The Feast of Candlemas is on February 2.  It is also Groundhog Day!  Read about the connection between these by clicking the tab at the top.

Ash Wednesday is on February 17.  There will be an online Zoom service at 10am. Since it will be difficult to safely distribute ashes this year, we are offering Ashes in a Bag for you to use at home.  More details next week.  Send a message to the church if you would like some.

This is the Sunday we are collecting items for guests at the WARM Center.  The things needed are: small water bottles, juice boxes and individual cookie/cracker packages.  Monetary donations are also accepted.  Send a message to the church if you have something to donate.  Anything that is donated for the WARM Center this month will be counted as part of our collection for the Souper Bowl of Caring.  This is held on Super Bowl Sunday and is a project that strives to combat hunger. 
Would you like a Prayer Partner- someone to be a prayer supporter in these challenging times? Send a message to the church.  Everyone is invited to take part- even if you are new to this website.

COMING UP SUNDAY-JAN. 10

This is the 1st Sunday after Epiphany.  It is the day that the Church celebrates the Baptism of Jesus.  Throughout the Epiphany season (which lasts until Ash Wednesday on Feb. 17), the Church reads stories that tell how the identity of Jesus was revealed to the world.  In normal times, this is the Sunday that a parish would baptize new members into its body.
The annual parish meeting for St. Thomas' will be held virtually on Sunday, Jan. 31.
This year, our church will again participate in the Souper Bowl of Caring.  We will collect items on Jan. 17 for the WARM Center brown bag meals and use that total for our Souper Bowl donation.  If you would like to donate, send a message to the church email listed above.
The Sunday service will be at 9am.  The Zoom link is listed to the left.
