St. Thomas to Participate in the Oakmont Street Sale

After a two-year hiatus, St. Thomas will be participating in the Oakmont Summer Street Sale this year. We are in need of volunteers to help to set up and tear down, as well as those willing to pass out waters, do face painting, etc. at the booth itself.   

The Sale will run from 10-3 on July 26. Please speak with Theresa McClain or Wilma Gaughan for details or to sign up. 

Blessing of the Backpacks
St. Thomas invites parents, children, young people, anyone beginning a new school/college term to bring their backpacks to church for a parish celebration of the "Blessing of the Backpacks" during the 8:00 and 10:30 am services on Welcome Back Sunday, August 24. 

Normal Worship Service Schedule

Please feel free to worship with us on any Sunday:

8:00 a.m.: This is our most traditional service. It is a beautiful peaceful and quiet holy communion without regular music. It follows the Rite One service from the Book of Common Prayer.

10:30 a.m.: This service is filled with music, both traditional as well as contemporary. A practical message is given every week, applying the timeless wisdom of the Bible to everyday life. A parallel children’s ministry called Gods Kids is offered for kids five years old through fifth grade. The service follows the Rite Two holy communion service from the Book of Common Prayer.  This service is streamed online for those who cannot be in church.

9:00 a.m.: Breakfast (coffee, doughnuts, bagels): There’s plenty of food, especially for the family running late. A donation of fifty cents is welcome but your credit is good with us. 

9:30 a.m.: Christian Education:  An Adult Forum class meets in the Parish Hall and a Small Group meets in the Guild Room.  Children’s Christian Education meets in classes in the upstairs Parish Hall.

Small Groups: There’s a small group for just about anyone (meeting at various times), according to what is your interest. There are women’s groups, men’s groups, mixed groups, traditional Bible studies or book groups to completely untraditional offerings like learning to play the guitar or how to use a computer. Won’t you try one out and get to know some folks along the way.

Wednesday mornings: 10:00 a.m. This simple holy communion service is an unpretentious time to worship and pray and includes a special time to pray for healing.  This service is held in the small sanctuary in the Thomas House (the far right red door on Delaware Avenue labelled as Office).

Welcome to St. Thomas, Oakmont!

We are a group of people who believe Jesus is alive and welcome people no matter where they happen to be on their spiritual journey.

• What we believe: We believe that we Christians are part of the Body of Christ and that we are accepted where we are. But God never leaves us where we are but calls us to grow: spiritually, in the life of our community, in the life of our congregation and in number.
• Our Mission: We, as members of the Body of Christ, are called to grow: spiritually, in parish life, in our community, and as a congregation.
