I had a blessed time reading last month's Thanksgiving verses. Let the blessings continue into December by learning how to PRAISE God, through the good and the bad. Brother Chi-cheng will be blogging (our church is so high tech! My mom doesn't even know how to use a webcam) all the verses for December aqui.

Thomas Announcements 12/2/2013

Welcome to DECEMBER!!

I feel like it was just yesterday when I was writing about MOVEMBER. Now I welcome thee Christmas music into my life. But before that, let's #TBT so some of our favorite "mustaches" of November. See if you can guess who these studly lads are.

Announcements!

1. Please stay for Sunday Service.

We were so excited to see all of our out-of-towner Thomas people! Thanks for coming back and visiting us. Although playing Turkey Bowl, boba runs, food truck dates, late night Settlers, catchphrase and our new fave game HEADS UP (click to view the evidence) are all top notch fun, the one thing that can't be beat is worshipping our God together on Sunday :) It reminds me why we are family. I hope that we will always worship together as the young adult body of SVCA.
