·         Reverse Raffle: St. Thomas' Reverse Raffle will be on Saturday, February 26. Drinks will be at 6pm, dinner at 7pm, and the raffle at 8pm. Please buy your ticket from any board member.

·         Membership Committee Chair: The church is looking to fill the position of a Membership Committee Chair. If anyone is interested, please see a board member.

·         Lecture Series: Instead of having on monthly lecture today after Liturgy, we will have it next Sunday and the topic will be "Subdeacons, Deacons, Priests, and Metropolitans. The differences/similarities. What it actually takes to become a priest or any of these positions."

·         Weekly Envelopes: Children envelopes for this year have come in, however, we are still waiting for the rest of the adult envelopes. This is a good problem to have because this means our parish family is growing. J Thank you very much for you patience and we will let you know as soon as they come in.

·        Home Blessings:  Just a reminder to call Fr Jim directly to have your home blessed at 330.701.3654. Some in our parish family have the mistaken notion that their homes need to be blessed only once.  They are anointed with oil only once with the 1^st blessing, but are blessed with the sprinkling of the Holy Water each year.
