Hello faith family! This is the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost – August 13, 2023. This week we celebrate Jonathan Daniels an Episcopal seminarian and civil rights activist. In 1965, he was killed by a special county deputy, Tom Coleman, who was a construction worker, in Hayneville, Alabama, while in the act of shielding 17-year-old Ruby Sales. He saved the life of the young Black civil rights activist. They were both working in the nonviolent civil rights movement in Lowndes County to integrate public places and register Black voters after passage of the Voting Rights Act that summer. Daniels’ death generated further support for the civil rights movement.

In 1991, Daniels was designated as a martyr in the Episcopal church, and is recognized annually in its calendar.

Hello faith family! This is the Tenth Sunday after Pentecost, Sunday of the Transfiguration – August 6, 2023.

Weekly News

See our Carpenter’s Helper Newsletter for this week with news on our Stepping Up Together Campaign.

This week we celebrate Phoebe, a first-century Christian woman mentioned by the Apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Romans, verses 16:1–2. A notable woman in the church of Cenchreae, she was trusted by Paul to deliver his letter to the Romans. Paul refers to her both as a “servant” or “deacon” and as a helper or patron of many. This is the only place in the New Testament where a woman is specifically referred to with these two distinctions. Paul introduces Phoebe as his emissary to the church in Rome and, because they are not acquainted with her, Paul provides them with her credentials.

Also, there are flower dedications available for the next few Sundays. Please let the office know if you have anything you’d like to celebrate or memorialize.

Hello faith family! This is the Fifth Sunday after Pentecost, July 2, 2023, Year A. This week we celebrate Thomas the Apostle: one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament. Thomas is commonly known as “Doubting Thomas” because he initially doubted the resurrection of Jesus Christ when he was told of it (as is related in the Gospel of John); he later confessed his faith (“My lord and my God”) on seeing the wounds left over from the crucifixion.

Hello faith family! This is The Seventh Sunday of Easter, May 21, 2023, Year A. Next Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, so get your RED outfits ready! Please be reminded, the City of Newark’s Memorial Day Parade is this Sunday. This is the parade that goes backwards down Main Street. The ceremony on the green begins at 1 p.m., but streets will be blocked off a littler earlier. You are welcome to park at the church and walk down. The weather should be nice!

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 our church or online giving.

If you have anything to add to the Parish calendar or the Carpenter’s Helper newsletter, please email the office at StThomassOffice@googlegroups.com.

To see worship, events or news, see our website, FaceBook, InstaGram, YouTube, or the posted events on the board next to the name tag station. Recent Newsletters, Sermons, or Announcements are also available.

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.
