Your St. Thomas & Grace Church Resource Center

Episcopal Relief & Development - update:    ST&G has a long history of making donations to ERD annually, and whenever there are significant natural disasters such as the recent hurricanes and wildfires.   These donations are not part of the parish budget - they represent additional contributions by parish members or proceeds from fundraisers.   In 2020, ST&G donated $640 to ERD.  .Please send your ERD donations to the Treasurer  (ST&G, 19 Conant Square, Brandon, VT 05733) and put ERD on the memo line.   If you have prefer to donate to  ERD directly online or via email, it would be helpful to tell the Treasurer so that the Vestry will know the total number (not amount) of donations to ERD from parish members.

Monthly Silent Prayer Vigils

On Sunday, June 7, 2020, members and friends of St. Thomas & Grace  Episcopal Church participated in the first of what has become monthly silent prayer vigils as a  public witness against racism.    From 1:00-1:30 pm participants stand quietly in front of the St. Thomas Church building on Route 7 holding signs that proclaim Racism is Sin and similar messages.   This event is part of a statewide effort publicized by the Episcopal Diocese of Vermont and involving many faith communities  around the state.   About 15-20 members and friends continue in this public witness on first Sundays.
