The 11th annual Soles for the Harvest 5k and 1 Mile Fun Run will be on 12, November 2022 and is sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey, Office of Jubilee Ministries. Details about the event can be found here or by contacting Tal K.
November is a month to give thanks and throughout November, United Thank Offering (UTO) boxes and envelopes will be in the church and Parish Hall. Each year, this collection from the congregation is presented to the Diocese of New Jersey through the ECW.
“UTO encourages people to notice the good things that happen each day, give thanks to God for these blessings and make an offering.”
In 2022 the Diocese Executive Council awarded over a million dollars in grants with funds collected in 2021. Coins, cash, or checks written to St. Thomas’ with UTO on the memo line all will be gratefully received! Thank you!
As Episcopalians, we belong not just to a congregation but a Diocese. There are many ways to serve God’s community on the Diocesan level, and several of those opportunities (“offices”) will be filled at our 2023 convocation. Now is the time to make nominations! See the letter, list of offices to be filled, and nomination form on the bulletin board in the Parish Hall or online.
