Calendar

We celebrate today our patron saint, Thomas, and rededicate ourselves to Christ and our mission as a parish. [We also remember Thomas on his feast day, December 21] . Our current church building was dedicated on the first Sunday in October in 1913.

The Feast of Dedication serves as the launch for the Every Member Canvass for 2012. We encourage you to pledge for 2012 during the months of October and November in 2011. You may pledge online here. Or, if you prefer, complete the card attached to the EMC Brochure and drop it in the offering plate or mail it in.

On Sunday, November 6, we will have a special EMC Coffee Hour in the Parish House, at which time we will display the "tiles" created as part of the EMC Tiles Project. Please consider participating. Even if you live outside the country and know us only via the webcasts, you can still participate and mail your paper tile to us.

Collect:

Everliving God, who didst strengthen thine apostle Thomas with sure and certain faith in thy Son’s resurrection: Grant us so perfectly and without doubt to believe in Jesus Christ, our Lord and our God, that our faith may never be found wanting in thy sight; through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
