​​Ministries and Other Information

​

St. Thomas has charted a boy scout troop for the past 14 years.  When the

ECW hold’s it annual St. Patrick’s Dinner, the boy scouts help us with

bringing trays of food upstairs, serving and helping us clean up, we are so

appreciative.




Our stewardship brochures have summarized the many good ministries and

strong response in pledges.  In 2020 our pledges increased by 20% and were

increased by those who were able to in 2021 despite Covid 19.




In January 2021 we celebrated our 10th year of our fellowship café.  We serve a

hot meal the last Saturday of every month, which is open to anyone who

needs a meal or is looking for companionship for a few hours.  At the end of

each meal we prepare meals to go for those who want them.  When we were

able to serve indoors, we usually served 80-100 meals.  During the pandemic

we serve hot to go meals and we usually serve about 60 meals.




We received a creation grant for holy walks and labyrinth walks.  There are

also benches along side the labyrinth for those who just want to sit and be

quiet or to pray. This is open to everyone in the wider community.




When we were first told we could not have in person services we went to

zoom services.  Now that we are able to be back for in person service on

Sunday, we have taken every precaution.  Masks are worn, when going up for

communion you can either wear a glove or the usher comes down the aisle

and uses soap on the hands of those receiving.  




We have added the addition of Daily Office worship services including

compline.




In October of 2020, we applied for and received a media grant.  Our services

are now on zoom, facebook and live streamed.  We have been able to

reconnect with those who are not comfortable doing in person service as well

as former parishioners who have moved away or are looking to reconnect

with St. Thomas
