BAPTISMS

At our joint Pentecost Living Room/Wyvern service at Wyvern

it through with either your Home Church leader or congregation leader

or speak to Nathan for more details. nathan@sttoms.co.uk

SOCIAL EVENTS

During Lent we have been looking at some core values for St Thomas.

One of this is that it is ‘a place to belong’. One area of our church

family life that has been missing in recent times has been opportunities to be together, to get to know one another and to have

fun together. So we have just set up a small group who will plan and

organised a few opportunities for us do this throughout the year.

The team is looking for a couple more people to join them. If this is a way you would love to serve then please contact Pippa Stupple or give

your details to the church office who will pass them on to Pippa for you.

OFFICE NEWS

The office will be closed this coming Tuesdays, 24th April.

All other days will be open as usual.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

EASTER SERVICES

Please take a postcard which gives details of the services taking

place over Easter Weekend. They are available at each of the

service venues.
