St. Thomas Providing Service

The youth group has been doing a great job helping the community lately. In November we made casseroles for St. John's Hospice. The casseroles that the youth made were served to homeless and hungry people in Philadelphia. The work the group did was surely appreciated especially at this time of year.

Following the casserole cooking event, the High School youth group members met up at Presbyterian Village to play bingo with the residents there. As usual, having our group there with them brightened their spirits. We'll plan to make another trip back in the spring.

Lastly, we have another opportunity to serve our own parishioners coming up for Christmas. On Saturday, December 13th the youth group will be delivering poinsettia plants to our church members who are either home-bound or who have lost a loved one this year. Bringing this gifts to our parishioners is always a special treat not only for those who receive the plants but for all of the youth group members who take part in this event.

If you can make it, please respond to the evite!

Just for Fun...
The youth group has had a great start during the fall and will continue in the Spring. Before we take a break for Christmas, we will celebrate together on Tuesday 12/16. Stay tuned for details about the party!
