COMING UP SUNDAY- DEC. 2

This is the 1st Sunday of Advent.  It is the beginning of the new liturgical church year.  Church school will meet.  Advent is an important season for the Church.  To learn about it, visit the tab at the top of this page. 
During the month of December, the sermons at St. Thomas' will focus on the Way of Love which will be adapted from the Presiding Bishop's Way of Love Advent curriculum.  See the post on the right. You can download your own Advent calendar here.   Another way to observe a faithful Advent is to get an Advent word in your inbox each day (see left column). 
Join us for worship each Sunday as we take this journey together.

COMING UP SUNDAY- NOV. 25

This is the Last Sunday after Pentecost and it is the last Sunday of the church year.  Advent begins on Dec. 2 and with that, a new liturgical year.  This final Sunday is called Christ the King Sunday because it celebrates the hope that one day Christ will have eternal rule- and in the meantime, we wait and work to establish the kingdom of God on earth now.
Church school will meet this week. This Sunday, stewardship pledges will be collected.
The Thanksgiving Ecumenical Service will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 21 at 7pm at St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Hope Valley.  All are welcome!
