Dear Friends,
COME – STAY – GROW – GIVE
Join us this Sunday as we start the 2020 Annual Appeal to raise funds necessary for Saint Thomas to operate and consider making a pledge online. Each year the Annual Appeal raises needed funds to enable Saint Thomas to fulfill its mission “to worship, love and serve our Lord Jesus Christ through the Anglican tradition and our unique choral heritage.”
Last week we told you about the Annual Appeal 2020 Sermon Series when my colleagues and visiting preachers will explore themes related to our life as a Christian Community. I will begin this sermon series on the Appeal’s opening Sunday preaching about the importance of Worship to all that we do at Saint Thomas. When Jesus was asked by a lawyer what was the greatest commandment he said without hesitation, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40, KJV)
During the Appeal’s ten week campaign, the sermons will focus on the many significant ministries at Saint Thomas that are supported by the Annual Appeal. You will also read below of a Ministry Fair to share the many guilds and volunteer roles at Saint Thomas Church.
We invite you to invest in our future through a pledge to the 2020 Annual Appeal. Your support has never been so important. Pledge cards are in the narthex and reception or you can pledge online.
