9am – 4pm
in the Parish Hall at St. Thomas

The famous St. Thomas Christmas Cookie/Bake Sale is just around the corner and we need your help! This is one of the major fundraisers for the summer youth program and there are several ways you can participate:

1. Please come and buy goodies at the sale! We look forward to selling lots and lots of wonderful, yummy Cookies and baked goods!
   
2. We need bakers to make LOTS of HEAVY cookies and goodies- decorated cookies, “Special” cookies, chocolate chip, bar cookies, sugar & spice and everything … Scrumptious! Candies and pies are also welcome. (Heavy because we sell by the pound.) We need items with nuts, without nuts, with gluten, gluten free… you name it! You do not need to bring them in fancy containers or anything since we sell in bulk. BAKE COOKIES
   
   Drop-off is at the church on Friday, Dec. 1 from noon-7pm or Saturday before 9am. Click this link to sign up to be a baker:

This stewardship season is a great time to check out all the ministries offered at St. Thomas and how you can get involved to help serve. After each service on November 11th & 12th, stop by the Parish Hall to see all the ministries on display.

There will be signup sheets available to join a ministry or get more info and if you are already involved in a ministry, be sure to sign up again. We will have a raffle for a few prizes for those who sign up at the fair.

If you are a leader, please contact Jean Adam 913-530-9097 or or fill out the Google form you should have received via email so we will know if you need a table for your ministry.

Let’s live out our St. Thomas mission – Come, Serve, Grow – Make a Difference
