Youth and Graduation Sunday!

We honor our graduates, and St. Thomas Youth are serving as ushers, lectors, and LEMs. Two of our seniors, Riley Mullen and Ruthie Wade, are the preachers for the morning. Following the 10:30 service, join us for a graduation reception in the parish hall to congratulate our graduates. Plus, it's Mother's Day!

Sunday Adult Formation During the Easter Season: Sustaining Creation Care during Eco-Crisis
9:30-10:15, Church library & Zoom
This Sunday: 'Refugia' - 'little pockets of renewal'
Together we will view a short podcast titled “Little Pockets,” followed by discussion led by Christine Difeliciantonio, from the St. Thomas Creation Keepers. Biologists use the word 'refugia' to refer to small pockets of protected areas where life can regenerate after some form of catastrophe. The podcast further uses the term metaphorically to describe the role churches can play as 'refugia' for people after a catastrophe. We will consider both senses of 'refugia' in relation to the catastrophe of global warming.
Coming sessions: May 15 - Brian Schwartz - The Interconnectedness of Life May 22 - GIPL Team - Advocating for Action

Sundays in the Parish Hall
We are putting the new smart TV in the parish hall to use. Beginning this Sunday, our live stream of services at 8:30 and 10:30 will be shown in the parish hall during worship. If the nave or chapel feels too crowded to you, if your pew starts to get uncomfortable, or if you need to leave during the service but still want to hear the sermon or prayers, feel free to spend part of the service in the parish hall and then come to the altar for communion. A smart TV will be installed in the nursery next week to allow nursery staff and volunteers to view the service and help children become familiar with worship.
