SERVE

Thank you to Sarah Hammack for helping to organize and label all books in our library with the Dewey Decimal System!  The Library is now aligned with our Adult Discipleship Plan and is much easier for folks to use!

For their exceptional leadership while our Top Chef, Frank Priest, was recovering from surgery this Spring.  Volunteers with the Kitchen Team love to serve behind the scenes and have gifts of hospitality and a welcoming, positive attitude.  Join the team today!

Thank you to Earl Amstutz, John & Cheryl Rosko, and Perry Bailey for serving as mentors this year. We appreciate your willingness to share your love of Jesus and our church with our youth! Our goal is for EVERY child to have at least five adults beyond their family who knows and loves them personally before they launch into adulthood. How might you share your faith with the next generation?

Mitchell is one of the most faithful members of the Children's Council. He reliably assists with Sunday School and Children's Church where he shares his faith and commitment to the Lord with our children. He serves as a mentor at Tween meetings and is a dependable friend for kids working through the upper elementary years. In addition to helping with special events each season, Mitchell serves as a VBS crew leader to guide the children of our church through the summer program each year.  Thank you Mitchell for using your spiritual gifts of faith, teaching and helping others!

St Thomas would like to say thank you to our Lawn Care Team!  Between early spring and late fall you can find the lawn care team working hard by mowing, trimming, edging, pruning and weeding the grounds of St Thomas every Thursday.  We are so grateful to this dedicated group who take time out their schedules to help make our campus look beautiful!

For the past 20 years Frank has been our Kitchen Manager and Janel is his right hand.  Together with the Kitchen Ministry Team, they prepare food for church events, Tuesday Night Dinners, our first responders, and our annual Christmas Day Dinner.

We are so incredibly grateful for our volunteers!  We love you and appreciate all your hard work and dedication!

This Thursday we feature: 
Sharron Anderson!
Thank you for helping to reorganize the choir room!

Sharron has given many hours to help reorganize the choir room.  She has alphabetized music and thrown away old materials from our former campus on Westmoreland Street (we moved twenty-five plus years ago!).  She also brought her inner designer skills to the project as she helped to redecorate the space for our many choirs!  Thank you!
 

Thank you to this dynamic duo who have shared their leadership gifts over the past few years as the Chair of Trustees and the Chair of Mission Council!  They have served faithfully and effectively behind the scenes to keep our campus in top shape (Ron) and to bless the least of these in our community (Cathy). Thank you!

Thank you to Pat Brown who just finished her tour of duty at as our Head Lay Leader in 2022 and welcome to Paula Renfro who will become the new Head Lay Leader in 2023.  Both women, plus Bill Coppa, served beautifully together as our team of Lay Leaders throughout the past year.  Thank You for serving as the hands and heart of Christ!

Thank you to this trio who share their God given musical talents and faith to help lead us in our contemporary service weekly. Pavel Steen, Milan Steen and Riley Miller are a diving backbone in the praise band and have been for several years despite their youthful age. Pavel and Riley both started playing with the band at the age of 10 (if you can believe that) and the three have become an integral part of the Sunday morning worship. Thank you men, you ROCK!
