Sunday, November 24 parishioners enjoyed a sumptuous potluck and celebrated Roy Spears’ 85th birthday with cake and song. Roy and Carol and Kevin have been members of our St. Thomas family for 27 years. Roy has served on Vestry and as Junior Warden. On work days, he has wielded shovel, broom, brass polish, and vacuum. Roy has also been a stalwart, wise leader on the Property, Finance, and Columbarium committees. Roy is a package deal; he and Carol serve as readers, ushers, and AV producers. He says he’s blessed to be part of a caring, compassionate church family with a strong new Rector. Roy hopes to celebrate many more birthdays with us. We also welcomed five new members on Sunday, as well as several other newcomers.

The Fall Organ Pops Concert by Dr. Bill Haller is Halloween-tinged but not focused. The famous Bach "Toccata and Fugue" will set the tone, but the Boadway presence will also be felt, primarily in Richard Rodger's "Carousel Waltz"
The Fall Organ Pops Concert by Dr. Bill Haller is Halloween-tinged but not focused. The famous Bach "Toccata and Fugue" will set the tone, but the Boadway presence will also be felt, primarily in Richard Rodger's "Carousel Waltz" and "March of the Children" from The King and I. Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette" known from the Alfred Hitchcock TV series continues the holiday theme. Costumes are optional and if there are enough participants, there will be a costume parade. Seasonal refreshments will be served after the recital. The event is open to the public at no cost. Please bring children, family, and friends.
