The Bible: A Text for Our Lives Today

This year, we want to explore more what God’s Story means for our life today as a living text and inspired Word of God by looking at what the Prophets and writers of the Old Testament have to say – to the Gospel, to the challenges of our times.

Join us for the Sunday Forum at 9:15 as we explore part of the history of the People of God as found in the Book of Nehemiah.  Coming out of exile, there was great possibility, hope, but also uncertainty and anxiety.  Given the challenges and tensions of the day, why were these people so joyous?  More importantly, what message do these forebears have for us in our time? Come discover more with us this Sunday.  No experience is necessary, questions are welcome, wondering encouraged! 

Our Lectionary Bible Study regularly meets Sundays, apart from the first Sunday of each month and Super Sundays at 9:15 in the Parish Hall.

This week, we’ll explore the gift of a new voice!  Yes, you too!!

Come find out more! Each week, our youth (grades 7^th-12^th) are invited to journey together with our rector and other leaders on a series of conversations and events that not only leads to affirm their faith with Confirmation, but also equips them as disciples and leaders well into their future.  Overall, this is intended to be a two-year journey, exploring what makes the Christian faith and our tradition relevant and moving into a second-year experience that will take them completely through the Bible.  This is not a class, but rather a group of their own, gathering weekly after the 10:15 service (from 11:30 to 12:30) for a time of fellowship and their own private conversation with Fr. Darren and other leaders along the way to engage questions of our faith in a safe and fun way.  While each week has its own topic, the more we put into the, the greater the impact and richer the conversation with each other.  If you have a young person who is interested, but have not yet been able to join us, it’s not too late, especially as we prepare for Confirmation, but we need to hear from you. Questions, contact Fr. Darren darren@stthomasepiscopal.org

It’s the final days and we need your help to make the goal!

With less than 10% away from reaching our goal, perhaps you or someone you know will be the one to make the difference towards realizing our pledge goal for this new year and post-COVID! 

One family has extended an invitation to pledge, by making a match of up to $30,000 for each new and/or increased gift! We’re now in the final days to take advantage of the match and help bring our goal home!  Are you the ONE to make all the difference?  YES!
