Starting on June 22, we will have a Sunday evening service at 7:00 p.m. This will be an informal service at the chapel (in the woods between the church and Grove) when the weather permits or at the church when it doesn't. This will target those who work on Sunday morning or are away for the weekend and would like to worship before beginning a new week. If anyone would like to play guitar or other instruments to help with this service, please see Pastor Nila.

Funds2orgs is an organization that purchases used shoes of any kind, refurbishes them, and uses the shoes to help establish and supply businesses in third world countries. We hope to collect and sell 2,500 pairs of shoes to funds2orgs, as a fundraiser for the Brethren Home Auxiliary. Please consider donating gently worn shoes for this project. Place a rubber band around each pair of shoes or tie them and deliver the shoes to St. Thomas. A box will be placed in the back of the church. If you have any questions, please contact Agnes Weible.
