COMING UP SUNDAY- JANUARY 5

This is the 2nd Sunday after Christmas.  There will be no church school this week.
There was a wonderful wedding at St. Thomas' last Sunday afternoon.   Some photos of the occasion can be viewed at our Facebook link on the right column of this page.
Starting in January, the weekly food collection will be donated to RICAN-(Rhode Island Center Assisting those in Need), located in Charlestown.  This organization had had shortages of food due to high demand in our region, so the additional donations from St. Thomas' will be useful.
