What a joy to celebrate Holy Week and Easter together this year. Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to support our celebration - choir and musicians, ushers, vergers, lectors, LEMs, acolytes, altar guild, flower guild, children's leaders, kitchen helpers, grounds committee, and our dedicated church staff. Special thanks to Ralph Wimberly for creating beautiful altar decorations all week, Marquette McKnight for organizing our Palm Sunday Passion reading, Larry Dooley for organizing our Good Friday Passion reading, Sue O'Dell for leading the altar guild, Dan Ginter for leading our ushers, Wilson Ford for organizing acolytes, and to our young adults for sharing in The Watch. Enjoy these images from the week.
What a joy it is to celebrate a more typical observance of Holy Week after two years of @ home, hybrid, outdoor, limited attendance, and all of the options we created over the past two years.
We are a church of loving, committed and searching Christians who value diversity and cherish the gifts of young and old alike. We welcome ALL God’s children into our sacramental community, respecting the dignity of every person as we are called to a ministry of reconciliation and inclusion. You are welcome here as God’s own.
Like the apostle Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our lives together and find ourselves transformed.
We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us!
We know finding a church can be hard. We were all new to St. Thomas once, so let us tell you a little about ourselves.
We are named for the apostle Thomas, whose life was changed when he encountered the risen Christ. His confession of faith, “My Lord and my God,” is printed above our altar.
Like Thomas, we encounter the risen Christ in our life together and find our lives transformed. We invite you to worship, learn, and serve with us.
St. Thomas was founded in 1958 and is a congregation of about 400-600 people. A few folks have been here for a long time, but a lot of us are newcomers! Some of us grew up as Episcopalians, some of us came from other Christian traditions, and some of us have no religious background at all!
It is easy to join St. Thomas as a member. Just tell us you want to belong, and we'll enroll you as a baptized member of the congregation. If you've never been baptized, contact Rev. Grace to schedule a time for Holy Baptism. We look forward to being in touch with you.
For a one-time gift, you will be asked to load a form of payment to be debited when you make your gift. You can log in to your St. Thomas Member Portal account to give or view past gifts.
