it through with either your Home Church leader or congregation leader
or speak to Nathan for more details. [email protected]
SOCIAL EVENTS
During Lent we have been looking at some core values for St Thomas.
One of this is that it is ‘a place to belong’. One area of our church
family life that has been missing in recent times has been opportunities to be together, to get to know one another and to have
fun together. So we have just set up a small group who will plan and
organised a few opportunities for us do this throughout the year.
The team is looking for a couple more people to join them. If this is a way you would love to serve then please contact Pippa Stupple or give
your details to the church office who will pass them on to Pippa for you.
OFFICE NEWS
The office will be closed this coming Tuesdays, 24th April.
All other days will be open as usual.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
EASTER SERVICES
Please take a postcard which gives details of the services taking
place over Easter Weekend. They are available at each of the
service venues.
