Ministry to our College and University Students.
Last year Brad introduced us to a wonderful new ministry opportunity. During the stressful time of final exams, we at St. Thomas’ would like to send our students a little bit of extra love. We are asking that over the next four weeks you bring in items that the students can enjoy as they study for exams.
Please see display in Parish Hall for more information.
