Weekly Events at St. Thomas

Hello Everyone,
Here’s your weekly reminder of all the programs, services and events at St. Thomas during the next several days. We have also highlighted upcoming special events.  Please take particular notice of all events in colored print.

 
FIRST COMMUNION SERVICE
Our First Communion Service
will be Mother’s Day, May 13th
during the 10 o’clock Sanctuary Service.


We invite the parish of St. Thomas to join in
support of these children and their families
and enjoy a beautiful Mother's Day Celebration.
A reception will be held in the Curry Garden following the service.

 
YOUR WEEKLY FOOD DONATIONS

Your loving weekly food basket donation goes to the St. Petersburg Free Clinic
Food Bank. The Food Bank distributes this food to over 50 partner agencies
throughout the community. Among them are Free Clinic’s We Help Services,
Women’s Residence and Beacon House.

 
St Thomas has donated 184 pounds of food so far in just March of this year! Way
to go! The ongoing need is great and your continued support is blessed. Staples
such as cereals, juice, peanut butter, and canned meats are always needed. Never will “buy one and get one free” at the grocer go farther.

 
Thank you,
Outreach

 “St. Thomas will be sponsoring two mission trips to Haiti in 2013. You must be an adult to participate. We will have a service project trip March 16—23 and a medical mission trip April 6—13.
