St. Thomas the Apostle invites the people of our diocese to a month of celebration to commemorate Black History Month. Our theme is Celebrating Blacks: Diversity, Inclusion and Peace.
Two Saturday events are planned. On Feb. 8, from 2 pm to 4 pm in our parish hall, we are hosting a fashion show with clothing from a variety of countries from around the world. A display of arts and crafts will also enhance our understanding of the diversity of black culture in countries of the Caribbean, North America, and Africa. On Feb 15 at 1 pm, Kathy Armstrong and Stacey Can-Tamakloe from Carleton University will lead a drumming workshop, which will be followed by a panel discussion on the topic of ‘Black Contributions to Peace’ from 3 pm to 4 pm in the parish hall.
At our 10 am Sunday worship, we will have special guest preachers throughout the month of February and an enhanced coffee hour following the service with finger foods from different African and Caribbean countries each week.
We hope you will be able to join us for worship or some of these special events! (2345 Alta Vista Dr.)
