Happening around us:
Restoring the Lantern: St. Thomas has reached a pivotal moment. Our roof urgently needs repair, and if it isn’t addressed, our building — and the ministry it shelters — will be at risk. Our building is more than bricks and beams. It is the lantern that shelters worship, welcome, and essential community out reach. Our goal is $50,000, and there are a number of ways to give. Donate: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/st-thomas-church/campaign/Restoring-the-lantern/
Whether you’re able to give or simply help by sharing this campaign, thank you for helping keep the lantern shining.”

Week 22: Learn the History of The Potlatch Ceremony
“A potlatch is a vital ceremonial institution practiced by Indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest Coast to celebrate major life events, transfer rights, and affirm social status through feasting, dancing, and significant gift-giving. Hosted by chiefs and families, this “giving” ceremony acts as a crucial, traditional method for passing down history and validating community identity”

Holy Eucharist
Second Sunday after Pentecost
Priest: Rev. James Gomez Lay Readers: Doug Livingston
Readings:
Genesis 1:1-2:4a Psalm 8
2 Corinthians 13:11-13 Mathew 28:16-20
Trinity Sunday commemorates the Christian doctrine of God: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—three persons in one substance, an eternal community of love. Observed on the first Sunday after Pentecost, Trinity Sunday marks the beginning of the Trinity Season (or Trinitytide), also called the Season after Pentecost or Ordinary Time. Trinity is a fitting name for this season because the focus shifts from the great feasts of sacred history—Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Ascension, Easter, and Pentecost—to the ongoing life of Christian growth in the love of our Trinitarian God.
