Summer Sale at St. Thomas'.  An annual Summer Sale, usually held in mid-May, is a great social occasion not only for the parishioners but for the whole local community who give it their unstinting support. Many Church members are involved in the preparations and on the day of the sale and this provides an important outlet for their commitment to the Parish, as well as contributing a welcome addition to the church funds.  More Pictures »
