(vegetarian and gluten-free will be available) This will be a wonderful opportunity for fellowship, conversation and reminiscences about our individual and collective association with this church over past years.

Advance notice …
We hope many of you will be well on with filling Christmas shoe boxes for Moldova and Ukraine again this year. Please bring them to church by Sunday 10 November ready to be delivered to the warehouse that week. If you have any questions please speak to Mary Bews.
Situation vacant!
We are grateful to Ann Matthews for the many years she has co-ordinated the food for ‘bring and share’ lunches and other events. As Ann has now relinquished this responsibility we are looking for a volunteer to take on this task. Ann will tell you that everyone at St Thomas is always generous and very willing to provide food when asked, so it is not an arduous task. We are planning for shared lunches after our celebration services during our 90th Anniversary year, and it would be lovely to have someone to help co-ordinate this. If you feel this is something you would like to know more about before volunteering, please speak to Mary Bews.
