Our initial plan was to present the full Discernment Committee’s draft report after its completion in August for comment and discussion, but these I C minutes were so interesting (and provided to us by their leader), we thought we’d share these now! This group will hold their next meeting on Monday, July 21st, 7-8:30PM at the church. Read on!

Interested in taking care of the Park?! ...Then we have a spot for you! Join a team of parishioners to help take care of the parish Park. A team is needed to volunteer for 2-hour gardening dates once a month to work on the park up-keep. We are also looking for an enthusiastic Park Steward to lead this team in their monthly efforts and make routine check-ups on the park throughout the month. Once a year in the Spring a bigger planting day and setting up the contracts for routine maintenance is a must for a flourishing green park!

You may have noticed the new yellow and blue recycling bins in the kitchen and an extra trash bin in the church parking lot. They're there because St. Thomas now has weekly pick-up of our used glass, plastic, aluminum, and newspapers. So, check out the new recycling bins, know where they are, and use them!
