Hello friends!  Please find a link for the most recent Helper below.  It features Becca Stevens and Thistle Farms, who Fr Howie spoke about in last week’s sermon.  You guys…I’m obsessed!  I encourage you to visit their page if you are sparked as I have been:  https://thistlefarms.org/. The story is uplifting, there are 10 good looking books (ooolala), and a lip balm for $4 among other natural and nourishing looking products.

Sue Houghton is going to do some spring cleaning at the St. Thomas’s cemetery on Delaware Avenue tomorrow (Thursday, April 11, 2019) morning from 9:30 – 11:30 a.m. If you are available and want to help out, bring some gardening tools and meet Sue there. She expects there are weeds to pull and bushes to trim.

Student clients of Blue Hen Bounty food pantry have asked for more mac & cheese and canned chicken. Please consider including some in your next grocery trip.

Donations should be placed in the plastic bin in the Great Hall. Thanks for your support.

Every week a mailing goes out to those members of our parish family who are unable to join us for worship on Sunday. The mailing comprises a current copy of the Carpenter’s Helper along with a copy of the 10:30 a.m. Sunday bulletin. Barbara Eldred had been performing this ministry for quite some time but, has decided to step away from it in order to allow someone else the opportunity to take on this ministry. It takes very little time and the office can supply the volunteer with envelopes, mailing labels, and postage. If you believe you are called to this ministry, please contact Adele Meredith at the church office at 302-368-4644 or adelemeredithstthomas@gmail.com.

Please note that the Choir School of Delaware will be joining us and performing at the 10:30 a.m. service at St. Thomas’s Church on Sunday, February 3, 2019.  This is a wonderful opportunity to come out and support the students and adult mentors of the Choir School of Delaware.  The Choir School serves Wilmington’s youth and families through after-school mentoring, musical training, and performances throughout Delaware and the region.  I know that you will be inspired by the Choir School at this special choral event.  Thanks and we hope to see you on February 3rd at the 10:30 a.m. service.
