COMING UP SUNDAY- MAY 22

This Sunday is Trinity Sunday.  It is the one feast day in the church year that celebrates a church doctrine-the doctrine defines God as three persons- Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  These three persons are distinct, yet are one substance or nature.
This week at St. Thomas', the congregation will visit people in the neighborhood as a way of sharing the Good News of Christ.  St. Thomas' is committed to being an evangelist. This church has a message of love and hope to share with the world.
The months of May and June are busy at St. Thomas'.  On May 29, the new green paraments will be revealed.  It is also the day that the congregation will vote on becoming a parish.
June 5 is Visitor/ Bring a Friend Sunday.
