This is the 15th Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 18). We are thrilled that we have some new steps that lead into the parish hall. The old concrete steps were crumbling.

Things are gearing up at St. Thomas' for a busy fall. On Sunday, Sept 16, it is WELCOME BACK SUNDAY! We will welcome back families who have been away in the summer and invite visitors and newcomers to join us. Church school will start that day. We have a new curriculum for a 1-room classroom to incorporate all of the students.
On Tuesday, Sept, 18, we will begin a new program called TUESDAY TUTORING. This will run every Tuesday from 2:30-4:30 at the church.

In 2011, Bishop Wolf had given us some money to use for local needs and we were waiting for an opportunity to use it. Thanks to that generous gift, we were able to purchase all these school supplies and backpacks
