Hello faith family! I hope this finds you well. Sunday, November 1, 2020 is the Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost. Here is the service program, and the service program in large print for your preview. This is All Saints Day. There are paper copies available to be mailed. If you would like one, please let me know.
We will be streaming LIVE from St. Thomas’s at 9 a.m. and also worshiping in person. On Sunday, connect to our worship service at St. Thomas’s YouTube channel – this is the same link each week. Please subscribe and ring the notification bell (twice) so you never miss a service. Yesterday, I emailed an invitation to in-person worship for this Sunday, with a link to a sign-up genius. Here is the FAQ about the precautions and procedures for worshiping in person safely. Please do not hesitate to contact the office or Fr. Howie with any questions or concerns about this option. Each service will continue to be streamed, and I suspect many of us will still be participating from home. 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.
Following the service this Sunday, our coffee hour guest speaker is Dr. Constance Cooper! Connie will offer an illustrated introduction to the history of St. Thomas’s. We will learn about how St. Thomas’s got started, some of its ups and downs, the story of campus ministry, and how we moved from South Main Street to South College Avenue. There will even be a few puzzles and surprises! This presentation will be in-person as well as via Zoom. A Zoom invitation will be sent on Sunday at 10:15. You do not need to register.
In this strange 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 page.

I look forward to worshiping together on Sunday!
Kind Regards,
