Heavenly Lord,
you long for the world’s salvation:
stir us from apathy,
restrain us from excess
and revive in us new hope
that all creation will one day be healed
in Jesus Christ our Lord.. Amen.

Brenda passed away peacefully last Friday morning at Dorothy House Hospice, with Robin at her side.
We are hugely grateful for all the hard work, talent and dedication Brenda has given to St Thomas’ over the years.
Brenda’s funeral will be Monday 23rd November at 3.45pm in St Thomas’. In accordance with Government guidelines, only the small number of people organised by the family are able to attend. Please could you remember Brenda’s family and friends in your prayers, especially on Monday 23rd.
Sisters of the Community of the Church
Christmas Appeal
This year the Sisters will be buying all special Christmas foodstuffs themselves, so they are asking us not to donate them, instead they would like:
Gifts for men (they have 4 times more men than ladies): gloves, warm scarves, hats, socks and especially toiletry sets
Gifts for ladies: gloves, warm scarves and hats, socks, and individual toiletries
Gifts for children: money donations for Argos vouchers, so that a £15 voucher per child can be given to all the families the Sisters know are in need, as they have done in previous years.
James will drop off donated items to the Sisters on Monday 7th December.
Our church is open for Private Prayer

If you come into the church and find others there, please maintain social distancing. Also please read the notices and comply with instructions about hand sanitising etc.
