A funeral service for Lowell Thomas at St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church yesterday drew 800 people, including former President Gerald R. Ford, Vice President Bush and Secretary of State Alexander M. Haig Jr. ''In my book there was never anyone like him,'' said the Rev. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, a lo ngtime friend who delivered the eulogy at the church, a t 51st Street and Park Avenue. Looking down from the pulpit at the gold-flecked coffin draped with the church's embroidered pall, Dr. Peale decribed the veteran newscaster as ''one of the most remarkable men of our time, or, indeed, of any time.'' Dr. Peale said that Mr. Thomas, who died at his estate in Pawling, N.Y., last Saturday at the age of 89, rose from humble beginnings in a ''personification of the Horatio Alger tradition.'' He said the broadcaster always had a desire to excel and to explore, and always cared for people.

President Reagan plan s to make a series of changes in his political, press office and co mmunications operations soon after he returns here tomorrow from his month-long vacation in California, White House officials said today. The officials said the changes had been prompted by dissatisfaction with the press office operations and the need to find replacements for two top political aides who are leaving, Lyn Nofziger and Edward Rollins. Both Mr. Nofziger, assistant to the President for political affairs, and Mr. Rollins, his deputy, were described by knowledgeable aides as leaving partly because they were dissatisfied with what they viewed as a lack of support for their operations. Mr. Nofziger, for example, was reportedly upset that he was not given responsibility for the White House Communications Office, which instead was placed under David R. Gergen, the senior White House spokesman. The office is in charge of speechwriting, research and presentation of the Reagan program to the media.

President Reagan's economic recovery program, despite the successes of his first seven months, appears to be entering its most critical and vulnerable phase, both supporters and critics of the program are saying. Alan Greenspan, a former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers and an influential outside adviser to the President, contends that the Administration now has no more than six months to convince the financial markets - mainly by making more budget cuts - that the Reagan program will work and bring down interest rates before the economy falls into severe trouble. In Mr. Greenspan's view, unless conditions change dramatically, the nation's thrift institutions can hold together only another six months. Mr. Greenspan, who also says he doubts the President can balance the Federal budget by 1984, says Mr. Reagan will have to persuade the already skeptical and stubborn financial markets that significant movement toward a balanced budget is enough progress to warrant confidence and lower interest rates.

THE Metropolitan Opera's centenary celebrations are still two years in the future, but plans are already afoot to make the season of 1983-84 one that operagoers will never forget. The festivities will begin in mid-September 1983 with an opening-night revival of Berlioz's epical ''Les Troyens'' starring Placido Domingo as Aeneas. About a month later, on Oct. 22, 100 years to the day since the Met first opened its doors with a performance of ''Faust,'' there will be a gala concert, and operatic luminaries all over the world have been asked to reserve the date so that they may participate. The Met's anniversary will automatically inspire a tremendous amount of nostalgia about the company's glamorous vocal past. Fortunately, many great performances have been preserved on records and tapes. The ongoing series of historic Met broadcast releases, seven of which are now available through the Metropolitan Opera Guild, will offer a special anniversary album of six disks featuring excerpts from several memorable Saturday matinee broadcasts dating back to the 1930's.
