PLEASE HELP OUR ADOPTED FAMILY |
|
St. Thomas is proud to announce that we are adopting a wonderful family for the holidays this year.
We are helping a mom with three young children.
A small tree is located in the Narthex that has "ornaments"
listing each child and specifics (also see below).
We want the mom to have a special holiday, too.
Toys, clothing or donations are greatly appreciated.
A bin is located near the "adopted family" tree for purchased gifts.
If you want to contribute financially, please designate
"Adopted Family" on your donation.

There will NOT be a cookie walk this year due to the concerns over Covid and the need for individually-wrapped items. This is typically a huge fund-raiser for Edward R. Aller High School Scholarship.
If you are interested in contributing to the scholarship fund, please mark "Aller Scholarship"
on your donation.
|
|
The Christ in Our Home devotional booklets for January, February and March 2022 are now in.
You can pick up your copy in the narthex
or in the office during office hours.
These lovely little booklets contain a bible passage, personal story and targeted prayer
for each day of the months.
Get yours now!
