THANK YOU!!
Many helping hands made this year’s Parish Picnic
 a success.  From our grill masters; Dan, Russ and Leon,
to our own Vestry members as servers.  The
volunteers who took the time and effort to make food,
the set up and clean up crew and Greg the all around
guy who helped everywhere.  Gigi and Elaine who kept the
children going with games and the bounce house.  
Deann for the wonderful “Cake Pops.”  
Last but far from least Louise, those were the
BEST home made burgers!!
 
Thanks so much for helping me!

Memorial Service for Dr. Tom Duncan


Dear Parishioners,

It is with sadness but also in the sure and certain hope of the resurrection that I inform you that Dr. Thomas Duncan entered into eternal life Tuesday morning.  Tom was a long time parishioner of Saint Thomas.

His daughter, Lela Garnett a member of the Cathedral Church of Saint Peter, has requested the memorial service be held at the Cathedral on Friday, May 24th at 11a.m. 

A visitation will be held at Anderson McQueen on Thursday, May 23rd at 5 p.m. 

 
With hope in Christ,
John Suhar
