Bishop's Committee Prospective Member Information Event
With 2021 already underway, it is time to start the process for adding new members to the Bishop’s Committee (BC). Serving as the working leadership team for the congregation and working closely with Mother Julie Bryant, Priest-In-Charge, the BC provides many unique opportunities to serve the church. While we face these challenging times, St. Thomas needs faithful members who are willing to join in this important work.
To help provide more information about the work of the BC and opportunities to become involved, we will hold a Prospective Member Event on Saturday, February 6, 2021. Because of Covid-19 concerns, this will be a “virtual” event. However, dinner will be provided and a meaningful conversation will be held.
Please contact Tess Crawford to express your interest in attending this event, and so that we can prepare in advance to properly welcome and extend hospitality to each of you. For more information: Tess Crawford BC Member (2022) 951.378.3300 tess.crawford@icloud.com

Saturday Work Parties!!!
Great progress is being made on refreshing the St. Thomas property.
The new flooring is being installed this week to finish the repairs due to the remediation work. That means we are finally able to start moving furniture back into the administration wing and begin the process of clearing out the sanctuary to be ready for the day when we can meet for worship inside once again.
To tackle this task, we will be holding Work Parties every Saturday morning, from 8am to 12 noon. Refreshments will be provided. Work to be done includes:
Moving furniture
Removing dead plants
Weeding
Sweeping
Please consider pitching in an hour or two or three and helping with this important effort! We plan on working every Saturday, but we’ll skip the Thanksgiving weekend.
Any questions?:Tom Reid or Tess Crawford

RECYCLABLES WANTED
Please continue to collect your recyclables and bring them to the church on the second Wednesday of the month between 7am - 11am. Leave them near the preschool entrance where the handicap parking is. It would be very helpful if cans, plastic, and glass are already separated! TY!
We have seen a significant drop in the volume of recyclables received in the last month, and ask that you consider "sharing" your items with St. Thomas Episcopal Preschool. The money raised go towards material costs and fun activities for our students.
Thank you!
