2. Seder Supper Tuesday, April 15th, 2025
St. Thomas’ will be hosting a Seder Supper as part of our Lenten observances. The supper will take place Tuesday, April 15th, 2025 at 6:00pm. It has been two years since we have held this evening and we look forward to the supper. The supper is a reenactment of the “Seder” a Jewish Passover meal. This meal is an activity which is suitable for all members of the congregation and we look forward to seeing many of you at the supper.
Please be aware that the supper needs to be well planned and that people need to indicate they plan to take part. You must sign up in order to attend and seating will be limited, so please sign up early. Sign up sheets are posted in the parish centre. Simply sign up under a host’s name. This meal is a potluck within each table. Your host will contact you to discuss what you would like to bring.
Contact Linda Matchim (613-966-6790) if you would like additional information.
3. NEEDED: COORDINATOR FOR ST. THOMAS’ MEALS ON WHEELS (MOW) DELIVERY OUTREACH PROGRAM
Michelle and Mel Plewes are retiring as coordinators for the St. Thomas’ Meals on Wheels (MOW) Delivery Outreach Program. If St. Thomas’ is to continue involvement, it is necessary that a Coordinator be appointed. We offer our assistance to train the new parishioner(s) for the July duties.
**We have a couple who are willing to coordinate the December duties but not able to do the months of July. If someone could step up to take care of the months of July and work with the other volunteer couple then the St. Thomas’ Meals on Wheels program can continue to help the community.
Please let the church office know if you are wiling to help with this important Ministry.
4. St. Thomas’ Community Garden Boxes– Gardening season will be upon us soon and we have garden boxes available. If you wish to have a box please call (613-962-3636) or email the church
office (office@stthomasbelleville.ca).
