If you can pay a little more to help us absorb the increased costs\, that will help. Making reservations also helps us prepare the right amount of food and avoid waste. Make a reservation below or by calling the church office each week by Monday at 3. You may donate at the door or online. \nTo help control costs\, and to help us all eat in a healthy way\, we are cutting back on desserts. Dessert will be served at 6 rather than left out during the meal. We’ll serve birthday cake on the first Wednesday of the month. Other Wednesdays\, we’ll enjoy fruit or homemade treats. \nChef Stacy will prepare delicious cold meals while we wait for kitchen renovations to be completed. Menus will be announced ahead of time. Our new kitchen will have a grill\, griddle\, and more oven space. We appreciate your patience while we complete this culinary transformation. \n\n\n \n \n Wednesday Meal Sign Up\n \n \n Δ\n \n \n\n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email\n \n How many adults/youth from your household typically plan to eat dinner?(Required)How many children (5th grade and under) from your household typically plan to eat dinner?Will your household attend most Wednesday dinners during August and September?(Required)\n \n \n Yes\, most weeks\n \n \n \n Some weeks\n \n \n \n We're not sure yet\n Does anyone in your household have food allergies or dietary restrictions?(Examples: vegetarian\, gluten-free\, dairy-free\, nut allergy\, etc.)\n Submit URL:https://www.stthomascolumbus.org/event/wednesday-dinners/2026-10-28/ CATEGORIES:Wonderful Wednesdays ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.stthomascolumbus.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2025-Wednesday-Night-Dinner-1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261028T184500 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261028T193000 DTSTAMP:20260902T223854Z CREATED:20260902T223833Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260902T223854Z UID:10000864-1793213100-1793215800@www.stthomascolumbus.org SUMMARY:Children's Wednesday Night Formation DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday nights\, children will learn about women saints and their stories of faith as they prepare for All Saints Sunday in November.

Food costs have risen substantially\, but we are keeping the suggested donation at $7.50 per adult\, $5 for children through grade 5\, or $25 per family because we want everyone to participate. If you can pay a little more to help us absorb the increased costs\, that will help. Making reservations also helps us prepare the right amount of food and avoid waste. Make a reservation below or by calling the church office each week by Monday at 3. You may donate at the door or online. \nTo help control costs\, and to help us all eat in a healthy way\, we are cutting back on desserts. Dessert will be served at 6 rather than left out during the meal. We’ll serve birthday cake on the first Wednesday of the month. Other Wednesdays\, we’ll enjoy fruit or homemade treats. \nChef Stacy will prepare delicious cold meals while we wait for kitchen renovations to be completed. Menus will be announced ahead of time. Our new kitchen will have a grill\, griddle\, and more oven space. We appreciate your patience while we complete this culinary transformation. \n\n \n \n Wednesday Meal Sign Up\n \n \n Δ\n \n \n\n \n Name(Required)\n \n \n \n First\n \n \n \n \n Last\n \n \n Email\n \n How many adults/youth from your household typically plan to eat dinner?(Required)How many children (5th grade and under) from your household typically plan to eat dinner?Will your household attend most Wednesday dinners during August and September?(Required)\n \n \n Yes\, most weeks\n \n \n \n Some weeks\n \n \n \n We're not sure yet\n Does anyone in your household have food allergies or dietary restrictions?(Examples: vegetarian\, gluten-free\, dairy-free\, nut allergy\, etc.)\n Submit URL:https://www.stthomascolumbus.org/event/wednesday-dinners/2026-11-11/ CATEGORIES:Wonderful Wednesdays ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.stthomascolumbus.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/2025-Wednesday-Night-Dinner-1.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20261112T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20261112T110000 DTSTAMP:20260909T192647Z CREATED:20260902T203238Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260909T192647Z UID:10000552-1794477600-1794481200@www.stthomascolumbus.org SUMMARY:Women’s Lectionary Study Group DESCRIPTION:Join in the Library every Thursday at 10 am for thoughtful conversation and study.
