Who We Are
He said to them.... "Come and see." (John, 1:39)
We are:
Diverse.
We are people of various lifestyles, sexual orientations,
ethnicities, abilities, disabilities, and ages. Our pastor
is a woman, who has directed St. Thomas for 15 years. We are
part of the Episcopal Church USA, but many of us are of
other persuasions and denominations.
Worshipful.
About 85 of us gather at two Sunday services: 8:00 a.m. is a said
service, while 10:00 a.m. has hymns and other music, as well as
Sunday School and a nursery. You are welcome at all services.
Communitarian. We are a green church working toward reduction of global warming and have foreign service activities in Nigeria, Kenya, and the Philippines. Once each quarter we prepare breakfast for the people at St. Martin's Hospitality Center, a day center for the homeless which we founded 20 years ago.
