Dear St. Thomas’,
Our Bishop is coming to visit this weekend!
On Saturday night we will meet on-line only for Evening Prayer. On Sunday there will be no 8am service. Sunday School will meet as usual. Then at 10.30am, we will meet outdoors with our Bishop, celebrating the confirmations of Scott C., Don D., and Jonathan W.
Bring a chair, wear a mask, dress for the weather, and come join us for this exciting day!
Faithfully,
Todd+
This weekend it is time to “Spring Forward.” Your cell phone and computers will likely take care of themselves. Other clocks should be set forward by an hour before you go to bed Saturday night. What could be more embarrassing than showing up for church an hour late for your own confirmation?!?

The state of New Jersey has open a “pre-registration portal” for residents to sign up to receive vaccination against Covid-19. Sign up at https://covidvaccine.nj.gov/. You might also call around to local hospitals or pharmacies to see if they have openings in their own distributions of the vaccine.
One resource suggested by others in our Diocese is the Vaccine Spotter website. It can help you find pharmacies with available appointments.
Announcements for the bulletin or parish email are due into the office by noon on Wednesday of each week. You can email them to office@stthomasglassboro.org or call the office at 856-881-9144. Announcements are subject to editing due to limited space.
