St. Thomas Welcomes Families to Prayers, Pumpkins and Pizza!

The Rev. Chelsy Bouwman

November 1, 2023

St. Thomas, Sherwood Park welcomed families (approximately 40 children and their parents) to our parish's annual Prayers, Pumpkins and Pizza event. Gathering upstairs in the church, we took time to talk about the many things we are grateful for, then headed downstairs to carve pumpkins with our friends and family. Before packing up our carved pumpkins to take home, we ended our day by devouring 17 large pizzas. Pumpkin carving makes you work up an appetite.
