Hello Everyone,

Here’s your weekly reminder of all the programs, services and events at St. Thomas during the next several days.  Please take particular notice of all events in colored print.

Each year, St. Thomas generously provides Christmas gifts for each family member at Resurrection House.  You will see the Angel Tree outside of church on Sundays near the fountain in the garden or in the Church office during the week until the deadline, Sunday, Dec. 16th.  Out of 74 cards, there are 14 left.  Please consider taking one off the tree this Sunday.  Resurrection House greatly appreciates your thoughtfulness and prayers.  Any questions?  Call Vicky Steinwender 727-480-1614 (cell) or 727-898-8919.
