This Sunday...


*Join us at the 9:30 a.m. service for the lighting of the Advent wreath and our monthly thank offering!


*The St. Thomas Bell Choir will be ringing at Emmanuel Hailey.



*Adult Ed. with Don Liebich will take place after the 9:30 a.m. service.

The Taize Services mid-winter, a tradition at St. Thomas since 1994, will begin again soon. The first will be held Tuesday December 6th and will continue through 14th of February with a two-week break over the holidays.


Taize is a quiet, meditative, candle-lit service that includes chant, spoken prayer, and silent meditation. When one enters, they are given a program and a lighted votive candle that can be placed on the steps

leading to the altar either before the service begins, or at its conclusion. The service lasts about thirty minutes and is led by clergy and laypersons alike.

GIVING TREE @ ST. THOMAS


The season of gracious giving is upon us.

St. Thomas will have 6 families' Christmas wishes to shop for this holiday season.


Wishes will be available through an online sign-up starting

How It Works:

1) Sign up online for gift(s)

2) Shop for gift(s)

3) Wrap and label gift(s)

4) Return to the Christmas Tree in the Narthex by Thursday, Dec. 15


If you don't wrap the gift, no sweat. Youth will be wrapping some gifts along with sorting and bagging on

December 18 during Sunday morning Youth Group!
