Good morning faith family. See St. Thomas’s Carpenter’s Helper newsletter for news and events information for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany – January 30, 2022, Year A. This week, you will read about Candlemas, which is coming up next Wednesday, an invitation to an “Invite Welcome Connect” digital gathering on February 9, and a reminder of our own adult education 6-week series From a boatful, to billions: An absurdly short history of Christianity starting this Sunday. If you need any assistance connecting with either adult education opportunity, please do not hesitate to reach out to the office.

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.
