From Rhode Island-Standing in the heart of Smithfield’s Greenville village as the ebb and flow of traffic continues on Routes 116 and 44, St. Thomas Episcopal Church remains a historic sanctuary to the community it serves.
With a growing congregation over the last few years, along with renovations to its structure, the church will open its doors to the community on Saturday and Sunday for an open house filled with food and information.
“Come on by and see what you’re missing,” says church rector Susan Carpenter.
Carpenter says this is the first time the church, which has been a staple in Smithfield since the late 1800s, has had such an open house.
“It’s a way for the community to come in as we open our doors and invite the community to come and see what we’re all about,” said Carpenter. “The community has been noticing we’ve been more active and vibrant.”
