ST. THOMAS CHRISTIAN WOMEN
The Women's Afternoon of Reflection, sponsored by St. Thomas Christian Women, was held on Sunday, March 10th. Talia Westerby was an exceptional speaker, offering us her insights and personal experiences to help us make more room for God in our lives. It was a truly spiritual gift to us mid-Lent. Christian Women fundraisers during the year include a rummage sale and the sales of ham & rolls, soups & casseroles and Christmas baked goods. Our funds are used to sponsor scholarships and the World Marriage Day dinner. We also support the Holy Sewers, mission trips, the pre-school and other needs that arise. All women of the parish are invited to join us. We meet the second Monday of the month at 6:30 pm in the gathering space. Questions? Call Laverne Lewis at (262)210-8638.
