On Saturday, June 11, 2022, we gathered in the Grove for some delicious food and LOTS of FUN to celebrate Deacon Cecily’s retirement.
Deacon Cecily Sawyer Harmon officially retired in January 2022; however, because of Covid precautions, we were unable to give her the send off she deserves. But, now that the weather has warmed up, we are able to gather in the Grove for a proper PARTY!
See Deacon Cecily’s heartfelt thank you note.

There will be a presentation, cooking, and food tasting!

We would like to go shopping on June 17, 2022 so sign up as soon as possible. The menu is going to be a surprise. Guesses welcome. See the attached poster for registration information.

Dear Families of St. Thomas’s and St. Nicholas,
Next Monday, June 20, 2022 is our opportunity to serve at Hope Dining Room. For the first time since before the pandemic, we will be “Dining In” instead of serving “Grab and Go”.
I have divided the “Helper” section into 2 shifts:
10 – 11:30 a.m. for Cooking and Set Up
11:30 – 1:30 p.m. for Serving and Clean Up
This is a terrific opportunity to serve some people who REALLY appreciate it! It always makes me feel good!
We begin cooking at 10 a.m. at Kingswood Methodist Church on Marrows Road in Brookside Park. Bring an apron and a ball cap.
See the Sign Up Genius for things and people we need. Father Howie is making his famous secret recipe cake for our guests!!!
You may bring your donations of fruit cups to St. Thomas’s on Monday – Thursday between 9-noon OR when you come to church on Sunday! If you can’t make those times, give me a call or an email and I will pick them up at your house.
Many Blessings to you all,
Madeline Johnson Mad1240@comcast.net
