Hello faith family! Sunday is the First Sunday after Epiphany – January 9, 2022, Year A. Services are held in-person with precautions and online via our YouTube channel. Please do not hesitate to contact the office or Fr. Howie with any questions or concerns about these options. We are listening to the experts and considering how to best keep our faith family safe during this pandemic.
This Sunday marks Deacon Cecily’s last Sunday celebrating with St. Thomas’s faith family. We will shower her with love and well wishes this week, and present her with cards and gifts. But, the real celebration will take place this summer, when we can gather in the Grove and really do it right. Please let the Cana or Fr. Howie know if you are interested in joining the party committee.

In this strange pandemic time, the church is aware that some of its members are struggling to make ends meet. If you are in this situation, please let the clergy know of your needs, pray for the church, and feel no guilt about your giving. But if you are able to give, options for giving include mailing a check to your church or online giving. See our Giving information.

Regardless of whether we are together in-person or virtually, we are connected by the Holy Spirit: Always together; never apart…maybe in distance, but never in heart.
I look forward to worshiping together on Sunday!
