Programs & Events
Child Care
Our beautiful, staffed child room is located on the first floor of the Ebsworth Life Center. It is open on Sundays from 9AM-1PM year round for children aged 4 and younger. Although children of all ages are always welcome in church, we are glad to be able to provide the youngest members of our community with a safe space to play and enjoy some extra wiggle room.
Children's Chapel
Children’s Chapel is a worship experience for children aged 4-5th grade that takes place on Sundays during the summer months (when we take a break from Godly Play and Building Blocks of Faith). Children's Chapel takes place in the Kid’s Club room on the second floor of the Ebsworth Life Center. On Children’s Chapel Sundays, children join their parents or guardians at the beginning of church. Following the opening hymn, they will receive a blessing, and depart church for Children’s Chapel. They will return at the Peace.
Godly Play
Sundays from 9:45-10:45am
Ages 4 years through 2nd Grade
September-June
Godly Play Sunday School is a Montessori-style religious education program created by Jerome W. Berryman. It is an imaginative approach to working with children that supports, challenges, nourishes, and guides their spiritual quest. It provides children a deeply respectful experience with scripture, enabling them to fully enter into its power.
At each session of Godly Play children will: be welcomed, build the circle, experience a story, wonder about the story, respond to the story, and say goodbye.
After Godly Play ends, children will be escorted to the west transept of the church to join their families for Holy Communion.
Building Blocks of Faith
Sundays from 9:45-10:45am
for Children in Grades 3-5
from September-June.
Grounded in the Building Faith Brick by Brick curriculum, Building Blocks of Faith is a Lego-based Sunday school experience that enables children to engage with scripture stories imaginatively using Legos. Each week, there will be a prayer practice, a retelling of a scripture story, time for wondering and asking questions, and an opportunity to build the story using Legos. Following Building Blocks, children return to church during the Peace for the Eucharist.
Fellowship
At St. Thomas, fellowship encompasses the many ways we simply enjoy being together—through coffee hours, shared meals, seasonal gatherings, intergenerational events, and activities that bring our community closer. It’s an to connect, build relationships, and experience the joy of belonging.
Outreach
At St. Thomas, outreach is how we live out our faith in service to our neighbors. From providing meals and essential supplies to supporting local families, partnering with community organizations, and responding to urgent needs, our parish seeks to embody Christ’s love through practical, thoughtful action. Whether you prefer hands-on service, behind-the-scenes support, or seasonal giving opportunities, there is always a meaningful way to make a difference with others in our St. Thomas community.
UPCOMING

August 27 PorchLight Meal: 2 volunteers are needed. There really won't be a party per se, but a food donation still needs to get to the PorchLight-Emergency Shelter for their staff to prepare the meal. 1 person needs to purchase the food on 8/26 at Costco and Chef's Store then drop it off at St. Thomas. The following day, the other volunteer needs to pick it up at the church at take it to the shelter so that it is there about 9:30 AM. The shelter kitchen is aware that they will need to prepare it. (Conversely, if someone wants to organize a group to prepare the chicken and lettuce like it is normally done, you can do that, too. It would be best if that person was familiar with the program.) Please contact Laurie Angelo if you are interested or able to help.

Music
At St. Thomas, music is one of the most beautiful ways we pray. Rooted in the Anglican choral tradition and open to fresh expressions of sacred song, our music ministry invites the whole parish—children, youth, and adults—to lift their voices in worship. Congregational singing stands at the heart of our services, supported by excellent choral leadership, vibrant instrumental offerings, and opportunities for all ages to deepen their faith through music. Whether you come to sing, listen, learn, or simply be carried by the beauty of sound, the music at St. Thomas helps us encounter God with joy, reverence, and wonder.
