Annual Giving Campaign

The Vestry is grateful to everyone who generously provides financial support to St. Thomas. You make everything that we possible. We have decided to move our Annual Giving Campaign to the Easter Season in the Spring of 2023. In the meantime we hope and expect that everyone's generosity will continue.

If you have started worshipping at St. Thomas since our last pledge campaign, we ask that you complete a pledge form so that the Finance Committee can accurately project revenue for the first two quarters of 2023. Pledge forms are available in the back of the church and can be returned to the church office or placed in the offering plate.
