Open
Table December 17, 2011
Christmas came early on Saturday December 17th at St. Thomas Open Table
Community Meal. Many “elves” helped to prepare and serve to almost 100
guests a festive meal of roast turkey with all the trimmings followed by a
scrumptious ice cream yule log. The evening was made extra special by the
colourful table settings and most enjoyable musical entertainment provided
by Fern Massey and friends. The Open Table Meal, held the third Saturday
of each month (except July and August), is open to all at no charge. Doors
open at 4:30 pm and meal is served at 5:00 pm. (9 photos)
Advent 1, November 27, was "Back to Church Sunday" at St. Thomas. It was an
opportunity to invite people who do not ordinarily attend church to come to
a service. A cake was provided downstairs with other refreshments.
Cornerstone provided contemporary music and the church was decorated for
Advent. (3 photos)

Youth Cottage weekend at Rev. Jane's cottage - June 10, 2011
(74 photos)
On Saturday, June 4th about 25 members of the congregation came together for
a
“visioning day” in response to Gift - Growing in Faith Together. We broke
into groups to consider and dream our future faith community at St. Thomas
based on our mission statement. The statement is here on this site, and you
will note the three main ideas. We had fun even though our imaginations were
stretched in the process. It was interesting to see the number of times we
reached consensus. I think we can call the day a success based on the
comment of a participant who summed it up with, “This was more fun than I
thought it was going to be!” We will be looking forward to the input of all;
this is vital. Please feel free to
discuss and enquire about Gift with any parish council member....
