This coming Sunday is the first Sunday of the month so all of the non-pledge cash and change placed in the collection plates will be directed to the Discretionary Fund. Checks made payable to “St. Thomas” with “Discretionary Fund” written in the memo line are also welcome.

The Discretionary Fund provides confidential assistance for our friends and neighbors in financial need. No donation is too small. The funds are paid directly to the vendor such as the electric company or landlord. Your donation allows St. Thomas’s to be a source of light to those in need who are struggling in a world that is often dark.

Annual Hayride and Bonfire is on Saturday, November 10, 2018.

Please try to arrive by 5:30 p.m. The wagons leave promptly at 6:00 p.m.
$15 per adult and $8 per child. 5 and under are free!

There is a sign up sheet hung on the door in the lobby. Please let us know if you plan to come! If you decide at the last minute to come, come on! Just bring your payment with you! We will provide the hot dogs, cider, water and S’more fixins.

Location: Milburn Orchards, 1495 Appleton Rd, Elkton, MD 21921

IMPORTANT:
Use the special parking lot designated for Bonfires, NOT the farm market parking lot. This is where your group will gather, the tractor driver will pick you up and drop you off at the end of the evening. The Farm Yard is off limits after dark so it is extremely important to use the correct parking area. For a printable map and directions to Milburn Orchards, please visit www.milburnorchards.com.

Any questions, contact Kelly Tompkins.

It’s that time of the year when all ministries should re-submit their request for use of the building various spaces. Please fill out a “pink sheet” and put it in Wendy Campbell’s mailbox at your earliest convenience. Do it today so you will have the space you desire. Thank you to all ministries who have already submitted their pink sheets for the coming program year.

Blessing of the Backpacks Day has been moved to next Sunday, Sept. 16! Don’t forget to bring your backpack, briefcase, tote bag, soup ladle, etc. to get your supplies and your blessings for the new school year!

The first rehearsal of our Choir starts tonight, Thursday, Sep. 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Choir Room. There is not an anthem scheduled for this coming Sunday, so this rehearsal will be a somewhat relaxed, get acquainted with new music time. If any of you would like to join the group just to see what it is like, I warmly invite you.

I will be in the Choir Room at 6:00 p.m. in case anyone wants to come a little early to do a little practice singing with me to get an idea what voice part he or she might be.

Rehearsals are usually over by 9:00.

Cheers!
