Memorial Service

Dear Parishioners,

 

It is with sadness but also in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection that I inform you that Connie Long entered into eternal life early this morning.  Connie was a long time parishioner of Saint Thomas and served on the Altar Guild and Holy Folders.

The memorial service will be on Tuesday, October 16th at St. Thomas. A time has not been set at this time.

With hope in Christ,

John Suhar
