Our Worship
Worship is the center of our life as a community. It is a time when we can take a break from our busy lives and enjoy a moment of peace, healing, and renewal. As we give thanks for God’s blessings, we share Christ’s love, which becomes a source of comfort and gives us strength.
Our community encompasses old and new friends to include all people the love of Jesus Christ. We are always ready to welcome newcomers.
Every Sunday at 10 AM, St. Thomas holds hybrid services: in-person worship in the sanctuary along with a simultaneous, fully interactive Zoom transmission. Our worship is usually Holy Eucharist and sometimes Morning Prayer; both are Rite Two (with contemporary language).
When we gather as a community, we hear God’s word, offer our voices to God in song, and share our concerns to God in prayer. Each week, we are drawn closer to one another in fellowship through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Children
Our children’s Christian Education program has many different components. Find out more in the children or youth sections of our website.
