St. Thomas encourages you to participate in the 40 Acts of Generosity
this Lenten season which begins on
Ash Wednesday, February 17.
Each week will focus on organizations, missions,
and ways to be generous in the community and in the world.
Check your email this week for further information!

|
St. Thomas is participating in another week for ChristNet,
March 21-27.
|
|
The Interfaith Council will be providing breakfast items and dinners, for 25+ guests, prepared by Leo's Restaurant,
on Eureka Rd. in Taylor.
This is a cost-effective way of providing these meals while maintaining COVID protocols. The cost to run this week is about $2,000 total. Presently, we are short of that goal and need help.
Anything that you could give
would be greatly appreciated.
This would be a good way to tie into the ELCA 40 Days of Generosity.
Donations should be given to
St. Thomas, but designated "ChristNet".
