    Through our belief and faithful witness that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, we can influence this community to have life in Jesus name.

    What is our motto, our slogan, at St. Thomas? A Believing Church in an Doubting World. From the very beginning, God called His people to believe, to be faithful, to trust Him. God told Noah to build an ark; and he believed Him and was saved. He told Abram that he’d give him the land of Canaan ...read more

    As part of the household of God, we represent Jesus in the world, and should look and act like Him.

    Our gospel today from Luke is a precious moment in the life of the nascent Church. We see Jesus praying, with his followers around him. And he tells them—he tells us—about who he is and about who we are. Think of it as a sort of family portrait. Jesus is praying. All of our life, all ...read more
