WE HAVE SO MUCH HAPPENING AT ST THOMAS THE APOSTLE CHURCH DURING LENT! PLEASE PARTAKE AND SPREAD THE WORD ELECTRONICALLY OR BY WORD OF MOUTH. AND PLEASE REMEMBER---- ALL ARE WELCOME HERE!! Prayer: Deepening Our Relationship with God Tuesdays March 25, April 1, and April 8 at 7 p.m. in the Parish Center Are you looking for a more personal and positive way to make your Lenten practices change your life? If so, please join us for three successive Tuesday evenings to learn and practice methods of deepening your relationship with God and experiencing the love that is yours already. Forget about sin. Forget about how flawed you think you are. Let God worry about that. All you need is to desire to know God more. So let your curiosity get the better of you. But be warned: We will not be responsible for inevitable transformations. Were just the messengers.

Each evening we meet we will study a particular part of the Passion account from both an historical and literary viewpoint. In addition to this we will look at how this part of the Passion has been portrayed in art and in music. Two meetings remain on March 21st and 31st from 7:15 to 8:30 PM in the parish center. All are welcome. Bring your copy of the scriptures with you.
