"Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen."
Ephesians 3: 20-21
Christian communities are called to nurture faith in Christ and to serve the world God loves. Ministry is the cornerstone of realizing this call. To make ministry happen, financial stewardship is a necessity. At St. Thomas Anglican Church we make it happen through faithful and effective stewardship of our time, talents and money.
Offering envelopes and applications for PAR (Pre-Authorized Remittance) are available through the office.

Snowflake Bazaar & Luncheon
Held in early November each year, the annual Snowflake Bazaar and Luncheon is the major fundraising event for the parish. Planning starts early in the year, and offers plenty of opportunity for fun and fellowship for participants. From the bake table, crafts, Silent Auction, and children's area, to the delicious homemade luncheon served from the kitchen, this is a not-to-be-missed event in the community!
Grocery Certificates
Do you buy groceries? Are you interested in a way for the church to earn $5 for every $100 you spend at various grocery retailers in Ottawa? Gift cards are sold in $25/50/100/250 denominations and used just as you would cash in purchasing your groceries. For every $100 dollars in Gift Cards purchased, St. Thomas receives $5. Participation is not limited to members of St. Thomas. Grocery gift cards can be purchased by anyone at face value. Contact Elizabeth in the church office to purchase certificates.
WHY NOT PARTICIPATE? - IT DOESN'T COST ANY MORE THAN YOU NOW PAY FOR GROCERIES.

Gracious and loving God we thank you
for the many blessings of life.
We thank you for the gift of faith, the joy in believing, the fellowship of our community, and the ministry you entrust to us.
We thank you for the legacy of St. Thomas, Stittsville, and for the gift of the Holy Spirit that opens our hearts to new possibilities.
We ask for Your blessing as we continue to nurture faith in Christ, and serve the world You love so dearly.
Open our hearts and minds to your guidance as we pledge our offering to you in thanksgiving for your abundant grace.
May we always be mindful of the needs of others, showing forth your glory as is revealed to us in Jesus, our Lord.
Amen
