick-up in the playground
- Leaf rake-up around air conditioner
- Leaf rake-up in Memorial Garden
Come and work at your convenience!
Any day, time or length!
Don't worry about weeding!
