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 5th Grade

Godly Play Sunday School is a Montessori-style religious education program that supports, challenges, nurtures, and guides children on their spiritual quest. It provides children a deeply respectful experience with scripture, enabling them to fully enter into its power.
Godly Play 1 Core Stories engages younger children with sacred storytelling, wondering, and response. For Children ages 4 years through 2nd grade. (Godly Play Room 1, ELC
Floor 2)
Godly Play 2 Extension & Enrichment Stories engage older children with deeper conversations, richer explorations of scripture and tradition, and more opportunities to connect faith with everyday life. For Children in 3rd through 5th grade. (Godly Play Room 2, ELC Floor 2)
Godly Play takes place on Sundays from 9:45am-10:45am starting September 13. After Godly Play ends, children will be escorted to the west transept of the church to join their families for Holy Communion.
Middle & High School Youth Group
Sundays from 9-10am
Grades 6-12
September-June
Youth Group at St. Thomas is a welcoming place for middle and high school students to explore faith, build friendships, and have fun together. Each gathering includes time to connect over donuts and snacks, enjoy games and activities, and engage in prayer, teaching, and meaningful conversation about life, faith, and what it means to follow Jesus today.
This year, we're diving into Echo the Story, an engaging, discussion-based approach to Scripture that invites youth to enter deeply into biblical stories and consider how God's story connects with their own experiences. Through creative storytelling, thoughtful questions, and honest conversation, participants are encouraged to wonder, reflect, and share their perspectives in a supportive environment. Rather than focusing on having all the answers, Echo the Story helps young people develop a deeper understanding of Scripture, strengthen their faith, and discover how God is at work in their everyday lives.
Adult Formation
At St. Thomas, adult formation is a chance to gather together and discuss important topics in our life of faith and our community. Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, there is a way for you to grow your faith at St. Thomas.

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.

October 15 | PorchLight Meal: 3 volunteers are needed. We start cooking at 9am and then load up the car at 11am to drive to the PorchLight Emergency Shelter. We start serving food at noon, then eat with the men before returning to the church about 1pm. If you just want to cook or join us at the shelter, that is fine. 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.
