Following Lessons and Carols there will be a Garden Reception of cookies, punch and coffee. If you would like to bake or contribute cookies please let us know in the church office by this Friday, December 5th at 10 a.m.  We will be shopping for supplies in the afternoon. Thank you!

Advent has begun...(all links now work!)

It is the first Monday of Advent following the first Sunday of Advent...

So how are you feeling?

prepared,

centered, 

focused...

We have enjoyed a bountiful Thanksgiving. No matter how you chose to celebrate, we hope you celebrated 'all in' - that is to say, with everything you have to give to those around you and possibly even a bit of time to focus on yourself.

It then follows that we do the same for Advent. Whether you are solo, with family, with mate or with friends, remember your church community.  We all go into Advent from different places. This gives us plenty of opportunity to grow, to learn and to be there for one another. Together as a community, one body in Christ, we will soon arrive at Christmas Day.

Here is a 'most current' listing of happenings at and around St. Thomas for this Advent Season. If anything pops up or changes, you'll be the first to know!

Daily Meditation

Remember All of our prayer is about God. It’s not about us. In our prayer, we are being re-membered by God, we are being re-attached, we are being “put in our place” in the heart of God. -Br.
