Advent Begins

This Sunday, December 1, is the first Sunday of Advent. Come and join us at 10:00 a.m. for Holy Eucharist as we prepare ourselves for the coming of our Lord.

A reminder - we will not have potluck lunch this Sunday, but will wait and enjoy lunch with our Bishop on December 15.

Give Thanks!

Almighty and gracious Father, we give you thanks for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them. Make us, we pray, faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
             

Ann & Keith's 50th Birthday

Great birthday party at Harvey's Dance Hall for Ann & Keith's 50th birthday...

S'more Sunday

Both the Jr.and Sr. E.Y.C. groups will meet tomorrow, Sunday, November 10 at 4:00 p.m. at the Cagle's home for S'more Sunday. This is always a fun event and marks the coming of cool weather...

Ms. Dee always outdoes herself with a great spread of S'more makings and the spot just over the levee is a perfect outdoor gathering area.

Join us for fun, fellowship and - of course - S'mores.

Interfaith Thursday Evening

St. Thomas is involved in the Interfaith 

Accountability Session this Thursday night at Mt. Zion Baptist Church. The event begins at 7:00 and ends at 8:30. The purpose of the meeting is to allow the Monroe School Board Members and the candidates in the run-off election (if possible) to have an opportunity to support publicly their commitment to working on issues that have been identified as important to our community. 

We need St. Thomas members there!! Please consider taking time from your evening to support this effort. This is a time when our very presence will speak to public officials. 

Mt. Zion is located at 211 Mt. Zion Street in Monroe. The church is located on the left  just off of N. 18th Street and soon after you cross Louisville going south toward I-20.

IF YOU NEED A RIDE, PLEASE CONTACT ME BY RESPONDING to this email asap. You can call me also at 355-4319. If I don't answer, leave a message and I will call you back. I know some of you already have obligations, but I am so hopeful that we will have a solid group who will be there. 

Thanks!
