The Saint Thomas Church Adult Choir

The Saint Thomas Church Adult Choir, headed by choir director Mr. Robert Blauvelt, are a wonderful group of people who get together every Sunday to join their voices in song.  If you love to
sing, and you would like to join the choir, you would be more than welcomed.  When you sit in the pew of our church and the music begins, these voices you hear are so inspirational, that you can't
help but feel good inside as they sing for God.  Wouldn't you like to join the choir?  If so, please see either Robert or Dale Blauvelt.

Women's Club Nursing Home Volunteers
Dedicated to bringing a little smile into other people's lives are the members of the Women's Club Volunteers at the Rohr Nursing Home.  Once a month these ladies come to the home for birthday day, a day dedicated
to the patients at the home.  They are treated to ice cream cake, corsages, and birthday cards custom made for them to enjoy.  They sing "Happy Birthday" and bring a lot of cheer to those who really appreciate it and
